I hired Mike Vaghaiwalla for custody and modification of time-sharing for my child. He assumed my case in March 2020 and was very intentional with filing motions to the court. This was successful in getting the time-sharing plan suspended. While we had differences on some issues, he listened to my concerns and offered timely advice to help me make decisions. We had to go to trial regarding permanent custody. Mike’s skills in presenting evidence and questioning both sides resulted in me being granted full custody of my child. Our family is very thankful for his professionalism and expertise. I would definitely recommend him to other fathers that need an experienced lawyer on their side.

Mr. Vaghaiwalla was Fantastic representation! I was unsure of the whole process of divorce, as most people are who go through it. Michael was easy to talk to, knowledgeable, kind hearted, aggressive when needed and wouldn't let me sign anything that wasn't fair. He looked out for my children and myself, catching details I didn't even know needed attention. I am so thankful for him and his staff

Hello avvo readers, First I would like to say, Divorce is a scenario that affects all family involved, especially the children. Parents should always put their children first and the effects of divorce on children can be devastating. Think about your kids first!!!!! The firm initially assisted me with my divorce, during very difficult times and I felt blessed to have them represent me and what I wished to achieve. Fairness....The law is written and came through for me as intended, however It takes seasoned representation to navigate the law, how it is interpreted and what to apply to your case. I found my self in one of those situations, where a bitter former spouse continued to drag post divorce concerns in court for various reason$$$$ including trying to obtain majority parenting time. Michael and his team assisted me with Post divorce concerns and were detailed in their delivery and results obtained were great as expected. I would highly recommend anyone to consult with Michael before making a commitment elsewhere. There are lawyers out there who dont care, dont know or are just too placid with the system that drains your hard earned income without results. Michael and his team are great in addressing the specifics of your concerns and straight shooters in providing results. Proper representation is a must as well as your own efforts to dot the I's and cross the T's if required. I am extremely grateful for Michael and his team's service and will consult them anytime if required. Im at a point of gratitude that if Michael or Nicole were to call me to help them with a flat tire, I would drive out in a heartbeat. Avoid the mistake of not consulting them first!!!!

I want to let everyone looking for a family attorney know that by choosing Mr. Vaghaiwalla, you can breathe a sigh of relief. He will have your back, and put your children and you first. Mike kept me up to date and handled things appropriately as they arose. He is a professional in every aspect of law and I will keep him as needed.

We are lucky to have found Michael and law firm. From consultation to the end of our case, Michael and his paralegal were there for us every step of the way. He was very helpful with COVID19 difficult time and always keep communications open for us. Great price, excellent services, professional and expertise in delivering what we agreed on.. Michael also gave us a fair price for our case as well. I strongly advise anyone to look for a family lawyer should get a consultation with Michael and his firm... Thank you so much Michael and Nicole..

I’d recommend attorney Michael Vaghaiwalla to anyone and everyone! He and his assistant Nicole were very informative, helpful, and to the point. I did not think my case had much hope but wanted to try anyway, attorney Michael did not shy away. I moved to a different country while my case was still in the process but Michael had no problem with this and kept in touch via email/phone. He kept me up to date on the next steps in the court process and how to be prepared for it. I appreciate his help with my case. After months of not seeing my daughter, I’ll soon be reuniting with her. I couldn’t have done it without attorney Michael. Thank you!!

From day one on my case, Michael ensured I had information and assistance to make the best decisions for my situation. With his assistance I successfully navigated the sometimes complicated and tedious family court process with a favorable outcome as a result. Michael truly cared and went above and beyond to ensure my case was handled properly. I would recommend him if you need an attorney for any family court matters.

Throughout my divorce process Michael showed the type of knowledge base and work ethic that was needed to protect my interests from an aggressive Plaintiff. He showed great ability in determining what was emotion and what was plausible fact on both sides to allow the process to settle prior to trial. For anyone facing the uncertainty of divorce Michael with Greater Orlando Family Law is your guy; One meeting and you will agree.

As my attorney in an abuse protection and divorce case, Michael’s services, counsel and results were outstanding. He refiled with the court multiple requests over the period of 8 months for continuance of my protection order to be sure of my legal safety during the divorce proceedings. Michael, along with others, highly recommended I change the locks to the house, get cameras out front and back, and have an exit plan. In addition, Michael has a very steady and insightful personally that listened to my gripes and wishes, particularly about the deliberate delays my husband was pursuing to avoid a divorce. He consistently worked with opposing counsel to expedite their delivery of court paperwork, and even had to develop a “motion to compel” with the court to get my husband to complete the financial documents required. Michael also helped me strategize divorce settlement options, giving me pros and cons, so we could land on a beneficial but reasonable offer to present my husband and his attorney. I was favoring one approach and he offered an alternate one that might save me time and money that I had never originally thought of. Even when it came time for a mediation session, Michael drove me to and from his office so I would avoid running into my husband during the session, as we were in separate rooms due to the protection no-contact order. He is a sensitive but focused professional, a trait that helped in my emotional situations during the mediation when opposing attorney learned my husband had omitted to tell him about critical abuse instances of the case. Michael did get me close to an agreeable divorce settlement beyond what either of us suspected would be accepted. However, the divorce did not progress due to my husband’s death. I highly recommend Michael for his professionalism, knowledge, experience and humanity as he helped move me along through a frustrating and emotional process.

AWESOME!!!!!!! I have nothing but the best to say about Mr vaghaiwalla and his firm!!! Through Mr Vaghaiwalla and his firm I have absolutely nothing that can explain how phenomenal they are!!!!! First off I am a single dad with full custody of my two amazing young children and for that I owe everything to Mr Vaghaiwalla and firm! Not to leave out Liz Santiago whom with her help I learned how to use a computer !!! The firm gave a father a new perspective on what I considered to be a joke of a legal system and shed new light on how, when done properly, that the truth and best judgement will prevail and prevail it did!!! I paid for multiple consultations from other attorneys and am so fortunate that I took the time to find the right one for myself and my children! Once I spoke with Michael I felt that good feeling and he did not approach my situation as every other attorney did and for that I chose to hire him! The best decision I have ever made hands down! Thank you Mr Vaghaiwalla and you too Liz as for you have given my children nothing but the best future ever! You have really changed our lives for the better!! For that I am forever grateful !!!
