Best of the best!

Words cannot fully express my gratitude for Michael Flaxman and his flawless, impeccable work. Nearly ten years after my divorce, he came into my very complicated child custody case and immediately went to work understanding the intricacies that previously led to me obtaining primary custody. He ...validated my immediate concerns, and he worked tirelessly with a laser focus on my kids best interests. Ultimately, he settled our case one month prior to trial, and in a way that gives me peace of mind for my kids and their future. In fact, the settlement turned out to be better than I ever imagined it could be and I credit that solely to Michael Flaxman. Throughout the course of litigation, his communication in court and with opposing counsel was articulate, compelling, and charismatic. It was obvious that Michael Flaxman truly cared about our case. All of his professional correspondences clearly reflected that, and ultimately led us to a court settlement that was prompt and exceeded all of my expectations. Michael Flaxman was exceptionally responsive to all of my calls, texts, and emails, even during evenings and weekends. He was dedicated to guiding me through the numerous and complex correspondences from my ex. He contextualized high-level emotions and educated me on my legal rights in each scenario. This empowered me to find my voice, rebuild boundaries, and enforce court orders effectively. When it came time to draft our settlement agreement, he considered every possible situation and ensured that each was thoroughly addressed. Michael Flaxman is incredibly organized, and his writing style is clear, concise, and professional. He made sure I understood all legal terms completely and that all of my questions and concerns were answered. With the complexities of our case, I really appreciated the time and attention he gave to wrapping up our case with precision. His professional and personal commitment to guiding me through such a challenging situation helped me feel exceptionally well-represented, reminded me to trust the legal process, and gave me hope for my kid’s future. Michael Flaxman truly is the best of the best, and I am genuinely grateful to have found him when I did.

Exceptional champion in your corner

A divorce, especially after a long-term marriage can be complicated, even messy. Attorney Flaxman helps make it clear without unreasonable expectations or promises. I hired Michael after realizing that my first attorney was not up to the job of dealing with what became a contested divorce. Oppos...ing counsel and my husband showed excessive stubbornness, a willingness to ignore legal precedent/laws in Nevada and a desire for costly litigation/trial. Michael not only listened to me, he truly heard me and acted on what was important to me, not only as a client but as a person. After speaking with him for even a few minutes I felt confident and he gave me the strength and tools to get through what can be a long process. I found Michael to be wicked-smart with a great sense of humor. You will feel like you have not only an attorney but a friend by your side in what can be a dark period of your life. Attorney Flaxman is very responsive via phone and email. His billing is more than fair. I believe I received much more than I paid for. He also accomplished what I thought was impossible. He was able to broker a fair settlement mere weeks before trial. Because of how the settlement was structured, I am able to move on with my life without loose ends, unnecessary ties or uncertainty. I highly recommend Michael Flaxman for any family law needs.

He is the best family lawyer in town!

I can’t say enough good things about Michael. He truly cares about his clients. He even picked up my calls on Xmas eve at 8:30pm. He doesn’t over charge and truly cares about his client’ needs. I highly recommend and I refer all of my friends and family to him. Super honest and ethical! Superb human....

Always Calls You Back!

Attorney Flaxman represented me during my divorce and he helped me settle my case before we ever had to attend any hearings. Attorney Flaxman worked with me to negotiate with my husband and we were able to work out custody, division of assets and debts, and spousal support. Attorney Flaxman is knowle...dgeable, compassionate and accessible. Highly recommend him if you want an attorney who knows the law and always returns phone calls and emails.

Highly Skilled Attorney

I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Flaxman is the ONLY attorney I would recommend in this town. He listens, is professional, thorough, honest and quick to respond with questions and clarification pertaining to my case. This case is made more and more complex by the opposing party. Mr. Flaxman... knows how to cut to the chase, end conflict and stay the course, ultimately using the law to pursue justice. As a sealed case I must post anonymously, but I am proud to have Mr. Flaxman as my attorney and highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services. He will fight for you.
