Exceptional listener

I didn’t feel rushed or pressured to choose this law firm for my case, but this attorney had all the necessary experience I needed. I felt he was providing expert counsel at a fair rate, and I do not regret my decision to retain Michael Franell.

Imminent Domain

He helped us with imminent domain case and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend him. Excellent communication from beggining to resolution. Wonderful person to work with.

Problem with a lack of communication

Problem with a lack of communication, Attorney trying to make me sign papers, when I did not ask to make a lawsuite or take anyone to court, disregarding my instructions. Not returning the client's documents. Also a baptist pastor?

Very professional!

I had a very sensitive case and he was great through the entire case. From my first consultation, until the case was over, he was very professional and had my best interest at heart. He treated me with respect and took care of everything. I was not even in the same town as him, but was always able to... reach him by phone. His assistant is very great too. This is a lawyer that will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of.

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.
