Conversation started off nice, but he got very rude with me out of nowhere when I informed him that I was calling for advice after he told me about his price. This is my first time having to deal with something like this and to be talked to the way I was just talked to this morning is beyond degrading and disrespectful. Definitely don’t call in the morning if you are going to use his services!
Owner response
Perhaps the review could have said "When I called looking for advise, Mike spent 15 minutes on the phone with me talking about my case." Sometimes you just can't do enough and when people don't like your answers they become argumentative and disrespectful and then leave a bad review.

If you're looking for a family law attorney who not only fights fiercely for you but also provides unwavering support, look no further than Michael and his incredible assistant, Nicole. They have been by my family’s side for many years, guiding us through some of the most challenging and volatile times with unmatched professionalism and compassion.
Michael's expertise and dedication are unparalleled. He approached my case with a meticulous attention to detail, ensuring no stone was left unturned. Nicole, his right hand, is a powerhouse of efficiency and kindness, always making you feel like a priority, no matter how busy things get. Together, they create a dynamic team that not only advocates for their clients but also genuinely cares about their well-being.
What truly sets them apart is their ability to balance the seriousness of family law with moments of levity that remind you things will be okay. In the most stressful situations.
If you're looking for an experienced team that will stand by you, fight for you, and make you feel seen and heard every step of the way. You've found it! I’m grateful for their continued support in 2025

Saw him on Google 2019, Saw best reviews Hired him for a flat fee.
He never even discussed my case ever with me, But represented me in the Monroe County Family Court.
Neither talked to my immigration lawyer for once,When he was trying to reach him day & night.
It was nightmare. Then I figured the Google reviews & how that works.
BTW This is coming from Local guide. Not for gift card

Anyone who has ever retained me can attest to the blatant falsehoods.

I hired this firm for a child support adjustment case. Michael was professional and extremely proficient in the laws surrounding child support and was able to get me exactly what I was entitled to receive by NYS standards. His rates were competitive for the area, and I would recommend using him for any of your family court needs!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
I originally got Michaels name from a Facebook group where mom's had gone on and stated that they were looking for a lawyer. He was recommended more than once in more than one post and for this reason I gave his information to my best friend who was in need of an attorney for a divorce that she was about to go through and he was great for her.
Who knew a year later that my husband and I would be needing his services as well.
We were served the day after Christmas 2025 (on a Friday) with papers by my husbands ex-wife. We called Michael the following Monday and he met us in the office that week in between holidays. He was even available on the phone on New Years Eve when my husbands ex tried to call the cops on him.
As of yesterday February 4, 2026 all is said and done. Thanks to Michael for making it so swift.
Michael always stays on point when in the court room and never says more than needs to be said.
Even the judge made a comment that we were represented by an excellent attorney.
If you want an attorney who is going to fight for you and your family this is the one that you want to call!
