McIntyre Law Office P.C. Kalamazoo Mi review signals at a glance

Michelle represented me some years ago against my childs mother who had tried to run off with my child. She got me full custody and it was all over within 90 days

The WORST experience I've ever had. I will be coming back to leave a breakdown of my experience once my new lawyer looks over the breakdown of cost. Just for an idea of her unethical business practices, I was NOT able to list or sell my home unless I used HER husband instead of my realtor that I was already committed to prior. She went from $5000.00 to needing another $3000 then asked for Another $5000 before I dismissed her from representing me. I will be back to share my full experience and honest opinion once my new lawyer looks over all of the cost & charges.

3 minutes ago Michelle's reaction was strange when opposing counsel reached out to her to verify her client's paystubs/source of income in a child support case. She became defensive and flat out refused. When Michelle realized that opposing counsel filed a subpoena to her client's employer(they were hiding two new employments and an increase in salary to rig the child support calculation to get more money), she then suddenly provided new paystubs from another job that matched the information uncovered from the subpoena previously filed. If you have nothing to hide as a lawyer, why would you refuse to verify your client's paystubs? Throughout the entire child support case, Michelle relayed 4 different health insurance premiums, and when asked to provide the documentation for verification, she stalled. Her uncooperative behavior during a simple child support calculation led opposing counsel to discover that her client was defrauding the opposing party, and therefore the court to get a higher child support amount than legally entitled to. The outrageous thing is Michelle's reaction during the process when confronted about the fact that the paystubs her client sent several times were fraudulent. There is one thing to defend a client, but refusing to verify documents provided in a discovery process for a legal matter looks sketchy for a lawyer. Responding to Michelle's comment : The point of my review was to highlight a serious lapse in ethical responsibility. Presenting undated paystubs during a child support case, which concealed a substantial income increase is simply fraudulent. I am not sure how this could be considered a compliment, but I believe it is important for others to be aware of these practices before hiring you a lawyer as they will get in serious legal troubles and damage their credibility or reputation. I also want to clarify that my review was not intended as a compliment(thinking otherwise would be a public direct statement of your own character), but rather to raise concern over a serious issue that occurred during a child support case. Specifically, the use of undated paystubs played a role in concealing a significant increase in the opposing party's income, something that came to light only after further legal proceedings. While I understand that attorneys advocate for their clients, I believe there is a line between advocacy and withholding information that could impact a fair outcome, especially in matters involving children. My goal in writing this review is to inform others of my experience so they can make fully informed decisions when choosing legal representation.
