Michael Paul Sousa

Attorney for Life Mike has been servicing all my legal needs for the past 15 years acting as my personal, business and family attorney. He exhibits all the qualities you wish to have in an attorney. The actual work he does is prompt, thorough and correct. Obviously, most important. But his approac...h is kind of like a country doctor – familiar, caring, and patient. This is a short list of all the stuff Mike has done for me • Secured me a Certificate of Rehabilitation & Governor’s Pardon for a youthful crime I had on my record • Set up my business as a corporation • Created my Family Trust and Will documents & serviced these instruments as my family has grown If you’ve used Mike you have found an attorney for life. I have recommended Mike to all of my family members, and they thanked me for the recommendation.

Mr. Sousa took on my case after a consultation. I had been re-classified from exempt to non-exempt and switched to an hourly wage based on my salary. The complaint was that while 3 years as an exempt employee, more than 50% of the time, I was performing job duties that other non-exempt employees were... paid overtime for. Rather than back paying me, they just re-classified me to non-exempt with no explanation. Mike explained that he believed I had a case and what the expectations would be as far as the procedure goes. I provided everything he asked for on my side and let him do his job. He was calm when things were stressful for me and reassuring of my position. At the end of the depositions and the mediations, I received a favorable settlement. This happened mainly because Mr. Sousa KNOWS the laws and is confident in his client's position.
