Michael Jamie Eng

Choose Michael ONLY FOR GETING INSULTED AND NO HELP AT ALL! We contacted them for a simple traffic case. All they provided is “go deal with the police and court yourself, we won’t be there for x, y, and z!” . All we heard was “Don’t bother us with this crap but leave your legal plan money here!”. ...“You should be responsible for all the chores you did because WE ASSUME YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG BEFORE THE COURT SAYS SO!”. If you need someone to remind yourself how unfortunate you are for needing a legal assistance, go get Michael. They are the perfect person to do so! Oh and make sure to share all your legal plan details if you have one, they’ll probably make sure to get the money for doing just the reminder for you. That’s it! Enjoy your life with them, you’ll appreciate it!

Michael is probably the worst lawyer I’ve ever worked with. He’s impatient, arrogant, defensive, and extremely unprofessional. When I read his past reviews, it was already a red flag that he responded to every single bad review with an “it’s not my fault, it’s yours” attitude. It was naive of me t...o ignore that warning, so I hope you won't make the same mistake. When I worked with Michael, he started by rambling for so long that he didn’t really give me a chance to speak. When I finally got a word in, his English wasn’t great, so he would misinterpret me and then blame me for not stating things clearly. He would remember things when it benefited him and conveniently “forget” things when it didn’t. Then he started attacking me over my personal life and got incredibly defensive when I called him out on it. I want everyone to know that while his price might be cheaper than other lawyers, when you hire him, you are NOT going to find someone who is on your side. He has a desire to belittle people and talk like he is smarter than everyone else. If you want more stress in your life, go ahead and hire him.

I spoke with Michael last year regarding a CP2000 notice I had received. While he was professional and asked what seemed like the right questions, his ultimate advice was for me to visit a local IRS office. A year later, I engaged a different firm that clearly explained the proper process for hand...ling underpayment issues with the IRS. It turns out the entire process is automated, and the suggestion to visit the IRS in person was not only unnecessary but ultimately incorrect. As a result, my case was delayed significantly, and I’ve now incurred over $20,000 in interest. Although Michael was courteous and professional, his guidance reflected a lack of understanding of how the IRS actually operates. Proceed with caution.

I was assigned this attorney through a network benefit from my employer. I told them exactly what I needed and I was never properly matched. Another attorney was kind enough to correspond with the plaintiffs attorney but no one actually worked or assisted with my case. Michael doesn’t care, he didn’...t want to touch it because another attorney literally communicated in an attempt to help but was never actively working my case. To prevent eviction a paralegal submitted paperwork but again is not touching any other aspect of case. But due to this he can’t help. I think it was a weak move and a cop out. How are you working a case touched by another attorney when it’s only due to kindness I even got the help I got? I guess I’ll just have to wait to be kicked out since he didn’t even care about the specific details of the case. I finally after over a month of begging got assigned to someone that could help and won’t. It’s frustrating and things like this is why I’m studying for the LSAT. I want to help ppl who had bad luck and just want to get their lives back on track. I would never want anyone to feel have I have been left to feel.
