Thanks Forever Mr. Ditter!

Mr. Mike Ditter restored our faith in the legal system. We were referred to him through a close relative. He is especially good at explaining complicated probate issues. He is also a great "communicator". All our phone calls and emails were promptly returned. Will be grateful to Mr. Ditter forever. D...efinetely will recommend him to a relative or best friend. He deserves 100 stars!.

Very Satisfied!

Mike Ditter has been handling my estate, and in this capacity he is doing a great job. I highly recommend him. I have referred him to friends, two of which have hired him, and they, too, are very happy with his support and legal expertise.

Stay away.

Ditter is handling what should be a very simple dispersal of an estate. He has stretched the process out over a period of 18 months, has made careless errors, and seldom, if ever, returns calls. I'm not sure if he's inept or dishonest, but he's not someone I'd recommend or hire.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
