Michael Sarris

I have been working with Mr. Sarris for more than 20 years. I have consulted him on business, family and real estate matters. He has provided me sound advice pertinent to doing business in the USA, Australia and Europe. He has represented me twice in a court of Law in California for personal injury c...ases and I won settlements both times. He will not tell you what you want to hear, he will tell you how things are and the cases judgements come as predicted. Very stand up and honest lawyer. I would highly recommend him.

I originally filed for divorce in 2011 and tried collaborative, which was not successful. This went on for over a year, as both parties have to want to cooperate in order for this to work and since there is no judge or court timeline, there is no urgency or means to hold them accountable to complete ...the process timely . Collaborative can become very expensive if one of the parties isn't reasonable as was my case. I then retained another attorney who tried but was not able to gain cooperation from my "ex's" attorney who had an agenda to keep dragging it out and piling on the fees through 2013. Eventually I hired Mike Sarris and it was night and day, within about 6 months we were done. Mike was very knowledgeable, detailed and firm, yet he was able to gain cooperation with the other attorney while ensuring that the terms we wanted were agreed upon with some reasonable compromises along the way. Mike was great at explaining the process and understanding and supportive of my frustration in going through the divorce process. I was very pleased with the outcome and wish I would have hired him from the very beginning. Thanks Mike!
