"Matt focused on the problem and and what my goals were. I can't say everyone will get everything they want but with Matt it's possible. I really feel like we worked together as a team. I was able to give him a lot of personal information that helped us formulate a strategy accordingly. He also drafted my settlement agreement overnight! He knew she could change her mind in an instant but I was still shocked to find a draft in my email by 3 am. He's engineered his office to be really efficient. Everything felt like it had a schedule and a process and he just always knew exactly what he was doing. Most importantly all parties remained professional and with integrity and we worked it out amicably. Five starts is not enough!"

"[C]hoosing a divorce lawyer ... is a trying, and also critical decision. I spent about 1 year looking at different lawyers and asking around and came to the conclusion to partner with Matt Michaels, a decision I never regretted. Matt is a straightforward, no-nonsense type person. Matt will lead you through the possible steps and probable outcomes, well ahead of the actual divorce proceedings. Matt was professional, keeping me in constant communication through the whole process and assisting me through an extremely difficult divorce.... At every time she was ready with her lawyer to play a game, Matt was already prepared and experienced to handle the outcome and counteract. Matt filed all the of documentation, on time, and was never late to a meeting or a court appointment. Matt was available to me when I called or emailed, right away. In the end, Matt made sure that I was represented fairly and that I would get fair and equitable time with my children and retain an appropriate amount of my hard-earned assets. Now looking back 6 months later, I couldn't be more pleased. I am in my marital home with my children. Thank you, Matt, I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to your services." T.M. Brighton MI

'My wife and I reached out to Matt regarding a relatively simple legal matter that should have been easily resolved without a lawsuit. However we had to go down that route which continued to be drawn out due to an extremely irrational and difficult defendant. The case was finally settled to our satisfaction, and we could not speak more highly of Matt throughout the process. He was highly professional, dedicated, responsive, knowledgeable, and navigated our case to resolution skillfully. Matt is also an entertaining and great guy to talk to! We would highly recommend him for anyone's legal needs."
