Daniel T. Michaels

Horrible representation. He did nothing for me. He waited to see what my ex offered and told me to acceot it all because it was all "standard". I had no way to know. I'd never been divorced before. I was married for 14 years and accepted maintenance for only 3 years, on his advice, because "it was ...standard". We never countered anything. He never tried! Later I learned that standard is at least half of the length of the marriage. I hadn't worked for the last 10 years of marriage because I was raising the kids and this short period of maintenance was impossible to ever dig out of. Ironically, many years later I married someone who also used Dan Michaels as his divorce attorney when he divorced his first wife and his experience was the exact same. Dan never did anything, waited until the opposing side made an offer and just said "accept it all because it's standard". It wasn't at all. He's lazy, expensive and destructive.
