This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I would recommend him wholeheartedly!

Michael Johnson made the experience of going through bankruptcy a smooth transition. He made sure we knew what information he needed and gave us forms to fill in to ensure all the information was documented for the trustee. We followed his instructions and everything went off without a hitch. He cou...ld definitely charge more for the level of experience he brought to us. Thankfully, he was understanding of the stress the whole situation was and his price allowed us to continue. Really, I’m not sure how he does it with time he spent working with us and ensuring every I was dotted and T was crossed. I would recommend him to anyone needing this type of service!

Caring attorney

I found him to be very caring and attentive which is sometimes hard to find in lawyers. He takes his time to listen and doesn't rush and is down to earth.

Personal care

Mike is very attentive to detail and deadlines going through the bankruptcy process. He kept us informed and up to date on ALL processes and procedures that we dealt with in the process. We always felt comforted that our next step was taken care of, and we would get out of our "Mess" with everything ...cleaned up, taken care of, and would be out of our lives and in our past. We were ready to move to the future knowing everything was taken care of so well by Mike.
