Just absolutely brilliant

I don't think I could write my review any better than already has been done prior to my case. I'll say this much. In each of the reviews each and every one of you all expressed how Michael made you feel. His attention to details and how direct he speaks as your representative of law. Of course, just... a brilliant attorney! That's all I got. Good evening.

Time to Pay the Piper

I’ve known Michael now for 10 years and was impressed with his attention to detail and the way he knows the law better than most while knowing when to strike and when to wait for the bait. Michael is by far the best litigator I have met and that is why I hired him and to see the other side continuall...y dig themselves out of holes Michael put them in and he continued to do this until they simply couldn’t or didn’t have a way to remedy their case or side. The law works in favor of those that do the right thing and stick to what is in writing and what is on a contract. Michael worked extremely hard on my case and countless hours were out in while putting together all the pieces and creating a story from a timeline that he created using a method that made sense. This story in fact, kept getting better and better the more we dug around. Michael is a brilliant attorney and because of him I won my case and my confidence back. Highly recommend.

Fights harder than anyone else

I have contacted many attorneys who do not care to put the effort into the case. No matter what we were up against, Michael Patrick Rooney put his all into our case. In the end we lost due to a bad judge who got fired over this decision, but would call Michael Patrick Rooney again and recommend him t...o our loved ones. This guy is amazing.

Boy Wonder!

I've used several of the lawyers and law firms in San Francisco who are considered the best which unfortunately from my experience never turned out to be the best at all. I believe in order to locate the best this can only be done through word of mouth, so I am here to share with you that Mike R...ooney is an, " EXCELLENT," lawyer. He's a tiger who will go the extra mile. I must say he is also a Lawyer who loves a challenge and as much as the challenge he very much enjoys the journey when your at war with the opposition. Although no lawyer enjoys a client coming to them in the 11th hour and most will even shy away and tell you that there's just not enough time here. In my opinion those are Lazy lawyers who are looking for the easy case. If Mike Rooney feels you have a good case from my experience he'll take the case even while its on the wire. I am happy to recommend him and will use him again and again.

Client

I met Michael when my negotiations with my bank went south and they sold my loan to another bank, lost my files then started legal proceedings against me. After meeting him, within 48 hours he filed court papers to stop the new bank from moving forward and uncovered several unconscionable acts which... violated my consumer rights. He stopped the bleeding and now is helping me with my options in negotiating with my lender. He Is a stand up guy who does what he says on a timely basis and will fight for the homeowner. I would recommend him to anyone who has issues on the slippery slope with today's mortgage servicing professionals. Michael saved my home which I have 50% equity in from these predators, thank you Michael.
