Posted by James | June 10, 2015 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Very highly recommended, very knowledgable even in very complex bankruptcy

Provided a lot of initial advice with no consultation fee, very informative, very helpful. Was happy to answer everything we needed to know without his first and highest concern being his pocketbook, something I've seen in many, many OTHER attorneys. (He also has an offices in Colorado where we are)... Where other attorneys wouldn't even read the content of our case he asked the questions that needed asked and answered the questions that needed answered, and - most critically, has empathy. I've worked with a lot of attorneys, both good and bad, and by far, this is one of the best I've encountered. Knows bankruptcy like the back of his hand. Though I live 4 hours away, and there are a lot of bankruptcy attorneys locally, I'd go out of my way to retain Mike - and (yes) we ultimately did retain him. I am very impressed with the attorneys Archer Bay has (Davis is a partner), we've also retained John Scorsine before for other non-bankruptcy matters. If you need a hell of a good attorney on your bankruptcy, Mikes the guy - and I recommend Archer Bay as well.
