Posted by Paul | November 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Very satisfied client

Micah was recommended to me by the colleague of a trusted friend. I hired Micah to handle my divorce. In our initial consultation, I presented him my situation and my expectations. He understood them and advised me accordingly. Although I did not always follow Micah's advice, because I felt compe...lled to go above and beyond what was legally required, while Micah was trying to minimize my exposure, he always laid out my options and the pros and cons of any decision. We listened to each other and found the solution which worked for me. I had full confidence in Micah's ability and respected his advice, even if I at times chose a different path. I appreciated his professionalism and competence, and also his decency. My divorce was closed out in two months according to my wishes with the minimum of - at least legal - "heartache". I gladly recommend Micah to anyone looking for an experienced, competent, and compassionate family law attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

Micah did an outstanding job handling my divorce. He was very easy to talk with, very straight-forward and very knowledgeable. He made the process go smoothly. He listened to my needs and came up with a strategy that fit perfectly. He did not pressure me at all into doing something I did not want to ...do. In addition, his billing was very fair. I did not see him take advantage of that at all. I would definitely recommend him.

Professional and Personable

When suddenly faced with divorce, I asked a family member (also a lawyer) to recommend someone who could guide me through the process. With Micah, I couldn't have fallen into more capable hands. Micah's quiet competence was just what I needed to rebuild my shattered confidence. He helped me see th...ings realistically and stay on target. Micah always took time to explain technicalities to me and brought valuable perspective. But most lawyers do that. What I found most remarkable about Micah was his genuine compassion. Micah always treated me as if mine was the most important case he had ever worked on. Micah also had a keen sense for when I needed a swift, realistic kick in the butt, or some much needed humor. To have such a miserable experience as divorce infused with humanness and kindness was a true blessing.

Knowledgeable, Compassionate, Perceptive Attorney

Micah represented me in my divorce, which was very emotionally challenging for me. He kept me focused on the end objective while still being compassionate about my feelings. His calm demeanor helped keep me from overreacting to what was happening with my husband and his attorney during the settleme...nt process. Micah was respectful and listened to what I wanted and then recommended the best of course of action for my specific situation based on all factors and his past experiences. He shared his knowledge about the process and the law so I understood why he was making a specific recommendation. He fully explained different options so I was able make informed decisions. Micah provided the counsel needed to ensure that my interests were protected and that there were no loose ends that would potentially be an issue in the future. Micah worked to get me the best outcome possible. He truly cared about making sure I was satisfied. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer; The Best!

I hired Micah after my first attorney was unable to progress on my divorce (after charging me over $10,000 for four months of "work"). Within two weeks of hiring Micah, I had a date set for mediation. At mediation, Micah was able to negotiate a better settlement than I thought possible. I went o...ut of mediation thrilled; I swear I was skipping. I can't say enough good things about Micah...knowledgeable, efficient, responsive and an excellent negotiator. You won't find a better lawyer!

"I am happy to endorse Micah. I had the opportunity to work Micah on a joint matter, mediate cases where Micah is representing his client, and as having Micah serve as opposing counsel. 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."

"I have worked with Micah in mediations several times - both with him serving as our mediator - and with him representing his client in mediation. Micah is an honest, smart and well- prepared advocate for his client in mediation.
