He got me through my mother's probate

I hired Mr. Moriel to probate my mother’s house that was in foreclosure. We worked quickly to get me appointed administrator, fight off the foreclosure, and sell the house. He closed the estate, we got our inheritance and we all moved on with our lives. I would hire him again.

Probate

Thank you, Mr. Moriel. I hired Mr. Moriel to fight my stepson who wanted to invalidate my husband’s will and his his mother wanted to take all the money from the estate to herself on claims that he owed her back child support. The case was hard fought. Mr. Moriel got my stepson’s mother’s claim fo...r back child support thrown out. We then settled the case paying my stepson much less than he wanted. I would recommend Mr. Moriel.

Excellent

I couldn’t have gotten through my legal nightmare without Mr. Moriel’s help. I was suing four of my family members to force the sale of a triplex we all owned. All four family members died forcing us into probate where I had to deal with more family members. So many cases, different courts it was... a stressful time. We got all the probate case done, I got my money back and was paid for all my services. EMB

My experience

I hired Mr. Moriel for a creditor’s claim for unpaid wages against my employer’s estate and a second case for interference with my expected inheritance by my employer’s power of attorney. My employer’s trustee fought me all the way, not wanting to pay me anything.  After doing discovery and taking... depositions, the trustee ended up paying me nearly $100,000.  I am truly a happy client. Thank you Mr. Moriel MR

Will stick with you until the end!

Mr. Moriel helped me recover part of my inheritance. He always showed up in court and kept me updated. Although there were some twists in our case, he said he would stick with me until the end and he did! The other partie's attorney ended up stealing all the inheritance. Mr. Moriel did his research... and thanks to his knowledge and dedication I was able to recover part of the money. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy attorney. Thanks Mr. Moriel!
