This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Do not use this firm.

Stay away from Michael Pittman and his team. They spend more time taking your money than focusing on your case. After hours of submitting evidence, him and his team did not review it or feel confident. The inexperienced team is terrible at explaining the process or helping you understand. They took a...dvantage of a father trying to do the right thing for his child. After 20,000$ paid to his team I am left with an extremely high child support payments. I am the one that filed against my child’s mother, now left in a worse position. Michael PITTMAN’s firm should be shut down.

Do not hire this attorney!

I've hired him twice now. Same results both times. Nothing ever done! Great promises, ZERO results! Ive been trying for months to get him to help me with my divorce. He has never lifted a finger. I did everything he asked me to, immensely! He hasn't even tried to serve my spouse! After months of e...mails and phone calls, I finally fired him. In the meantime, he has $6000 of my money! He also has a million excuses for not returning my money to me!

First, we strive to provide the best service possible to our clients unfortunately sometimes their demands are unreasonable and that was the case here. The client claimed we still have her $6,000 and that is not the case. The client disputed a $3000 charge with her credit card company, that causes major delays that are out of the law firms control. As for her second case her $3,000 refund was given in the case immediately. Again we strive to provide the best service possible to our clients and we do wish her well with her case.

Worst Lawyer

Very poor lawyer. Warns you about bad DUI lawyers taking your money and doing nothing but then he does just that. Never got any updates, dragged out for almost a year, told to just plead guilty in the end. Such a waste of money that could have paid the fines and fees that came anyways. I have no idea... how he got any good reviews unless they are fake. Look at other website reviews and the BBB reviews as they are all 1 star.

Fake Review. This person has also posted this review several other places a while ago. Unfortunately I can put names in reviews, all I can says that my firm does not and has not had a client by that name. Secondly my firm has skilled and experienced attorneys who are passionate about what they do, especially representing our clients. We offer constant access to our attorneys and staff. Additionally, no client is pawned off, once hired clients are introduced to their attorney and work closely with that attorney throughout the duration of their case. Thirdly Your Arizona Lawyer works diligently and relentlessly on every case to get all of our clients the best possible outcome in their case. Finally, I am sorry this person had a bad experience with a law firm, it makes us all look bad, but we have never represented this person who posted this review.

First to respond

After I got my ticket I had no idea what to do. Mr Pittman was the first person to contact me and spend his time talking about the procedure and steps to take with my defense.

Awesome

The Michael Pittman team is amazing, they are so thorough, and honest. They make you feel like it’s all about you, and truly care! I can’t praise the whole team enough. I got my case dismissed after 4 months thanks to them, if you need a lawyer these guys are the only ones to use, thank you so much J...im, Joanna, and Michael

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
