Michael was recommended by a friend of the family for a divorce case. He might be good for other types of law but definitely not for divorce. He passed almost all of the work to his sister and only showed up to court. Instead of being offensive, his approach was to be defensive. For over a year he represented me & did absolutely nothing for me or my case. One day we had a hearing; he decided that he shouldn't bother to go & told me not to go either. Thank God I went anyways & stopped my ex's lawyer from pushing the case back even further. Even before that day I was planning on firing him. Once he heard that I had gone to court & spoken up with the judge he sent an email telling me that since I don't need him he wants out from the case. What a joke! I believe his goal is to only stretch the case to charge the client as much as he can. Hired another lawyer who helped settle the case in 4 months. Definitely DON'T hire this guy for a divorce case.
