Highly recommend!

Michael was referred to me from a friend. I never had to hire a attorney before for anything, so going into it I was extremely nervous, but once I had my consultation I knew I would be in good hands. He was extremely thorough and answered any and every question I had (which was a lot). He prepped me ...before my meeting with the board, which was extremely helpful. I honestly believe if I did not have Michael as my attorney, my outcome would not have been as good as it was. I would recommend him any day! The cost is well worth it!

Outstanding Attorney

I worked with Michael on my licensure defense case against the Board. I called the office to schedule a consult and Michael agreed to meet with me later that same day. His general availability, flexibility, and genuine willingness make accomodations, in my opinion, demonstrates his wonderful work eth...ic and person-centered approach with his clients. He was there to provide guidance and support during the most frightening and distressing ordeal of my life. At the consult Michael was up front about the costs. He did not create any sense of false hope nor speculate unpredictable possible outcomes, which I found refreshing. Communication was excellent as he is available through varying modes (call, text, e-mail.) Michael consistently provided prompt responses, detailed information, and transparent instructions throughout the progress of my case. Michael was patient with my many questions and concerns. He never made me feel rushed when we'd go over the expected time, or feel like any kind of inconvenience. Michael provided excellent assistance with revising and collaborating on the final written response. During the prepping/coaching sessions, he made sure I had ample time to learn & practice those skills to an appropriate comfort level. Michael accompanied me to the review panel. I was quite moved by his opening statement. He possessed sincerity and conviction in his words that displayed genuine support and belief in my case. My case was complex and the cards were seemingly stacked against me, yet in the end the Board fully dismissed every allegation in the case. Michael is genuinely motivated, passionate, and devoted to assisting nurses & others receive justice and fair treatment through his utilization of experience and intellect along with the consistent application of ethical practice. I would highly recommend Michael Weber, without hesitation.

Past Client

Michael Weber handled my personal case last year during one of the most trying times of my life. With his legal excellence and guidance my case ended favorably and I was able to maintain my professional nursing license without suspension. Michael Weber is highly knowledgable, meticulous, authentic, r...eliable and professional. Most importantly, Michael treated me with dignity and respect and was always patient when I had questions or difficulty understanding the details of my case.

Knowledgable & Responsive Attorney

Obtaining an attorney during a legal issue is never easy. Michael made it easy and was confidently reassuring. He met with me to review the facts of my issues and provided me with options. He was open about costs, as well as possible risks and benefits to my decisions. He spent time prior to hear...ings reviewing my testimony and offered legal guidance. I had multiple panel hearings and felt prepared because of Michael's guidance and support. He was there by my side to answer questions and advocated on my behalf. He kept in touch with me via phone, email and fax to address legal documents which required attention. In the end, I felt the legal advice I received was sound and allowed me to make educated decisions. I trust Michael's legal advice and have recommended him to friend's and acquaintances, looking for legal assistance. I will use Michael's services again should I need an attorney.

Relationship: Co-worker

"It is my privilege to offer an endorsement for this highly accomplished attorney. As a former colleague at the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, I gained familiarity with Michael's strong skills and breadth of knowledge on health licensing matters. He gained the strong respect of his colleagues and happened to also be highly regarded as a person. Since his work as Assistant Attorney General, Michael has transitioned his expertise to a private law practice where he gives seasoned and dedicated representation to clients facing health licensing issues (among his other areas of practice). I endorse Michael with confidence and recommend his services to anyone finding themselves in need."
