I used Michael for my divorce. He came recommended to me by an attorney friend. I was very pleased with Michael's legal advice and follow-thru. He was pragmatic and professional in his work - not combative with my ex-wife. I would use him again if I ever need a family lawyer again.

I hired Michael to assist in my divorce, his vast knowledge in the law and sensible approach kept my case from going to litigation. Michael explained every step of the process to me in a way that I could understand and helped me and my ex reach a fair settlement agreement. I would 100% recommend!

Mr. Lodermeier was honest and helpful. He listened and wanted to make sure I was making a rash decision based on hurt feelings.

I hired Michael as my attorney for my divorce. Michael is prompt, intelligent, kind, and takes time to guide you through the entire process. His experience coupled with his compassion is exactly what you want when navigating such a confusing and emotional situation. I highly recommend him!

Michael was an excellent attorney and created the best case scenario for my daughter and I. Michael communicated extremely well during the entire process by phone & email. He was always clear on the goals and options that we had in front of us and I trusted his advice due to his open communication. If you are battling over custody or visitation, I can't emphasize enough that Michael will advocate for what is best for your children. He secured a GAL for my daughter and together they worked extremely hard to keep her safe. I have since referred several friends to him. Nobody wants to go through a divorce, but if you do, you want to have a trustworthy advocate on your side.

He was very helpful in getting divorce finalize in 7 months after I met him. Was able to help me get what is financially fair for me and the children. I recommended him to a friend who is going through a divorce but not happy with her lawyer. Michael helped me stand my ground when my ex was pressuring me to give him more of my retirement money.

Michael was extremely professional and helpful during my divorce. He made me feel confident with the proceedings and always kept me up to date during the process. Whenever I needed to contact him with a question or concern he was almost always available or would contact me back within a short amount of time.

Michael was very honest throughout the process including expectations, possible outcomes, options, costs, etc. He always responded quickly to emails and phone calls. Very approachable and explained things in laymen's terms.

Michael did a great job of being open and honest with how to proceed with a divorce. I did not feel rushed or pressured and he was very patient. Michael was clear on costs related to divorce and made sure I was (and continues to make sure that I am ) treated fairly. I have friends going through divorces and child custody hearings that are in thousands of dollars of debt and I'm so thankful to have had a lawyer that was accurate and to the point.

Michael and his team have been very diligent throughout every single step of the way. Focusing on the fact that hand and making sure fact of the matter are to the point. Him and his team are very thorough and honest and would recommend to anyone seeking assistance in the matter

Michael is an excellent attorney and I could not have asked for anyone better to represent me during a difficult time. He's smart, thorough, and professional.

Michael represented me in two specific cases regarding custody of my boys. The first case resulted in my winning custody from my ex wife, who later tried to file an emergency motion to regain custody and failed (the second case). I never felt like Michael was a "lawyer" when we talked. He was a consultant, a partner, explained his strategy every step of the way so we were on the same page. And he never forced his opinion on me. He laid out several ideas and spoke in detail of the advantages/ disadvantages of each approach. In the courtroom, he was strong and confident, without being egotistical. Michael was always made himself available to me. I knew he had a heavy case load in both instances, but I felt as though I was his *only* client and this was the *only* case he was working.
