Financially destroy your ex!

Michael is a no drama divorce attorney. He won’t waste your time and money on drama. He focuses on numbers, and will use these numbers to strategically and systematically destroy your soon to be ex! Go see Michael Getshel!

Hands Down the Best Family Law Attorney

Michael guided me through a volatile divorce with child custody issues, and for years after with support and modification orders. His calm demeanor and encyclopedic knowledge of the law truly made the process very approachable for a client like me with no experience with any kind of legal matter. I a...m forever grateful for Michael's expert counsel and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a true professional to help them navigate the emotionally charged waters of a divorce.

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.
