Took my retainer and vanished

Took my $ for divorce. A couple of phone calls but it came time to pull file- I never heard from him again.

Truly Caring Attorney

I hired Mike two years ago when I was going through a divorce. I recently ran into him when I was grocery shopping with my daughter. When I stopped to say hi to him, he took time out to ask her how she was doing. He had only met my daughter once when I had to bring her to one of our meetings but year...s later still remembered her name and that she like horses. I appreciate the time he took to understand my family during the divorce and I appreciate how truly caring of an attorney that he is.

Not a good lawyer!!

Hired this so-called divorce attorney and he did nothing but file paperwork once and kept continuing my case and then when I was ready to go to trial he dropped my case and never gave me an itemized receipt and now he won’t answer my calls .

Horrible Attorney, don't waste your money!

We hired this man on a child custody case, in which he dropped the ball and didn't proceed with but still took our retainer money. And nothing was ever done and no communication at all! Horrible!
