Smart, ethical, focused

Michael was my attorney for my divorce. My ex had a large number of complicated and hidden assets and dragged the process out at every step. Michael found excellent professionals to help us sort out the mess and kept everything on track. His advice about which issues to pursue and which to let go of ...were very helpful in keeping focus on the matters we could make progress on and not on random issues. He is very knowledgable about how a judge will view the case and develops his strategy accordingly. He did a great job for me and my family and I recommend him whenever I can.

Absolutely the Best!

I went through 2 not very good attorneys for my custody case before I was referred to Michael. I am so grateful that I found him. He is such a kind man and I always felt that he had my back. He is very intelligent and really knows the law. Being a pro tem commissioner himself, he knows what infor...mation commissioners are looking for in a custody case, and he delivers. He is very hard working and was always very responsive and kept me informed. Not only did he win my case, he also obtained a substantial increase in child support for me. When anyone I know is going through a divorce or a child custody case, I always say if you want the best, you need to call Michael. I have referred friends to Michael and they were also very happy and grateful for him and his work and also said that he is just the very best!

Very thorough attorney and nice

Michael was my attorney at the worst time of my life, a divorce that involved domestic violence. I was divorcing an abusive spouse and needed a restraining order; my ex-husband also charged up my credit cards like mad which forced me into bankruptcy. The bankruptcy was very complicated and my first b...ankruptcy attorney quit but Michael was kind enough to handle the Chapter 7 bankruptcy as well and did an extremely thorough job on a complicated Chap 7 that involved closing a business. He is a calm person which I found comforting at a bad chapter in my life! To boot, he's a nice guy and I would hightly recommend him.

Highly Recommended Michael

Michael is professional, knows the law and know how to explain it in laymans terms. Michael has a gentle, kind side which helps him understand the emotions of his clients, however this does not get in the way of him fighting for you and he can be aggressive when he needs to negotiate. He worked hard... for me and helped so much throughout the process of my divorce. He always had my best interests at heart and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has a family law issuel.
