Michael Sarris

Michael Sarris became my third attorney in Long Beach Family Court and had to step into a case after a full year of litigation. This meant reviewing an extensive amount of documents and untangling the complications left by my previous attorneys — often the most difficult part of taking over a case. ... Michael is extremely reliable and has a calm, composed demeanor. He approaches judges with intelligence and professionalism, always presenting arguments in a thoughtful and strategic way. He is incredibly sharp and organized — he seems to keep every detail of the case in his head. He is also outstanding when it comes to working with numbers and complex financial aspects of the case. Michael is like a rock. While other attorneys may try to play games, manipulate situations, or resort to personal attacks, he never lowers himself to that level. He stays composed, focused, and always maintains the highest level of professionalism. My case had been seriously damaged by irresponsible attorneys before him, but Michael took it on and worked diligently to move it forward and rebuild what had been lost. I am very grateful for his work and dedication.

Mr. Sarris recently handled a delicate and contentious family matter for me that drew on his vast experience and awareness with Child Custody matters, Dissolution, and an unfortunate and unfounded Restraining Order request that I was involved in that was associated to a bogus DCFS accusation. Wi...thin the first hour of my consultation with Mr Sarris, it was clear that he had a solid grasp of my situation, new exactly how to navigate all matters constructively and to the benefit of my children. He provided a clear strategy and plan rooted in what was just and fair that accomplished everything that I was fairly asking of the court. In short, everything alleged by the other party during my recent court hearing was Dismissed. Mr Sarris prevailed on all matters. He was laser focused in his preparation and presentation to the court. He was able to present all matters in my defense clearly to the court, and his motions achieved a profoundly meaningful (and just) outcome that granted me equal custody of my children, and most meaningful to me, Mr Sarris was able to re-unite me with my children for the entirety of the Thanksgiving holiday. I cannot emphasize enough the profound value of having Mr Sarris on your side. He is a man of integrity, of calm focus and my direct experience with him is that he always had awareness on what was best for my children and made sure to advocate the best outcome for them. As a specialized attorney in family law, I can attest that this made all the difference in my situation. I felt like he had my back, and my children's backs. I encourage you to meet him and retain him because he and his vast experience is worth every penny. He will not waste time getting to the heart of a matter and he will propose the most efficient and effective way to navigate challenging situations that ultimately will save you from burning through expenses. Be mindful of who you select to represent you, I was and it mattered profoundly. I recommend Mr Sarris without reservation.

There are no words to express how thankful I am to Michael Sarris for being my divorce lawyer back in 2005. Divorce is an emotionally and logistically stressful time, and to have a trustworthy, realistic, human, sensitive to our needs’ attorney, and specially someone who cares with an impeccable wor...k ethic it is what we crave. And exactly those skills and much more were what I got from Mr. Michael Sarris. He kept constant communication with me and patiently explained the process and the steps to be taken. It meant the world to me that he took the time to listen to my questions and to put in “normal language” the technical law vocabulary, so that I could understand what the process was about. Mr. Michael Sarris, I literally couldn’t have done it without you! He is the best, and I always recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer.

I got introduced to Mr Sarris right at the beginning of my divorce but I had already hired probably the worst lawyer in W LA ( Shelly Mandell) so after a bitter couple of years I finally got the right decision and hired Mr Sarris for my case! Michael made it clear to me that the only thing th...at mattered was my three children! Right from the start he managed to direct the Court's attention to the evasive strategies of the other side and after a number of successful court battles the final judgement was a victory for me and my kids! I would recommend Mr Sarris to anyone who needs a FAMILY MAN to help them in Court!
