I’m Kai... This Review is about Michael Schlifka and Lisa Jackson, both who ended up being heaven sent angels in my life! Michael and Lisa are two of the most supportive, heart felt, hard working, determined, people I’ve ever met.. Im blessed Michael was my divorce attorney, and that Lisa was the paralegal over my divorce case.. They were an AWESOME team over my case, my divorce was everything BUT pretty. My ex wife and I have 2 kids together, my ex demanded the divorce but was being very difficult with the kids. It had even got to the point where I was set up by my ex, and my character was assassinated by my ex. To try to obtain full custody of the kids.
Through it ALL Michael stayed by my side, and fought for me and my kids diligently and affectively. Michaels sense of compassion but ability to be firm when need be is on point! Michael really knows his stuff, and fought for me tooth and nail! He did not give up on me or my case, he showed up to every court date, every hearing, and fought so hard for me. Sometimes I sit back, and thank god for bringing Michael and Lisa into my life. And putting Michael as my attorney over my divorce.. When I began my divorce, I knew nothing about divorce. Was highly hurt and emotional. Heartbroken is an understatement..
I googled divorce attorneys, not knowing where to start. I came across Meriwether and Tharpe, got put in touch with Michael Schlifka. And the rest is history.. Michael always kept my kids and I best interest in mind, and never gave up on my case. My divorce was LONG and drawn out, but he stayed by my side. He answered every email every phone call, and was highly effective. In the end of my case, due to Michael’s drive and will not to give up. My divorce worked out perfectly, everything went how I wanted! I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney!.. Lisa Jackson is a very determined hard working paralegal! Lisa was there every step of the way also, she never gave up on me either. Lisa is very professional, very heart felt, and very supportive also. Lisa’s communication is ON POINT!
She kept me updated on everything, and any information I needed to submit. She was always sure to let me know, she reached out when need be by phone call or email anytime I needed to know anything. Lisa has a spirit of gold! Lisa was also heaven sent to me!.. Any questions or concerns I had, Lisa was right there to make sure she answered them. She did and awesome job, at keeping all of my case information in order. Also being sure that everything was submitted and on point, Lisa is just as hard working as Michael. I’m blessed that Michael and Lisa are hard working, determined, caring, and persistent people. They were a GREAT legal team over my divorce case. My divorce was long, drawn out, and ugly..
BUT thanks to Michael and Lisa, my case ended the right way. I am more than thrilled with the outcome, they both worked hard and diligently to be sure my outcome was the best. I am forever grateful, and blessed for Michael Schlifka and Lisa Jackson!

Michael was kind and compassionate about my terrible situation. My divorce was very unpleasant. He worked with me (and my ex-husband) to get to a very specific parenting plan and next 8 or 9 years plan. We agreed to co-parent 50/50 and maintain the "homestead" 50/50 until the last child graduates but MAN it was hard to get to that point. All the anger - he worked with me and often times I took out my anger on he and his team of paralegals (who were all wonderful!). He never had any anger back, mostly just some humor. He understood me. He took time to understand the unreasonable situation I was in and worked hard to get a great settlement. We didn't even have to go to court! Thanks so much Michael Schlifka!

Michael represented me (defendant) in child support modification case. I was and continue to be impressed by his knowledge, willingness to teach me about child custody and support laws, and his compassion to fight for the well being of my children. The high quality of service I received extended beyond to the entire MW&T team working diligently on my case.

I couldn't have gotten better representation than with Michael Schlifka! My divorce process lasted for a little over a year and Michael was there every step of the way; vehemently representing me, guiding me and keeping me calm. In the end, things worked in my favor and I received everything I wanted. It wouldn't have been possible without Michael.

Mr. Michael Schlikfa and his team are exceptional and are clearly experts in the field of Family law. His Paralegal, Lisa Jackson is a highly seasoned and efficient professional, who treated me with dignity and respect. I hired Mr. Schlifka to represent me in my divorce. I was very apprehensive about divorcing my spouse because of his influential position and affiliation with the government. I could not have imagined finding a more capable and experienced attorney who would adequately represent me without bias due to my spouse’s status, but I did. After my phone consultation with Mr. Schlifka, all my concerns and apprehension were alleviated. Upon meeting him, I became instantly aware of his expertise and commitment to representing his clients. One of Attorney Schlifka’s outstanding qualities is his diligence and insistence when representing me. I have witnessed him navigate arduous matters with opposing counsel in a professional manner and always get results. This divorce was distressing and negotiating certain matters were very difficult but Mr. Schlifka's fortitude was constant. He has handled highly sensitive issues and patiently worked towards a proper resolution. His timeliness and responsiveness are impeccable, and I have never experienced an unacceptable delay to my requests. From the billing department to the receptionist who greeted me, this firm has treated me with respect and kindness. Mr. Schlifka was no different. I highly recommend Attorney Michael Schlifka without reservation. He is a qualified and capable attorney, who is committed to his clients and consistent in getting results to the very end.

I have a very difficult/complicated divorce case, and have felt confident in Michael's abilities the whole way through. Michael is excellent at following through on details, keeping me informed, making sure I understand the ins and outs of my case, and getting things done. He has helped get positive outcomes for me in a situation where it seemed nothing positive could happen. His many years of legal experience is obvious and appreciated.

LOVED working with Michael and Lisa. Michael is very knowledgeable and compassionate. He and Lisa work so well together and they are on top of everything. Through the worst time of my life, Michael and Lisa were wonderful. I felt confident in Michael's ability as my attorney and he described the entire process in great detail and ensured that I was educated and well cared for during the entire process. I would highly recommend Michael (and have) to anyone getting divorced.

I had a very difficult divorce case, my now Ex-wife was citizen of another country so there were multiple road blocks and obstacles we faced. Michael was always patient and kept my needs and interests first and represented me well.

Michael was able to deal with my specific divorce and subsequent custody dispute in a manner that proved successful to date. He was able to provide solutions in a highly emotional and high conflict environment that a different attorney may not have been able to. Very cool under pressure.

Michael did an excellent job representing me through the toughest period of my life. His legal expertise was top notch, but his way of guiding me through it in a sensitive way made hiring him one of the best decisions I've made.
