Michael was hired to help with a case involving two cross-border jurisdictions. An amount of undue stress, frustration and mental/financial cost was unfortunately beyond normal, largely due to us having to deal with an extremely dishonest opposing side, whose counsel (a gentleman named Gaurav Bali) in a counter motion was close to facing the judge and get sanctioned due to his unethical/illegal actions on this case (which included them faking the evidence, as well as illegally subpoenaing my former employers and financial institutions). Amidst all of this, Michael was the one who actually helped manage this mess, providing much needed clarity and guidance as to what to do and how to sanction them. I plan on further retaining (and working with) Michael going forward, and highly recommend him as a person/professional with the highest standard of integrity.

I hired Mr. Strebe for a very complicated divorce and custody case. I was amazed by his availability and responsiveness. When really needed, he would even help on the weekend. His experience with family law is extensive. He always put my interests over his, which included optimizing the work to save on attorney fees even if he made lesser money in the process. His understanding of how the other side may think is amazing. Highly recommended.

Mr. Strebe has been my very dedicated attorney for nearly four years through a long, complicated, difficult and still on-going divorce. So dedicated and confident in Mr. Strebe I followed him to his current practice where he is co-partner in his firm. He is very responsive to all facets of the divorce proceedings and I always feel supported by him. During our tenure together Mr. Strebe has been very successful in handling an extremely difficult ex-spouse. He has been especially successful in swiftly addressing myriad threats from the ex-spouse. Divorce is a very stressful process full of many emotions. Mr. Strebe calmly and quickly uses facts, laws and statues to counter any allegations from the opposing party. Mr. Strebe has worked successfully to lower my support obligations and ensure I have a fair custody schedule that protects my time with my children. I highly recommend Mr. Strebe should you ever find yourself in need of a strong, fair, committed divorce attorney.

I had a difficult situation where I was facing a large financial demand. I retained Michael to navigate the case and negotiate with the opposing party on my behalf. Michael's superb negotiation skills resulted in an almost total reduction of the demand, and at all times, he consulted me every step of the way and made sure that the course of action he charted was one I was comfortable with. Michael is a consummate professional. Michael provided excellent counsel and brought my matter to resolution quickly at a reasonable rate. It was exactly the outcome I wanted and I have Michael to thank for that.

Michael is knowledgeable and has been a tireless defender of my rights. He takes a personal interest in my children and their welfare, as well as my own, I would give him 6 stars if I could!

- But with the right attorney, you can persevere. The synopsis: I had hired my first lawyer through reference and it was not good. Upset and demoralized, a friend recommended Michael to me. To my surprise, I quickly received a response and was on the phone with Michael. It was a sign of his professionalism and things to come. In short time, Michael became an expert in my case and was able to fight for me and my child. The case itself was a long case, and was hard as a Dad on so many levels. But Michael was clear about what was going on. He was a good listener and offered sound legal advice. By the end of the journey, my child was allowed to stay with me. Michael's sensitivity to the case allowed for as smooth closure as I could have hoped for. I truly believe that Michael was the turning point in that life event. Since then, my family has settled and have begun this new chapter of life together. *I highly recommend Michael's legal services*

I found Michael Strebe to be an outstanding and highly skilled attorney. He was extremely supportive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and hearing and communicated to me all aspects of my case, keeping me fully informed at all times at reasonable rates, which I have found to be rare in my experience. I could not be happier with the outcome and I appreciated his openness, expertise and professionalism in handling all areas of my case. He is by far one of the most dedicated and hard working individuals that I have ever seen. Michael Strebe has my highest recommendation and if you're looking for an excellent, attorney that will get you the best results for your money you need not look any further than Michael.

Michael was a huge help to me with my case. He and his team were always available to answer any questions I had. They had me completely prepared for my case. I would highly recommend Michael and Cordell & Cordell to anyone.

Michael has been extremely diligent in his efforts to finally close a Divorce case for me that has been ongoing since 2012. He has been excellent at communication with me even when I am exasperated by this process. A far better attorney than I have had in the past and I wish I had him at the beginning of this divorce as opposed to the end. I would give him the highest mark possible.

Without getting into detail about my case, I'd just like to say that Michael dug me out of a pretty deep hole. His preparation, craft and determination enabled me to prevail. Thanks to him, my family and children can live a much better life.

Michael is an interesting blend of dry humor, and traditional common sense. You get a sense that he's been in the situation you're currently in hundreds of times, and can navigate you towards the best situation. In my case, Michael was unfortunately dealt a bad hand, as the lawyer prior to him made my case incredibly more difficult and expensive costing me thousands of dollars. Michael did what he could, getting fees taken off, and taking the case in a positive direction. I only wish he had been in charge the entire time.

I had 2 consults with Michael and several phone calls in between those 2 consults. He showed me the utmost competence, professionalism and compassion of any attorney I have ever met. It was clear that he was more interested than doing what's right for me than what might just be good for business. Even though I haven't retained him yet, his response time, knowledge and very clear and sound legal advice demonstrate to me that he is a rare gem in the legal community! Thank you Michael - you're truly befitting of your namesake Archangel Michael.
