Michael A. Hug

In my experience, Michael Hug is truly a miracle worker. I did not start shopping for a divorce lawyer until about a week before my court date. Every law firm I called told me it was too late, and even if they took my case, because of the custody issues it would be expensive. I gave up hope until Mic...hael returned my call (on the weekend!). He assured me my case was not a lost cause, that we still had enough time to prepare (3 days at this point), and he would not charge an exorbitant rate. He succeeded in court and bought the time we needed to build a more effective case. Before the next court date, Michael had negotiated a settlement with my wife giving me custody of our daughter. Michael is a kind person with a gentle sense of humor. He truly cares about his clients and gets involved, and it shows in his work. He kept me informed of everything at every step. He worked with me on payments, as well. He is not a "bulldog" or "bear" - he is an honest, talented lawyer who works hard and is good at what he does. He delivered much more than he promised.

Michael took over my highly contested divorce case about two months in. He started out facing my hostile spouse and his attorney, and a custody issue that was complicated because of educational concerns. His knowledge and experience have been an enormous help to me. The case is still contested, a...nd we are still dealing with a hostile spouse and his attorney, but he has protected my interests and continues to do so. We're at a point now that if we go to court, I am confident that Michael will protect the best interests of my children and myself. Michael and his team are very approachable, and make a point of understanding exactly what it is that their clients want. But they are also very honest in advising about possible scenarios, so that you can make informed decisions. It is not just a job for him. He really cares about the best interests of his clients. I especially like that Michael is very open to fair settlements and negotiations and most definitely not in favor of driving up legal fees by unnecessary litigation. He is very flexible with timings and incredibly prompt in replying to communications. He also worked with me on payments.
