Michael W Seidel

Mike was well prepared for my case, almost always available as the situation changed over the course of a couple months, and was empathetic to the situation at hand. He kept my priorities in mind, giving me every chance he could to see my child while my situation was unfolding, and even after the res...training order filed against me was dismissed. I highly recommend Mr. Seidel to anyone with a family law issue.

When I was served divorce papers I didn't know what to do. I called Michael Seidel for legal help. He explained the process to me and led me through a strategic response. Then things got complicated, much more complicated. Mike has been my guide over the last two years through a protracted, highly li...tigious, contentious divorce. He handled a multitude of legal filings, hearings, trials, lawsuits and complaints all with knowledgeable and strategic guidance in a professional and ethical manner. In addition to top notch service and professionalism he really cares about his clients and the outcome of the case. Though a protracted case like mine comes with a cost his services fully warrant his fees. Thank you Mike, you salvaged my life. Really.

Mr. Seidel was my attorney for my divorce and contested Restraining Order. I was an abused woman with three children who obtained a Restraining Order against my husband. Oregon was my state of jurisdiction but I was not from there and had no family there. I met with Mr. Seidel explained my complex si...tuation and retained him. After fleeing Oregon with my children to safety and family in my home state, my ex contested the Restraining Order. Mr. Seidel represented me at that hearing allowing me to appear via phone. My restraining order was upheld. My ex husband then filed for divorce. Again Mr. Seidel represented me for the entire divorce process. There were many issues that arose during this process for me due to my concern for my children and the continued harassment by my ex. Mr. Seidel and his understanding staff helped me immensely even though they themselves were being harassed and threatened by my ex. From start to finish my divorce took only 8 months. Thanks to Mr. Seidel's legal knowledge, I won every hearing we had. The Judge saw my ex as the abusive, scary person he was and thus severely limited his visitation for the children's protection and made provision for mine as well. In the end, I was awarded everything I asked for in the divorce. I truly feel my outcome would not have been as favorable if I'd had another attorney. Mr. Seidel fought for me and my children and he was on my side with my best interest in mind. I have unfortunately, gone trough the divorce process before and didn't have the same experience. I was in awe the first time I met with Mr. Seidel. Right away, I knew I was talking to a brilliant person. He knew the law inside and out! But what impressed me most was that he asked me what I wanted out of the divorce. He then proceeded to council me toward that goal never waivering or compromising my interests during the entire divorce process. If anyone is in need of an attorney; he's the one you want in your corner!

I was so frightened and vulnerable. I was traumatized by a car accident and although I was not sited as being the party at fault, the other party involved was 'out for blood'. Mike coordinated my legal care, responding to numerous lawyers the other party kept trying to bring on board and running inte...rference with insurance companies. I had never had any reason to need an attorney and I was strengthened by the fact that I was in knowledgeable, competent and compassionate hands. I am so glad Mike worked with me. In a perfect world, I wouldn't have needed a professional to represent me but the other party was so intensely hostile and I was so shaken up, having a great attorney made all the difference in my mental as well as my financial life. It's been a while since I've taken the time to say, "Thank you, Michael.".....Please consider it said.

Mr Seidel supported me and a family member through a court case reciently. The case was difficult on our family to say the least. I found him easily accessible, helpful, understanding and clear. I was kept well informed of the process and what i could expect. In court he was confident and a great ass...et to the case. My costs were exactly what i was told to expect and if asked i recommend Mr Seidel to anyone in need Of a Good Doggon Lawyer!
