Michael B Hanasab

We hired Jamra and Jamra for a volatile divorce and were super happy to have Michael Hanasab handle our case. There were lots of scary issues to contend with regarding child custody and allegations about unfairness in the divorce proceedings. Michael gave the best advice, although I wasn’t the best ...at following it, I did end up getting full custody of my children. I wish that all of this never happened but am very grateful to Michael for being the voice of reason. He was able to defend a lot of the unjust accusations and kept a calm demeanor throughout all of the drama. I will always be appreciative of Michael’s knowledge of the law and his ability to apply it with such precision. He is honest, reliable and professional. He will get the job done for you and I would highly recommend him.

I was in a very stressful and critical phase of my divorce where I was being accused of some pretty untrue, but lethal things that could have caused me to not get the custody of my children I wanted and deserved. I hired Mike and he came in there and made the "clutch free-throws" when it counted. He ...responded perfectly to the opposing council. We ended up going to court and he walked in their looking highly polished and confident, not arrogant and made the opposing council so nervous, they had no choice but to back down and give me what was fair and reasonable. I highly thank Mike for his professionalism and patience in this war-like and stressful situation. I'd highly recommend him.

I hired Michael (along with Grace Jamra) in 2011. I came over from another big firm as I had been disappointed with the direction of my ongoing custody case. At the time I hired Michael I was facing more litigation and hearings and an evaluation. Michael was able to talk to opposing counsel and made ...every attempt to calm the situation. He knew my case inside and out, was reachable when I needed him and guided me through some very tough times. When it came to the evaluation Michael was instrumental in helping to pick the right evaluator (something that took quite a while) and met with me on several occasions to answer any and all questions I had about the process. Needless to say, my case turned around and in the end Michael was able to get opposing party to settle (even though opposing party was adamant about fighting and going to trial). As for cost, I had to laugh at the negative review here. I was charged triple that amount at my previous firm in a matter of months. The billing with Michael @ Jamra & Jamra was incredibly fair and hugely different billing practices than some of the bigger firms. I never once felt I was being over billed or double/triple billed like I did at my previous big firm. Anyone who is going into custody litigation needs to do research and realize that it is an expensive area of law and the more litigation involved the higher the costs. I wouldn't think twice before recommending Michael to others if they needed a good and competent custody/divorce lawyer.

There are two sides to every story. Todd's review (see below) is completely untrue and obviously emotionally charged. He is upset because he just lost...to Michael. I hired Michael in June 2011 after the mother of my child tried to surreptitiously abscond to Colorado with our 6 year old daughter. ... It is a long and dramatic story, but if it weren't for Michael (and his partner Grace), I probably would have lost my daughter. Custody disputes are never easy, but if you want an attorney who will work tirelessly, pay attention to every detail, offer brilliant advice, and never take advantage of you, then I'd hire Michael. There are some attorneys (like the one's my opponent liked to hire) that will only give you the advice that makes them more money (at the detriment of the client!). Michael, on the other hand, will tell you to settle if that's the smart thing to do. Every step of the way he could have told me to fight on...to go for more...but he didn't. He was always realistic, and honest, even when it meant settling to end the dispute instead of continuing to fight, which would have made him the most money. Beware of this Avvo service...it's hard to tell who is just pissed and who knows what they are talking about. Michael is an incredible attorney, and I would recommend him to anyone.
