Michael Hulshof

I hired Michael to do a simple divorce. I feared that having an attorney would make matters more complicated. I voiced my concern with Michael. He assured me that he would make it as non hostile as possible....and he did. We got everything done within a few months. I really appreciated Michael's assistance in my case.

I hired Mr. Hulshof to work on my divorce. He was very easy to talk with. Mr. Hulshof was able to negotiate a favorable settlement to my divorce. I would recommend him to any client that has family law issues.

Michael was very professional and straightforward. He would keep me updated with the potential possible outcomes of my child custody case. He definitely had my best interest at hand. He would return my calls and always keep me in the loop. He never made me feel like I was wasting his time when speaking with him, which is the experience I have had with some attorneys. My situation was an expensive one, but we did get the desired results in the end, which is all that matters. His paperwork and court appearances are always very professional and well put. Because of his help I am now able to see my son everyday as opposed to 4 times a month. Michael was there when everything seemed to be going wrong.

My story is sad one. My child was terminally ill and Father had restricted visitation. Michael was able to double my visitation time, but that is not what makes him great. After I was no longer his client I called him and told him that Father was restricting visitation again and our child was ready to pass. He told me he would do my case pro bono. He was genuinely upset. I will never forget that.

I was in a bad place. I no longer worked and was kicked out of my house. I moved in with my daughter in another state and had no money to my name. I was shocked that this could be happening to me. I contacted michael for help. He immediately reassured me that he would do everything he can to put me in a position to move on. Within 20 days of hiring he got me $3,400 in spousal support per month, and he was paying michael's fees. We just settled and guess what....He had to take all the debt and ship all my things to me at his expense. I also got half his retirement. I am very happy with the outcome.

Me and my husband had agreed to the terms of a dissolution and just wanted someone to do the paperwork and a good settlement agreement. I was very impressed with his work. He was responsive and had all paperwork, including divorce judgment sent to the court within 31 days! We have to wait another 3 months until we are "officially" single but the judgment is done and we can move on with our lives. Thank you michael.

I contacted Mr. Hulshof to have as non-contentious divorce as possible. I was mortified when my friends told me the horrible journey they had with their ex's when filing for divorce. They also told me about their "blood thirsty" attorneys creating tens of thousands in attorney fees. When I talked with Michael I expressed my concerns. He just smiled back telling me that a dissolution only has to be as contentious as the parties desire. You know what...he was right!! We very quickly filed, did what ever other paperwork we needed. We worked with my ex wife and set a settlement meeting. We were able to come to an agreement. I never even needed to step a foot in the courthouse! It was a great experience. I always tell my friends if they had Michael their pockets would be a bit fuller, and hair a bit less gray.

Michael was great to work with in the process. He listened to my story, took my information down, and showed me the correct paperwork to fill out in order to expedite everything. Any time I had a question he was available with an answer. I will definitely recommend him to anybody who is unfortunate enough to need his services. Thank you Michael!!

I want to first state that my divorce was ugly. My wife told me I would never see our kids, filed for child support, and filed a restraining order on me. I was lost but found Mr. Hulshof. He sat down and calmly mapped out the process, what could happen, and what we would do next. As we went through the process he was always attentive and responded quickly. We were able to prove that my ex was a liar and the restraining order was denied. We went to mediation and at the hearing we were given primary custody. The funniest thing of all is that she actually paid ME child support!! As she was berating her attorney in the hallway all I could think was "glad I hired michael". I would and have recommended him to others.

Michael, with his insight and guidance, was able to finalize my divorce in the best way possible. After several years of working on the case with other lawyers, he made it all happen I highly recommend him.

Michael Hulshof was my second attorney with a previous firm who was assigned to my case within the firm when my original attorney left the firm. I was so concerned about losing my first attorney and he assured me that Michael Hulshof would do a very fine job and not to be concerned at all! He was so right! Mr. Hulshof put my heart and mind at ease the moment I met him. He had reviewed my case and knew exactly how to handle my extremely difficult Ex and opposing counsel. Every step of the way, he took the time to advise me. He is knowledgeable, He is Fair, He will Fight for you and what is in your best interest, He will return your calls promptly, He is sensitive and most considerate throughout all the stress and difficulty one will encounter processing through divorce while working with you. He will listen to you and most importantly, Hear you. This attorney knows what to do in the court room! He was amazing, calm and was always one step ahead of opposing and the whole court game, negotiations and process. Boom! He nailed it. Then the unthinkable happened!! He also chose a better opportunity with another firm, The Law Offices of Reed K. Scott. There was still more work to be done after the hearing. I eventually followed him and basically begged him to take my case on and finish what we started. He absolutely did not have to take on my case, but he did giving me great assurance that he would see this to closure. His new firm were so understanding. Prayers answered once again. Needless to say, he represented me and the outcome was much more than what I expected and what I fairly deserved. My family came to court and they immediately approved and even relayed to me how fortunate I was to get Michael. Everything is done now. Michael did a Fantastic job representing me. Would I refer him to others? In a heartbeat and already have.

I am one of those poor saps that got taken for a ride in my divorce. in 2004 my divorce was final and I had to pay permanent support of $2500 per month. I hired an attorney in 2009 to terminate support and failed miserably. I thought about giving it one more shot and hired Michael Hulshof. He very directly told me about the difficulties but was reassuring that my case fell within the realm of perhaps getting it modified. It took 5 months but guess what spousal support is terminated. I can now think about a day I can retire and not have to worry about this crazy ongoing expense. I highly recommend Mr. Hulshof.

I had two previous attorneys and nothing had been done. They promised big and underdelivered. I then came to Christian Schank & Associates and was introduced to Michael. He was understanding and a straight shooter. I accomplished more with him as my attorney as the previous two attornies combined. I would highly recommend Michael.

I came in scared not knowing what to do. My Ex wanted to take my kids because I wanted to move out of state. The recommendation wasn't in my favor and my ex's attorney was a prick. He calmed me down and did everything he could. Guess what? We WON! I got to move away with my children. I also got him court ordered drug testing.

I signed on with Christian Schank hoping that I could find a firm that would help me end my marriage from the miserable monster I was with. Michael not only helped me but got me exactly what I wanted. He reassured me consistently that things will be okay. He very specific about the process. I am glad I had Michael on my side.
