Just to give one example on his misrepresentation: we had a four-way meeting with opposing counsel, my husband, Michael, and myself where Michael was not prepared with any formulas to arrive to an agreement, which was the whole purpose of the meeting. He went off of the opposing counsel’s numbers, which were way off base and expected me to agree. I was so overwhelmed and felt blindsided that I had to leave the meeting.
It was a waste of billing hours and time. I was to be the Petitioner, but with his legal guidance, I was turned into the Respondent.
I truly believe he did not care about helping me, he just wanted to push me through the legalities and collect his money.
This form puts their own self interests above the interests of your family. They drag cases out and maximize litigation creating more billable hours so they can send their children to private school with the money you could be using to send your own children to college.
If I could have gave a zero star review I would have.
I highly recommend Michael and the firm.
Thank you once again on doing a great job. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and affordable!
They are a great firm and I highly recommend them.
Hands down five stars. If I could give 50 more stars I totally would. As long as you are doing your part to document the roller coaster ride on the crazy train then you will be alright if these two are in your corner!
I have nothing but positive recommendations for Michael. The billing was very fair, some items I thought were slightly overbilled. The only negative I could think of was there was times during communications either in person or over the phone I felt he was very rushed or I was a bothersome to them and felt as if I could not fully get my questions or concerns out. And when you pay the amount you do for an attorney you want to feel like you're the only client and feel reassured. But he managed to go above and beyond things I never thought of, which made up for it.
His staff ensured I had copies of everything I needed and were also very knowlegable. Unfortunatly I have had my fair share of attorney's in the past but my experience with Mike by far was the best!!
I went to Gary when I was quite desperate. I'd been divorced several years. My ex and I had prepared our divorce decree. I'd not sought legal council to advise me during the divorce. Huge mistake! Nothing had turned out as I'd expected. I presented to Gary the mess that my divorce had become. He said "Do you know how you bring down a huge elephant? One bite at a time". About a dozen petitions and several court appearances and almost a year later, almost all was cleared up. We worked together along with his staff Laurie and Yari and at times Michael and they've never been less than respectful, helpful and friendly.
I found his fee to be reasonable and still go to him for advice and help as things come up with my ex.
