Divorce
Going through a divorce for me was extremely difficult. Finding a lawyer took me longer than I anticipated. Mike was hands down the best lawyer I have hired. He took into account the emotional and financial toll the case had on me. He went above and beyond his job description to make this process manageable for me.
Mike had the kindness and decency to keep me updated and to check on me to see if I was okay. I'd highly recommend anyone to hire him.
