Michelle A. Hauser

Michelle represented me for a very short time, yet, charged ALOT of money. She acted as if she was with the other side and did very poorly with my case. She actually yelled at me at one point for things the other side accused me of as if they were facts instead of seeking the truth. She did not he...lp me nor my children, my son is now dead and my daughter was stuck in the home of our abuser for many years despite having substantiated DCFS/CPS cases against him. Michelle is the worst attorney I have encountered.

No words can express the gratitude that I have for Michelle. I would not have won my case if I did not have Michelle. She worked tirelessly on my case and really showed the Judge what was happening. After 5 years, I have my family back only thanks to Michelle. She was incredibly compassionate, she wo...rked tirelessly, listened to all of my rantings over the last 8 months. She immersed herself in every aspect of my case and had a solution at every turn.Thank you Michelle, not only for being an incredible human, but also a superb attorney.

Looking for representation in a child custody case? Don't go to Michelle Hauser. She's a money hungry attorney who only cares about the all mighty buck she stands to make. She could care less about your child. She's vulgar and offensive and rants how great she is. We went through a very long and... expensive trial and when she found out we were running out of money after paying in excess of 155k, she did everything in her power to settle the case unfavorably and didn't care about our concerns. She wanted it over with when she knew money was an issue and now is suing me for her remaining fees. Tried to settle with her and in her true unreasonable style, the answer was no. I'm now forced to file bankruptcy. She'll treat you like garbage, yell at you, put you down when she doesn't want your input and then come after you using her power to file suit against you for every last dime. Wish I could turn back the hands of time. The horrible experience we had with her will last a lifetime. If you have a complex child custody case, look elsewhere. Don't retain this lady. There's so many other fine, professional attorneys out there and she's definitely not one of them. Child custody cases are so emotional and taxing anyway, and she only adds insult to injury during such a trying time.

I paid over $6000 to Ms. Hauser and got buried in the courtroom. Ms. Hauser seemed to care more about other cases than she did about my case. She told me all about the workload she has and how deep in some people are. I should have known better from the start, but I wasn't an experienced divorcee.... My ex got primary custody and over $2000 a month in child support. The reason I did not go through a custody battle was because my bill with Hauser was already over $5000 for ONE visit to court and I knew I could not afford the deposition and trial at her overcharged rate. A year later, I revisited the court with a different (better) attorney. I was awarded joint shared 50/50 in one visit, no trial or deposition. Needless to say, my child support also went down. I got better results at a significantly lesser rate than Hauser. The only person I would recommend her to is my ex-wife.
