Great legal
Outstanding experience with Michael! He helped me successfully resolve an excessive charge quickly and efficiently. Extremely sharp, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. If you’re dealing with a bogus fee or billing dispute and need legal representation that delivers real results, ...

Get no help and insulted, hire Michael!
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!”. ...
Chen, your review cannot be trusted because you omitted and misrepresented critical facts. Here are the facts you kept hidden from the reader. First, no one insulted you. In fact, you used abusive language in your emails to me, while I maintained my professionalism. I think the reader can easily see the abusive language you used by looking at your review. Your tone is palpable. Second, your case is not simple. We explained to you in detail and in no uncertain terms (on multiple occasions) the legal process involved in your case. We also asked you several times to provide the necessary documents so we can review and analyze the facts and issues in your case. The legal process is created by the state and federal governments, not us. No one likes the legal process. But everyone must follow it if they want to protect their rights. You just refused to follow the legal process and our instructions. Like you said, "That's it!" Third, your legal plan specifically instructed you to provide your plan ID for us to confirm your coverage. You failed to provide that information when you contacted us. Again, you just refused to follow instructions. Finally, Avvo Review Guidelines instructed you, among other things, to "Be factually accurate. While you are free to express your opinion, it is important to not exaggerate or misrepresent your experience." Once again, you just refused to follow instructions. Your frustration simply boils down to that, and it has nothing to do with us. It is difficult to trust someone who does not tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Experienced and Tough — Exactly What You Need
Michael provided outstanding legal support when I needed to break my lease with my apartment complex's property management. From the start, it was clear he knew exactly how to handle the situation — he was experienced, strategic, and didn't back down when dealing with the property management team. Th...

Do not ignore the red flags like I did
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...
Your review is fake. In fact, it is AI-generated. Please do not insult the public's intelligence. The public is a lot smarter than you think. You are only fooling yourself. You used 215 words in your review. Yet, none of those words say anything about the legal services you purportedly sought. Our rates are significantly higher than most lawyers because of our experience, expertise, and selectivity of cases. Further, I in fact speak perfect English. That means your review is defamatory and racist. By the way, you and your review are being investigated by Avvo. This will remain posted so everyone can see your defamatory, racist, and fake review.
