Michael Anthony Fluetsch

Hired Mike Fluetsch in February 2013 to represent us in an urgent civil real estate litigation matter. We had just moved into a home and found undisclosed leaks, standing water underneath and toxic black mold. We were advised to vacate and move out of the home. Time was of the essence. It took him 2 ...months just to send out the first demand letter. In the 5 months he represented us he billed us $7,500 yet accomplished nothing of substance. We begged him to hurry up, yet he was unable to coordinate the 4 parties to an inspection or mediation. The attorney I hired after Mike got both scheduled within the first month. He would go days, sometimes weeks, without returning emails or phone calls, always telling us he was busy on other matters when he finally replied. Then he would double-bill us for telling us by phone and email he had made no progress again. The delays he caused allowed the fraudulent seller of our home to spend her $153,000 in proceeds and then file bankruptcy when she was finally brought into the lawsuit, leaving us with no remedy against her. Even his emails and correspondence were full of typographical errors because he had no support staff. In fact, he billed us $300/hour that should have been secretarial work. This is the first attorney I have ever hired and I could not be more unsatisfied with him. Zero stars would be more fitting.
