About Michael

"A good divorce is better than a bad marriage."

I am not your traditional attorney who went to law school in his twenties with parental support.  To the contrary, I went to law school for four years at night while working a full-time day-job (CSULB Lecturer) all the while raising four children.  I relate very well with the average hard-working citizen who has limited financial resources to spend on legal services and carefully manage time and legal budgets in order to get the best results at an affordable cost.  Allow my assoiciates and I to represent you in getting the outcome you desire.

Review Michael Lindley

Smooth divorce

Posted by

Michael got me through one of the most difficult times of my life. He got me as much visitation as I could handle and made it where I didn't have to pay much spousal support. I be recommend him to a couple friends all of whom were also very satisfied.

Peace of mind

Posted by

Michel successfully defended me against 6 false DV charges and then got her on vexatious litigant list where she can't file any more against me for life. 4 or 5 of the worst years of my life in the past but now I have peace of mind. Thanks again.

Happier life

Posted by

Mr. Lindley was an absolute God send. He helped me throughout the process. Without his Councel I would not have had as smooth of a Divorce, relatively speaking, than I did. Thanks to his professionalism and expertise I am now a happier person and father that enjoys joint custody of my two children!
