Compassionate and professional

Michael is an interesting blend of dry humor, and traditional common sense. You get a sense that he's been in the situation you're currently in hundreds of times, and can navigate you towards the best situation. In my case, Michael was unfortunately dealt a bad hand, as the lawyer prior to him made m...y case incredibly more difficult and expensive costing me thousands of dollars. Michael did what he could, getting fees taken off, and taking the case in a positive direction. I only wish he had been in charge the entire time.

Guardian Angel and Attorney in one

I had 2 consults with Michael and several phone calls in between those 2 consults. He showed me the utmost competence, professionalism and compassion of any attorney I have ever met. It was clear that he was more interested than doing what's right for me than what might just be good for business. Eve...n though I haven't retained him yet, his response time, knowledge and very clear and sound legal advice demonstrate to me that he is a rare gem in the legal community! Thank you Michael - you're truly befitting of your namesake Archangel Michael.

Great representation!!

Michael Strebe represented me in a recent spousal support hearing and his representation was stellar. I had been raked over the coals by my ex until I hired Michael. He was ALWAYS available whenever I called and he gave a piece of mind I hadn't known during the entire divorce. (5yrs)I used to think I... couldn't afford and attorney, after my experience with Michael, I learned I couldn't afford NOT to have him. Thank you very much Michael!

Excellent attorney - highly recommend

I turned to Michael Strebe because I was unhappy with my previous lawyer in a dissolution matter. What a pleasant surprise! Michael was knowledgeable, highly effective and always kept in mind my best interest. He maintatined just the right amount of communication, keeping me properly informed whi...le, at the same time, shielding me from all the drama the other party was constantly introducing into the proceedings. Michael Strebe managed to find the proper strategy to bring the whole matter to a timely conclusion. I never felt that he was doing anything to increase his billing (unlike my previous attorney). I felt that I had the type of client attorney relationship with him you expect when you hire an attorney: no nonsense, caring and, above all, effective in achieving goals at a reasonable cost.

Micheal is one of the best lawyer.

"I hired Michael to help me with my case and would like to recommend him as a strong advocate who helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Michael guided me through the entire process, with compassion and really cared about my case. Michael was professional and competent through the trial ...and got me a winning verdict. I highly recommend him for divorce and domestic violence cases.
