Explains and works well

Through my experience with Michael, he was easy to work with and affordable, compared to most lawyers. Goes with you with the process and what to expect. Would recommend.

Knowledgeable Attorney

I will start saying; hiring a lawyer is not always easy and end results are always painful and we most likely will not be happy. However, I want to start with thanking Michael for all his patience, guidance, understanding me through this hard 4 years that we worked together and all his hard work. ... We put a hell of a fight against a team that was dishonest, disorganized, and not well intended, but he always managed to keep me well-rounded in difficult times. Thankfully, I am pleased to say this chapter of my life is finally over and it is that time to move forward with life. Thank you Michael for everything and for your help on closing this painful chapter of my life. If you are looking for a professional, compassionate, and good guidance Michael Marquez will be the attorney for you.

Highly Recommend Mike for both Personable and Legal Skills

What I really liked about Mike was that he was able to talk to me on my level about the legal process. Being able to easily communicate with him was very helpful and comforting throughout our work together. At the beginning, I was very nervous about going to court (even for a "simple" settlemen...t) and his personable style made a big difference getting me started in the important steps I had to take. His professionalism and knowledge gave me confidence when in the courtroom, and after each step he would provide insights about the proceedings which I had not picked up. He was encouraging and offered great guidance on a range of issues. Mike always knew what to do, and yet never took action before I clearly understood and agreed on everything. I am very happy that I could work with Mike throughout the whole process, winning both my original case and a lengthy appeal by my opponents. In addition to getting what was owed to me, Mike also got back legal costs and fees from frivolous motions filed by the opposing side. Mike is a professional and he cares about his clients. He represented me as though he was representing himself.

Superb Attorney!!

Upon meeting Mr. Marquez, I was initially impressed with his genuine sense of interest and understanding in my dilemma (custody case). Without getting into too great of specifics; this review cannot possibly capture the intense level of professionalism, understanding, and caring he put into represen...ting not just myself, but the interests of my children. He was in constant contact, bringing very effective, fluid communication to me at every possible juncture. Not only did he do a superb job of preparing my case; he went out of his way to ensure that I was completely comfortable before each hearing or event. Never have I felt so strongly represented by someone that so genuinely cared about the best interests of myself as his client; and more so - my children. His fee structure is more than reasonable; and the value of his services have long since far outweighed his fees. Because of the service he's provided, my relationship with my children has never been better. The time the children and I get to spend together is of the highest quality it's ever been. I can't begin to quantify the effect and impact his representation of me has had on our lives. I can't thank him enough, and would proudly endorse and recommend him to anyone in need of first rate representation.
