Thank you Mika!

At a time when it felt like no lawyer would help us, Mika Domingo stepped up to the plate and efficiently assisted my grandfather in updating his will. Her superb moral judgment, flexibility with her time, and enjoyable nature made the process not only bearable but enjoyable. We will be forever grate...ful for her kindness and how she helped our family.

Best Lawyer I've Ever Worked With

Mika Domingo and her staff are very professional, and I really appreciate how Mika treats her clients like her family. Not a single moment did I feel like I was working with my lawyer. I must say, while I was going through a very tough time with the loss of my dad whilst having to take care of legal ...issues, Mika really helped in my bereavement alongside my case. It really makes a whole lot of difference when you experience that your lawyer truly cares about you and your case. What made it great with Mika is that when I was on the verge of giving up, she didn’t, and that inspired me to persevere, too. Mika has also done an excellent job in finding solutions for me and she has consistently updated me with the progress; she always provided me with research and explanations, so I’d fully understand where we were at. I commend her excellent analytical and research skills. Her sound judgement and creativity in finding solutions are incomparable. I am very lucky I found her and truly am thankful for all of her time and patience with me. If you need a talented and compassionate lawyer, there’s no one else to recommend but Mika. You won’t regret it.

Outstanding service and knowledge

Mika helped me with the settlement of my fathers estate. She was so helpful and kind at such a difficult time. I would recommend anyone who is frustrated with estate/Trust settlement issues to work with Mika as her kindness was unsurpassed.

Made everything so simple!

I hired Michelle to assist me in incorporating my solo practice, and she spent a lot of time explaining the process and took care of everything so that I could focus on running my practice. She's incredibly knowledgeable and prompt with responses to my questions. I highly recommend using Michelle!

Trust/Will Estate Planning

Michelle was an exceptional in planning my families trust and will. She guided us and was a tremendous help doing this for my sister and me while in town. She was so responsive and quick to get the paperwork needed for the grant deed, trust, will. She answers questions via email or phone in a timel...y manner. I have already shared her name with quite a few friends for their future planning. We are so pleased to have such an important process behind us.

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.
