John Michael Myers

John Michael and his paralegal, Jordan, were great to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable about family law and divorce, was direct and concise, and didn't promise outcomes that were unrealistic. He was a great advocate to have during a very difficult time in my life. Would highly recommend h...im for anyone navigating divorce.

John Michael Myers was a steady and reliable presence during a very difficult time in my life. From our first meeting, he was clear, professional, and helped me understand what to expect. The process wasn’t easy, especially with an ex who made things difficult at every turn, but having someone I coul...d trust made a big difference. His team is great, too, always responsive and helpful. I’d recommend him to anyone needing support through a divorce.

My case, in summary, was a divorce after 8 years of marriage and involved 4 children. I left an abusive, volatile individual and my divorce involved a restraining order, lot's of obnoxious details, and plenty of opportunity for drama. Mr. Myers, in summary, remained the steady anchor of my divorc...e process. He knows the legal system extremely well, he has a very good reputation amongst the judges (which means they take him seriously), he handles things with pragmatism and professionalism, and he doesn't get sucked into the emotional drama of the situation. If you're looking for a "hype-man" to tell you about how great your case is and how much your ex sucks, then this is not your guy-- he's too steady and reliable for that. But if you're looking for someone to be honest with you about what to expect, to do the job correctly the first time and to do it with integrity and reliability, then you're in great hands with John Michael and his paralegal, Jordan.

I hired him for a family law, custody case. In 6 months I barely heard back from him. He was late or unavailable for every appointment and deadline he scheduled. When he finally got around to reviewing our case, it was obvious he had no real interest and fundamentally did not wish to understand the ...details of our case even though he had talked me into retaining him by saying that "a good lawyer is an investment." He never subpoenaed the witnesses for trial even though I warned him that they needed to be. He said, "This is not my first rodeo." When trial came my primary witness was already subpoenaed for another trial because he had never spoken to her like I said to. He went on a week long vacation with his girlfriend right before our 3 day trial. He told me that he would work on my case but would be unavailable and wouldn't speak to me until the morning of trial. When trial came he was unprepared, The evidence hadn't even been stamped for court, and my primary witness was unavailable. We had to ask for a continuance. I complained to him and he vindictively filed a motion to withdraw from my case minutes later, leaving me unrepresented. Then, he came back on the case the same day after saying he would if I paid him more which I did. He also charged me over $4,000 for what he claimed was trial prep while on his vacation. Eventually I had to fire him. I lost the $8000 that he was paid to work on the case and all of his mistakes were later used against me by judges. He had a snotty, disrespectful attitude and he deserved a serious bar complaint but I was overwhelmed with the case and couldn't handle anymore.
