Michael was tasked with handling my rather difficult divorce. There were days that I thought it would never happen and we would have to go to family court, but Michael was professional and patient the entire time. His knowledge of the divorce process made things much easier and less stressful. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

Michael did a fantastic job with my collaborative divorce that ended up being complex and took a lot longer than either of us expected. Even though it was more than we had expected, he never gave less of his time. With his years of expertise, he always had helpful suggestions and was very aware of how to move forward to save on costs. It was very evident that Michael genuinely cares about his clients and is very patient with his time and making sure things are understood after a call or meeting. I also had Michael assist me with my Trust and I highly recommend this service to everyone…

My family and I had an excellent experience working with Michael and Crystal on our trust, wills, and other estate planning documents. From start to finish, they were incredibly kind, patient, and responsive to every question and concern we had. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but they took the time to explain everything clearly and made the entire process smooth and stress-free…

We were so grateful to help your family with such an important part of protecting what matters most and putting a great plan in place.

Crystal and I truly enjoyed getting to know you and Patti, while you were getting ready to welcome your daughter into the world…

Mike and Crystal did an excellent job in creating a trust for my wife and me. Mike was diligent in getting to understand our wishes before drawing up the document. He was very patient in answering the many questions we had about it. I felt he had our best interests at heart throughout the process. I would highly recommend him for your estate planning needs.

I worked with Michael recently regarding a complex family law issue and his knowledge, guidance, and his demeanor brought calm and comfort in a time of great distress. Michael was very good at listening and being patient when going through the complexities and the naunce of my situation. He made me feel completely heard. His suggestions were clear, concise, thorough and had the family’s best interest in mind. He answered any and all questions until I was comfortable. I would highly recommend working Michael in any capacity.

If there's anyway that we can help moving forward, please do not hesitate to reach out and we wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best!
