Difficult Domestic Violence Case

Mike assisted me in a time when I had no hope. He was proactive, knowledgeable, transparent but most importantly he always took a very honest approach. He never fed into game play or attacking by the other part and always kept everything factual. He was able to immediately and effectively bring safet...y and stability to me and my children in a situation where I had no voice and my children’s best interest was not being looked at. I will forever be grateful for his guidance during our darkest times giving my children and myself a very different future than the one we were headed to. He was caring and also direct about what needed to be done. I would recommend Mike to anyone.

Caring and Professional

Mike represented me some years ago in a very painful divorce. He was kind, personable, and willing to listen to how I felt about what tactics to take. His son and law partner Mark is the same way. Both are quality attorneys and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

all about the money

In my case for divorce I paid out 100 thousand and when it came time for trial he wanted another 8 thousand. I couldn't afford it at the time. So through the whole trial he did not bearly speak to me, and wouldn't even go over the case. He's all about money and doesn't care about his clients

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
