All talk and no action
I interviewed several attorneys regarding my divorce - most offered a free initial consultation. After speaking with Michael Switzer I felt he was the one. He listened keenly to the details of my marriage and the issues of the divorce (money) and offered several notions that seemed to enhance my po...
Dear Sir: I am sorry you were dissatisfied with the results in your case. As I recall, things happened as your case was progressing that caused the costs and strategy to change. I am quite sure you did not settle for 50% more than your "worst case" scenario! Regardless, I truly enjoyed getting to know you and wish you the best.
"Michael is one of the most professional attorneys I've ever worked with. He zealously advocated for his client as an opposing counsel is a very contentious and emotional case, while not allowing that zealousness to slip into the kind of unproductive behavior that sadly often characterizes such cases. I endorse Michael."
"I clerked for Mike while we were at the same firm together. Mike is passionate about what he does and has a great deal of experience with Colorado's courts and all areas of family law. Mike genuinely cares about his clients, and he makes a terrific advocate for those needing an insightful and intrepid attorney. I endorse this lawyer without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is an exceptional lawyer with whom I worked for many years. He now has his own firm and I would recommend him to any client. Mike is skilled, ethical and smart, The kind of person you want handling a family law case."
"Mike has all the tools to help parties needing a divorce: compassion, great analytical skill, excellent advocacy, and plain old common sense. Mike worked in my law firm for more than a dozen years and then needed to follow his dream of hanging his own shingle. As with everything Mike does, he approached this discussion with me with honesty and integrity. I've been able to observe Mike's work on cases since leaving the law firm, and he continues to provide very high quality service at an excellent value to his clients."
"I strongly recommend Mike Switzer in the area of family law. Mike and I worked together for approximately seven years and his knowledge of the law, straightforward manner and ability to find solutions for his clients is something I admired and still admire. I highly recommend Mike."
"Mike is an excellent family law attorney. I've know Mike since law school. He is effective with his representation of his clients while understanding the difficulty that all people face going through a divorce."
