About

My specialty is family law, and my approach is focused on helping clients navigate the complex and emotional experience of famiy law issues including divorce, determining parenting time, child custody and support, dividing property and deciding alimony.  My goal is always the best possible outcome given my client's objectives.    i also seek to minimize the negative emotional and economic impact of the divorce process on children within the family system.  (Studies have shown that children in high conflict divorces do not do as well later in life, as the children in low conflict divorces.)   While I am a fierce advocate for my clients, I never deliberately fan the flames of conflict and anger that may hinder the process of resolving the case or that eventually have a harmful affect on the children.I guide my cients through every step of the divorce process, from filing the initial petition, preparing for and attending mediation,  participating in settlement conferences and if necessary, preparing for trial.  While most of my cases settle out of court, I have the experience to manage your case through a fuill blown divorce trial.  My trial experience in divorce, includes establishment of child custody and parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance/alimony, and the division of marital property.  I have also litigated modification of child custody and parenting time for marital and non-marital children, modification of child support, enforcement of orders for spousal maintenance and child support, grand parent custody and visitation, orders for protection and harassment restraining orders.    Prior to becoming an attorney,  owned a small business, and I draw on that experience to negotiate fair and equitable property settlements, parenting plans, and even prenuptial agreements that help protect the rights and assets of soon to become newlyweds.

I’ve been in the court system for around 3 years now and Michael has been my lawyer through it all. He’s taken care my struggles to get parenting time, helped with getting me a break in child support due to my circumstances, and the most important part he got me an evidentiary hearing. Michael is very experienced and will fight for you in court. I just finished my last hearing for establishing a change in custody due to meeting a threshold and Michael was fantastic in the court room and due to his diligence on my case he was able to get me an evidentiary hearing. I’ve tried other lawyers before Michael and I will tell you that if you want to be represented correctly you need to call him as soon as possible. I can’t thank Michael enough for everything he was able to do as I was not able to see my son for years before he got involved. Please learn from my mistakes and hire him instead of wasting thousands of dollars on other lawyers!

My Fiancé and I had just split up. I was already heartbroken and then, WHAM! I was served an Order for Protection. It was full of false accusations, but, I was scared. I was embarrassed. I was worried about what people would think, and worst of all, I had no idea what to do. So, I got ahold of Michael Fink. We went to court and wewon. OFP lifted, case dismissed. I'd recommend him to someone based on that alone. However, and I think this is more important than his court room performance, Michael Fink was there for me when I needed support and guidance. I was going through the worst period of my life. I was stressed out. I couldn't sleep. I was an absolute wreck. But, there was Michael Fink inspiring confidence, imparting wisdom, and reassuring me. He was in my corner throughout the whole ordeal. He took my side and he fought for me. He is exactly the person you want on your corner- in and out of the court room, he knows exactly what to say.

Mike is an intelligent, kind, attentive attorney. He understands the emotions behind divorce without capitalizing off them. He thoroughly explained the divorce process and guided me through the proceedings. I highly recommend Mike.

Michael is knowledgeable about all aspects of family law and knows the system. Most importantly, Michael is completely current on statutory and case law. At one point, the opposing party's attorney cited a family law statute that was replaced by a different statute 15 years ago. I was actually embarrassed for the other party and I was so glad Michael was my attorney.

I was falsely charged with an OFP case by my spouse. I hired Mr. Fink on short notice. He was professional, had a full grasp of the law and represented me with substance and integrity. The OFP was dismissed and we prevailed. Good Job!

Michael, & his firm did a great gob representing me during a recent OFP proceeding. My wife surprised the heck out of me by filing the order of protection. There was nothing to support her case & the truth was on our side. With great prep & gathering of the facts & presenting them to the court, it resulted in the OFP being dismissed. It felt like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders as we walked out of court together. Unfortunately my wife has since filed for divorce & I have retained Michael to continue representing me during the proceedings. I an encouraged by his firm's track record & hope for the best. If you are looking for a Lawyer & firm to fight for you this is it!

Michael Fink was my steady guide through the entire emotional process of divorce. He listened well and interpreted the legalese for me with patience and clarity. Mr. Fink kept my best long-term interests paramount in his strategy and I will be forever grateful for his excellent work on my behalf.

Michael Fink was responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable. My case took over a year, but Michael kept me informed and was available to answer questions when needed.

Michael Fink helped me with my divorce. he did a great job. from the moment i sat down with him he gave me confidence in my choice i made to get a lawyer. everyone has their ways how they would like things to go but not always are they the right actions. Michael Fink showed me every out come of how a situation would go down if i chose to walk the road i wanted to walk. he didn't hold me back from my choices but in turn he provided me a clear thought of how to do things in a right legal way.Michael Fink provides a comfortable environment. always friendly and respectful. Even when he was neck deep in paper work he still finds time to get a hold of you for what ever question you had. i honestly didnt want to get a lawyer but after looking around an making a few phone calls an running into Michael i was happy i found him. our divorce went very well. we only had to go 1 time into court. He promised me a smooth divorce for my situation an smooth is how it went. once i provided him information on what he needed he was set an we closed the deal smoothly. thank you Michael.
