Mike is an untrustworthy individual and makes false promises to attract business. He charged $15k, for a basic one-page document that his wife filled out during a phone call and filed with the court. He failed to provide monthly invoices per his retainer agreement. He ignored my request when asked for a copy of the petition he claimed he worked on and never filed with the court. His wife, Kris, who handles all his legal work and provides legal advice despite not being an attorney, made excuses for his absence and failed to relay messages. Mike could not justify billing at his rate ($500) there is no rate listed for his wife. When questioned and asked for a refund of the remainder of my retainer, he aggressively refused, claiming there was nothing left. His Wife filled out the one-page document and she filed it with the court, we never went to the courthouse for anything or filed anything else and yet he states nothing is left of my $15k retainer. I plan to take legal action against him. Do not hire Mike!!

I hired Michael Reilly to handle my divorce and custody case. I wished I saw his reviews before retaining him. He is a crook at best. He charged me $10,000 for bogus work he didn’t do. All he did the entire time was forward emails back and forth and no representation. I had to replied to all the emails to the opposing counsel and he charges $500 per email just to forward it for you. It is his job to respond to them and he doesn’t do his job and got nasty when he was called out on his unprofessional and bs. Consumer Beware!

He’s a crook! RUN as fast as you can! Must avoid his wife who answers the phone and gives legal advice that she has no business doing. Michael is not capable of doing anything for you! His incompetence and anger form a dangerous combination! AVOID HIM ANY WAY YOU CAN!

Michael did not do good job for me. After I hired another attorney I realized how truly bad he was.

Rude, obnoxious. Thinks he’s John gotta. Thinks he’s charming the judge, but comes off like a corn ball resulting in embarrassment his client.
Negligible and lack of care. Sloppy practice

Michael Reilly is one of the hardest working,talented,gifted and dedicated attorneys one can hire. He is absolutely tireless and amongst the most tenacious advocates imaginable. If you hire him,and are sober minded and serious, you will be amazed at what he and Christine bring to the table during your time of duress and uncertainty!
Do your part, give Mike the respect and preparation necessary for him to absolutely represent your case in the light most favorable to your desired relief, and I can assure you as a satisfied client that you won't be disappointed!

I have known Mike for many years, I work for the courts. I am trying to show you another side of the system that you may not think about when you hire an attorney and, is quite important. We see a lot of attorneys. Mike is one of the greats. He really cares about his clients and somehow always makes you feel like everything is under control. A true gentleman with resolute litigation skills. His paperwork is always timely and always impeccable. I have heard from people that have used him and they all say the same thing, they are impressed with his attentiveness and commitment. These are the qualities that I would want in an attorney.

I was referred to Michael by my brother's co-worker in the court system. I used him twice, once for a divorce and the other for a new prenuptial agreement. His firm did an excellent job and was professional, understanding and prompt. Michael is very proud of his work.

I was referred to Michael by a friend and had used him not once but twice for two separate occasions. Once for a divorce and once for a financial situation. His firm did an excellent job and was extremely professional and caring. This guy is the man!!!

I have had matrimonial, real estate and business transactions with Michael Reilly as opposing attorneys. I must say he treated as a colleague rather than an adversary. He was prompt in court, cordial to both me and my clients and very professional in his demeanor and conduct.

I met Mr. Reilly by referral and I am grateful to have found him. As a person new to "the whole divorce process," he quickly abated all of my fears, and always filled me with a sense of empowerment. Being previously disabled, he created alternative ways for us to meet thereby minimizing my physical discomfort. Someone from his office is always available if needed 24/7. He is a courteous, supportive, and understanding person and is meticulous in all areas of his life. It is apparent that he truly loves his job and as it turns out, he is an extremely tenacious and thorough litigator. Throughout my divorce proceedings, my ex-husband and his counsel tried to postpone, ignore and avoid all of our requests for many months. Mr. Reilly did a wonderful job in maintaining persistence while preserving my rights within the law. He is very knowledgeable in his field, and will not let his opponent get away with any wrong-doing. Even though my divorce ultimately ended with the use of an arbitrator, no longer requiring his assistance, I would not hesitate retaining his services in the future! You cannot go wrong with this man as "lose" is not in his vocabulary!!

I had hired Michael for my case in family court and my case was most difficult case than many many others, and mike always smile and look into my face giving me the confidence that I need in time of apprehension. Mike won all my case for me and he even got child support money for me in the amount of $30,000 but it not about the money I said these words honestly, keep reading and you will understand time and space will not allow me to give anyone who read this to really know about Mike.
He is the MAN he talks with power and confidence and assure he will win all you case. He is serious, and work Notoriously on your case,
I am a single parent FATHER of 3 kids and my ex wife fought for full custody of my children, the grandmother fought for full custody, and later in the case an uncle and aunt tried to claim for full custody, many abusive claims 3 ACS cases and child support.The children had their attorneys, and we ended up to the second highest court (THE APPELATE DIVISION) and many other attorneys Mike fought like a real LION against everyone and won sole legal and residential custody for me and my children.
after that he hugged me and told me "Shafeek I love you"
to all readers I can say a lot more but that's enough
I am a single parent father of three children and that's because of MIKE and His Assistant Chris.they are your family when you meet them and after your case.I dealt with many people but Mike as an attorney is a man of Big Heart,
you will never regret you take him.
I love Mike and Christine and they are always in my heart.
