Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them.

I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line.

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

The Rathel Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

I got arrested and this was the third lawyer I called. He answered his cell phone at 8pm on a Saturday night. I was able to have a phone meeting with him explaining what I had got arrested for (DUI) and that it was my first time ever getting arrested. He explained everything to me and gave me his fee over the phone. The fee was reasonable so I went in for a free consultation. I hired him and he did a great job. The staff was also very helpful but not as nice as the lawyer. This is the guy to go to if you did something stupid. It also helped that they took payment plans so that I was actually able to hire him. The only thing I would say that is negative was the fact that my girlfriend was not allowed to call and get information from the lawyers office. They told me it was for security reasons and did not want to reveal anything that was personal or confidential so this pissed off my girlfriend who was helping me pay.

I called from out of state. Mr . Rathel was great at answering questions and getting back to me. Many lawyers would not even return my calls. He was honest and did not take advantage of the Situation that i was out of state. He never asked for a fee for his time. He really cares for his clients. I would recommend him to everyone! Not many guys like this left Thank you.

I hired Mr. Rathel to handle my case (criminal case) and he did a great job at trial. I was found not guilty. He explained the risk to me and I made the decision to risk going to trial. At trial Mr. Rathel handled himself well and I was found not guity.

I went to Michael Rathel after I fired my first lawyer and he and his staff were very helpful. They were able to help me and were very knowlegeable of what needed to be done. The staff was also very helpful and responsive.

After choosing my exwife as my partner choosing him as my lawyer was the worst mistake of my life. I hired Michael Rathel. Flat rate for filing, flat rate for my exwife to respond. Total $7500. This was a long distance divorce and a case of parenting alienation. After I filed for divorce it took me more than 9 months to see my child. And more than a year to have him visiting me in my home town. He sent an associate to my deposition, another to my mediation and after he made me travel to Florida one day before the trial to meet with him to explain my case he cancelled the meeting. So he went to the court during the trial date unprepared and probably without even knowing my name. The opposing attorney aware of my attorney’s incompetence and disregard for the case took advantage of me. They were able to frame the alienation as abandonment. I am still paying the other lawyer attorney fees because he was not able to defend even that. (So I am paying more than I paid Mr. Rathel) My exwife violated the parenting plan claiming my child when it was not her turn in the taxes and his answer was go and see what you can do with the IRS. The child support was completely miscalculated. Multiple times I asked for the explanation on how it was computed. He never provide me with that information. He gave me all the other documents late too. I would know for example that my exwife had won the case because she was bragging about making me pay her attorney fees before my attorney had sent me the judge resolution. I received my final judgement roughly 3 weeks after it was given to him and it took me a week to get contact with him. It was too late to file an appeal. I went with another lawyer and computed the child support. He is impressed by the result of my case. My child support calculations include day care for a child that goes to school, my exwife’s but not my retirement mandatory fees are included, zero overnights for me (though he spends more than 80 nights a year with me). My exwife was able to modify the parenting plan as she wished because Mr Rathel would not contact me for the hearings. So he would probably just concede. I lost days with my son because she went to court ans ask for those days and he probably just conceded. Additionally, despite me providing him with all the checks of the money I had given to my exwife, the judge did not consider them because. I assume, Mr. Rathel, did not show them. So I have to pay inflated retroactive child support twice. He never answer calls. Now I need to hire another lawyer to solve whatever can be solved from the mess MR Rathel created in my life for his lack of professionalism. I am suspicious that he may have received money from the opposing side in order to screw me.

Divorce is never easy and not many of us are pleased with the outcome, but that is not always the attorney's fault. Mike represented me in a divorce and he was incredibly patient, responded quickly and assisted me at all hours, if necessary. On occasion, taking time from his family, Mike calmed me down early on and assured me that his experience would get me to the finish line. I was very impressed and thankful for Mike and his Staff that I will recommend him throughout Orlando. I know most people like to complain in reviews, more should write about the hard work and sacrifice that Mike makes for his clients. He did get me to the finish line and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks Mike!

Mr. Rathel helped me through 2 different cases. He got the first one dismissed and the other he did his best with what he had. He worked with me on payments and made it as easy as it could be according to the situation. Would def. recommend him!
