Michael Schocket

Not sure whether or not he is currently even licensed to practice, but from my brief experience with him all the character traits mentioned in the previous reviews are still accurate. Overall I would describe him as one who demonstrates typical drug addict behaviors. Beware or better yet stay away. M...y experience definitely reinforces to me the importance of researching someone before consulting. Wish I had read these reviews sooner. But at least I found them as soon as his suspicious behaviors raised red flags. Thanks Avvo!

Talked to him before hiring him, seems like a great lawyer with alot of knowledge so I decided to hire him.. after i had paid him alot of money there was less and less communication, eventually he texted me and said he would have to drop my case due to much work with other clients, he was apologetic ...and said we could meet so he could give me cashiers check to refund back money since he was dropping my case.. day off meeting came and he texted with an excuse why he couldn't meet and reschuled another meeting, day of second meeting was another excuse and reschedule, he never showed up for the third meeting and never returned any of my phone calls after that... I see that he is currently suspend but If that ever gets lifted I don't recommend him I lost roughly $8,000-9,000 with him (all this was about 2 years ago so don't remember exact ammount, just recently thinking about it again and figured I'd atleast leave a reveiw so people don't make the same mistake I did by hiring him)

I hired Michal as an LSAT tutor as I am a prospective Law Student. I left him a deposit for the classes, tutored with him for some time and then I never heard from him again. He took off with some of my money and did not refund or provide me with additional classes or even an explanation. I did every...thing to get a hold of him, including sending a certified letter, but it seems he is in the wind or dead. I have contacted the Oregon state bar regarding his behavior. I am very disappointed and even though I am extremely upset about the situation I hope he is not injured or dead. Michael if you see this, you know who I am please contact me and return my money. I work 2 jobs just to pay for tutoring and you took off with my money.
