We hired Floreani to defend us from a petty lawsuit and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. First of all, Floreani is great about returning phone calls and responding to email. He is skilled at simplifying (both verbally and written) complex legal jargon and concepts in terms a layman can easily understand. His approach is methodical, sober, and calculated. He doesn't get too excited nor does he rely on bravado and bluster. During the trial the opposing attorney (a well known Wimberley attorney) tried to create a circus atmosphere, resorted to school boy taunts and insults, as Floreani stayed calm, focused on the facts of the case and kept Texas law at the forefront of the proceeding. The contrast of the two attorneys could not have been more dramatic. We won the case and will forever be grateful for his work and support. We would highly recommend him to others.
My divorce was finalized in April 2012. Mike Floreani was referred to me by several friends/associates. Prior to requesting Mr. Floreani to represent me, I interviewed 4 additional attorney. I am extremely thankful that I asked Mr. Floreani to represent me and very pleased with the manner that Mr. Floreani handled every aspect of my divorce. I can look back and recognize that my divorce was handled with integrity. Mr. Floreani was very responsive at all times (day, night and weekends), the process was done in a very timely manner, he answered all questions and treated me with respect and billing was very fair. The most important aspect is the fact that Mr. Floreani removed the anxiety and fear I was experiencing at the moment I decided to file for the divorce. I have a young child, home and a business. My primary concern was the custody of my child. Though Mr. Floreani is not a certified counselor - he should be. He quickly removed my fear of " losing my child and losing everything". He assisted greatly with the personal perspective of this very serious "season in my life". I am very thankful for the fine work and counsel Mr. Floreani provided. I highly recommend Mike Floreani.
I represent clients in all Texas courts for family law matters including divorce, marital property issues, child custody, modifications, prenuptial agreements, child support collections, mediations, adoptions and paternity cases. I have worked with clients from many states and countries on their family law matters which relate to Texas. I also work frequently with other attorneys when the client's case is intertwined with business and criminal legal matters.
I represent individuals and business entities in a variety of civil litigation matters. I serve as local counsel for matters involving Hays County, Texas and Travis County, Texas state court jurisdiction.

Awesome Lawyer
After 5 months of unsuccessful counsel from other legal channels, Mike Floreani came highly recommended to me, and with good reason... he was a tremendous help. As a 46 year-old, newly divorced mom after 26 years of marriage, learning my rights and facing the future on my own has left me confused and looking for answers. Mike spent almost an hour with me during my free consultation and gave me more information, advice and compassion than I ever expected. I will not hesitate one bit moving forward with his representation, and can honestly say I left his office feeling like I had gotten some of my dignity back!

Mike informed me about the family courts, and provided a realistic perspective. He is well connected in the courts and with mediators. His experience serves his clients well. Mike helped bring positive and fair results in my case in a timely manner.

Beware.
I would absolutely never ever use Michael Floreani again. He wouldn't return phone calls or e-mails and dragged my case out for over a year. I don't recommend him.

"Mike Floreani and I were colleagues for about 3 years. If I needed litigation or family law counsel myself, I'd gladly turn to him. Mike knows the ins and outs family law practice, but also is a first rate courtroom lawyer. That skill-set makes him very effective on either side of a regular civil case, and an absolute barracuda in the family courts. Mike is also an effective counselor. I've seen Mike broker many creative compromises that left not only his clients, but everyone involved, better off.
Mike was hired by the surviving spouse of the victim of a tragic, famous murder. The murderer was captured and convicted, but as a worthless drifter, he had no money. Most lawyers would never have taken this case. Mike brought it to trial so that his client could have his day in court. The court entered a judgment for a staggering sum, but Mike shunned all publicity and made not a dime. But Mike did JUSTICE that day. I have never been more proud of a colleague."

"Mike Floreani and I have worked together on many legal matters over the years. Mike is extremely bright and has a unique ability to quickly separate the important details from the "background noise" in any legal matter. In even the most heated legal disputes, Mike always seems to find a common sense solution that judges and opposing counselors find compelling."
