The Dream Team

Let's be honest, being involved in any kind of family law case is not fun! It's emotional, frustrating, expensive and lots of other adjectives. Micah was the fifth attorney that I met with. Three other local, respected family law attorneys spoke very highly of Micah to me. I believe that kind of r...ecommendation from your peers speaks volumes and that even in a court room, an attorney's reputation will precede them. I consider this an important factor to take into account when hiring an attorney. My case was full of twists and turns and at different moments, over many months, different possible outcomes came into play. I found Micah to be very knowledgeable of the law and its application. He has a great ability to unpack all of the legal jargon in a practical way. He was thorough in explaining all my options and helping me weigh the impact of each one. In all of our appearances, Micah was well prepared and able to quickly and seamlessly shift gears when the situation compelled. I noticed a common theme of genuine care and compassion in Micah's previous reviews. I can give a big AMEN to that. I felt heard, understood and that the best interest of my family was his focus. However, don't think this kind, compassionate, law nerd isn't a total fighter when the situation calls for it. His compassion manifests into well-spoken, well-written persuasive passion when the time comes! He is a skilled litigator and somehow nice guy turns intimidating when the pressure is on. Just saying, sometimes that is needed. Yet, it was done with the utmost of integrity, as an advocate of the truth. I use to complain about how costly an attorney can be but after that experience I am convinced they are not paid enough! My family and I are forever grateful. Kim, Micah's paralegal, was an integral person for me throughout. Her availability, knowledge and warmth were dependable and reassuring. In keeping with the culture of this team, I would add that all my interactions with other Coldwell Bowes staff was as pleasant as a trip to Chick-fil-A. That's saying something!

The best advocate

Micah Royer is an attorney who will advocate for you from the beginning of the process to the very end. I heard about Mr. Royer through a friend. During my consultation he was very knowledgeable, he and presented elements that benefited me as a client. He is well adversed in the laws, thus allowin...g him to explain clearly what you are entitled to in your case. These specific cases are always challenging and can be extremely tense and stressful. However Mr. Royer fully comprehends what it means to advocate for his client and does it in the most excellent way. That is one of the reasons why I chose tome forward with him as my attorney.

Great Family Law Attorney

I hired Micah to help me with child support modification and enforcement. I reside out of state, so I trusted Micah to handle everything without me ever having to be present. What is normally a fairly simple process was unsurprisingly challenging due to the other party, but Micah and his paralegal, K...im, took a very trying situation and handled it with care and ease. I always felt that Micah had my best interests in mind and was ready to do whatever was necessary to see those interests pursued. He is not only skilled at what he does, but he handles his cases with compassion and care. It is easy to see that he truly cares about his work. I would readily hire Micah again and would highly recommend him.

Awesome Attorney, Highly Recommended

After dealing with several attorneys through a painful divorce, I became a client of Attorney Micah Royer at Coldwell | Bowes. He did an amazing job representing, advising, and supporting me after my ex-wife filed a lawsuit against me. Micah is incredibly knowledgeable of both family law, and the cou...rts his clients’ cases are presented before. His calm and steady presence very successfully steered me through depositions, appearances before the court, mediation, and arbitration over a thirteen month period, and because of his hard work, I have more time with my kids. He was instrumental is assisting me with building a team of professionals to help me navigate all the difficult issues I was struggling with in positive way. I’m a better man and dad after this experience and Micah was a huge part of my growth. His paralegal, Kim Edgington, is awesome! She made compiling the various documents and evidence as pleasant as possible and helped me stay on top of deadlines. The billing folks at Coldwell | Bowes were easy to work with and ensured all the costs were easy to understand. I'm beyond thankful to Micah and his team, and would highly recommend he and his firm.

Attorney Review

Micah Royer and his assistant Kimberly Edgington were not only courteous and professional, but were empathetic to my situation and helped me to keep myself focused on the best interests of my family instead of just my emotions in the process. His rates were reasonable as well.

In every instance Micah has been professional, well prepared, knowledgeable on the facts and the law, and will work towards reasonable solutions when possible and will be a zealous advocate when agreements cannot be reached. Micah is a lawyer that is able to advocate well for his clients while still maintaining professionalism and will treat the opposing counsel and opposing party with respect."
