Seasoned Reliable Practitioner

Michael was hired to help with a case involving two cross-border jurisdictions. An amount of undue stress, frustration and mental/financial cost was unfortunately beyond normal, largely due to us having to deal with an extremely dishonest opposing side, whose counsel (a gentleman named Gaurav Bali) ...in a counter motion was close to facing the judge and get sanctioned due to his unethical/illegal actions on this case (which included them faking the evidence, as well as illegally subpoenaing my former employers and financial institutions). Amidst all of this, Michael was the one who actually helped manage this mess, providing much needed clarity and guidance as to what to do and how to sanction them. I plan on further retaining (and working with) Michael going forward, and highly recommend him as a person/professional with the highest standard of integrity.

Very friendly empathetic and knowledgable

I hired Mr. Strebe for a very complicated divorce and custody case. I was amazed by his availability and responsiveness. When really needed, he would even help on the weekend. His experience with family law is extensive. He always put my interests over his, which included optimizing the work to save ...on attorney fees even if he made lesser money in the process. His understanding of how the other side may think is amazing. Highly recommended.

Excellent, Committed Divorce Attorney

Mr. Strebe has been my very dedicated attorney for nearly four years through a long, complicated, difficult and still on-going divorce. So dedicated and confident in Mr. Strebe I followed him to his current practice where he is co-partner in his firm. He is very responsive to all facets of the div...orce proceedings and I always feel supported by him. During our tenure together Mr. Strebe has been very successful in handling an extremely difficult ex-spouse. He has been especially successful in swiftly addressing myriad threats from the ex-spouse. Divorce is a very stressful process full of many emotions. Mr. Strebe calmly and quickly uses facts, laws and statues to counter any allegations from the opposing party. Mr. Strebe has worked successfully to lower my support obligations and ensure I have a fair custody schedule that protects my time with my children. I highly recommend Mr. Strebe should you ever find yourself in need of a strong, fair, committed divorce attorney.

Michael has got your back!

I had a difficult situation where I was facing a large financial demand. I retained Michael to navigate the case and negotiate with the opposing party on my behalf. Michael's superb negotiation skills resulted in an almost total reduction of the demand, and at all times, he consulted me every step of... the way and made sure that the course of action he charted was one I was comfortable with. Michael is a consummate professional. Michael provided excellent counsel and brought my matter to resolution quickly at a reasonable rate. It was exactly the outcome I wanted and I have Michael to thank for that.

Michael is knowledgeable and has been a tireless defender of my rights. He takes a personal interest in my children and their welfare, as well as my own, I would give him 6 stars if I could!
