My spouse hired a high-powered "celebrity" attorney and was planning on putting me "through the ringer" and was planning to take our child out of state with the man she was having an affair with. Mr. Fort stood toe-to -toe with her council and was able to get me everything I asked for. He is very knowledgeable and understands the law and formulates an amazing strategy. Thanks to him I have 50/50 custody without having to concede any other demands. He and Misti (paralegal) are strong communicators who will answer very promptly (always within an hour) with concrete advice. Obviously each case is different but if you are totally 100% open and honest, Mike will fight for you. I would recommend Mike to anyone who is in need of a top-notch lawyer.

Mike is level headed, intelligent, driven, confident and well respected among his colleagues. He is tenacious, ethical, insightful and is hands down the best attorney in Williamson county.

It is just because of his agility and promptness that I could get my child back to TN after mother left to another state with the child and placed false charges. Young and attentive to details. Always grateful for his help and recommend anyone.

Mike was able to guide me a through a lengthy and tedious process, instilling in me realistic expectations. He thoroughly prepared me for every aspect of the case. I would recommend him highly for your divorce or family law needs.

I went through a terrible divorce a few years ago, and ended up settling on anything and everything just to get it over with. Unfortunately, because of the settlement, I ended up in court a couple more times since the divorce. I was never happy with any of my attorney's until I finally hired Michael Fort. He was able to articulate the terms of the new settlement that was easily understood and fair to all parties. I wish I would have found him as my initial Lawyer. He did a great job! I would recommended his services to anyone needing a good lawyer.

Mr Forts expertise and due diligence allowed me to obtain full custody of my daughter. Very professional and impressive in and out of the courtroom. Extremely organized and on top of every situation expected or unexpected. Young attorney who took on a very seasoned and well known attorney in Rutherford county. Never flinched and very confident. Forever grateful .

I am very impressed with this young and very talented attorney. Picked anomalously from yellow pages, I found out first hand, the tons of integrity, honesty and a just plain willingness to do the right thing. In my opinion, one hell of an attorney.
