Michael and his team went above and beyond for us. I couldn’t thank them enough for them helping my fiancé out with getting his child back into his life. Dads do have rights! They don’t stop fighting for you. They listen, they’re on top of everything. They reply without a timely manner. I cannot day enough to you guys for making him the happiest man in the world. Michaela and Crystal thank you thank you thank you.

I couldn't have asked for a better job from anyone. Michael did an excellent job preparing, understanding what the judge was looking for, presenting my case, and being on point in every aspect for my case. I have dealt with this judge previously with unfavorable outcomes, but this time Michael did a wonderful job trying to understand this judge and how to present the case. My confidence wasn't very high because of the way this judge has ruled in the past. Michael kept me positive and told me to trust him and I did. He got my daughter what she wanted and we couldn't me happier. Michael will dedicate his time to help you and will tell you straight forward what he expects. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone.

I consider myself lucky to have had McFarling Law Group/Michael Burton as my attorneys throughout my appeal process, in what can labeled as one of the most complex custody cases. My divorce/custody case has been very lengthy with a few former attorneys that disappointed me and at times were incompetent to defend my case. I was losing confidence in hiring any more law firms until I was referred to McFarling Law Group. In my intial meetings with Emily and Michael I could see that they were extremely knowledgeable regarding the exact steps that needed to take place. Once they took over my case, I could tell the difference of dedication to my case from our very first meeting. They felt my pain, told me what steps were needed, and advised me what the best moves were going into our appeal process. The McFarling Law Group stood strong in the courtroom and challenged everyone to defend my rights. Although we did not have the exact ending result we would have liked, they were still able to convince the judge of actions that are in my favor. Thanks to their great job, we made a huge advance in my case after giving up hope with past attorneys. The case is pretty much balanced again and we were able to get our judge to make a final decision that is as equal as can be for the time being, without having additional conflict. This final decision was because of this Law Groups efforts in presenting my wishes to her throughout our litigation. In addition, McFarling Law Group is very honest. I have always received great counsel and was presented with all potential outcomes so that I could be prepared and know how to move forward despite which decision we would receive. I was never promised a win in our hearings (as I was in the past) but made me rest assured that I was in good hands. Communication with this Law Firm is very easy! They use a legal software site that is extremely easy to navigate. It logs every aspect of your case (documents, hearing dates, emails, billing, and more). They are also very good at phone communication and have an amazing staff of highly knowledgeable paralegals ready and willing to help answer questions. McFarling Law Group's entire staff are very approachable to ask sudden questions, suggestions and guided me accordingly for my best outcome. I am so thankful for the brave defense and continuous arguments against the other party to prove them wrong, playing the right cards at the right time, and continuing to present everything very well said. I highly recommend the McFarling Law Group as efficient, knowledgeable and great attorneys (and staff). Ultimately, they have been great people that always make me feel confident and ease my mind regarding my case. Whatever I say may not be enough as a recommendation, but this is the least I can do. I would feel guilty not to recognize them as a powerful and successful Law Firm. If you are having a tough time deciding on the right Law Firm to handle your divorce/custody case or you are involved in a complicated situation this is the firm you want on your side! I will continue to use and recommend this firm for any future litigation.

From my very first meeting with Mike Burton, I knew I had a champion in my corner. Mike knows family law inside and out. Plus, he is battle tested in the courtroom in the event your case has to go all the way to court. Mike was extremely thorough in going over my case and reassured me that I would survive the experience intact (both financially and emotionally). In particular, Mike did a superb job in coaching me through the process of negotiating a satisfactory settlement with my wife. No divorce is easy, and in the end no one really wins. But Mike gave me confidence and peace of mind at a time when I needed it the most.

Michael and his team work non stop for my girls and their desire to move. They listened to my pleadings when no one else would. Now my girls are where they want to be. I would recommend Michael and his team to anyone looking for someone that has the best inters not only in you but your children as well.

Consulted with Mr.Burton and I was very impressed. Seemed much more honorable, aggressive and much more thoughtful, than my previous lawyer Danielle Dawson, who turned out to be phony and the most arrogant, passive aggressive actor, that had me hoodwinked. Mr. Burton is the real deal. I didn't hire him, because I can't afford to maintain $4,000, in the war chest or trust account as stipulated in the agreement. Basically, every month you have to bring the trust account up to $4,000. Even though Mr.Burton is very reasonable at 300 per hour, given his skill. if you can maintain the retainer. There's cookie cutter things that all lawyer's can do and that might be all you need. This lawyer isn't afraid to go outside of the box.

We hired Mike at McFarling law 2 times and both times he and the staff at McFarling have gone above and beyond ANY expectation we could ever have. They are friendly, helpful, hard working, and affordable. From the moment I called with way to many questions Mike was amazing and helped us every step of the way answered all questions. During the process of our 1st case everything was handled exceptionally and we got the results we wanted. Unfortunately few months later drama started again and there was NO ONE else we could think about hiring to handle this for us. Once again Mike and the staff at McFarling have gone above and beyond. They are delivering the same awesome service and results as before. I would never hesitate using them again if needed or recommending them to anyone looking for a great family law lawyer. Michael is amazing lawyer who means so much to our family. He is the reason we are together as family again.

I hired Michael Burton to represent me in my divorce case and wow what a great attorney he is. Michael and his staff listened to everything i had to say and addressed all of my concerns in my case. In court he was very professional and extremely strategic with the opposing counsel and the family court judge. Michael is an expert in custody matters and got me more than i asked for with respect to time with my son. I would highly recommend Michael Burton to represent anyone in a family court matter and also to listen closely what this man says because he will always have your best interest at heart.
