Mike was personable and understanding during a difficult life transition yet tough enough to assist with actions needed for a favorable outcome for my family. He was attentive to my questions and made me feel at ease during the process. I would recommend Mike to others needing an experienced divorce and family law attorney.

I was referred to Michael Schilawski by a professional friend for consultation and subsequent representation in a divorce. Mr. Schilawski proved to be an excellent attorney, as well as his wonderful and kind staff.

Michael is exceptionally professional, articulate, deeply knowledgable, extremely experienced, incredibly attentive to details and documents, and highly respected (maybe even feared by his less capable court room equivalent peers). Yet he is very personable, respectful, honest, witty, and humble. He translates legalese and family law process in a way that layman can readily understand. Since my divorce I have met many divorced men online and offline. Hearing their experience with their lawyers, with the huge community of lawyers to chose from, I am so dxmn grateful that I luckily chose and hired the best Family Lawyer across all Wake County.

Mike was not only very knowledgeable about family law and the ins and outs of the procedures, but he was also extremely thoughtful during the process. I was not an easy client (I don't know that there are any "easy" family law cases) but he managed me very well. He considered my opinions and feelings, and he gently helped me see how the law applied and how the other side would contradict my assertions and opinions. In reality, he really stood up for me and for my position and helped me get to a great result. I and my child are thriving now and Mike was a huge part in helping us get there. Always remember that this is a process and I would not have anyone other than Mike and his team take me through, or walk with me, through this process. His paralegal is fantastic too. You will always get efficient, effective counsel and straightforward information. You will never be rushed.

I hired Mike Schilawski at Wake Family Law Group for my separation agreement several years ago and am in the process of using his services to complete a prenuptial agreement. As the title of this review says, Mike is pragmatic, professional, and committed to a fair agreement for me and my ex-wife, and subsequently my fiance. He has longstanding relationships with attorneys around the area and that helped us to get through some tough situations in the negotiations, keeping us on schedule and under budget. He has always been balanced in his advice taking care to make sure that any agreement would be win-win for both parties. And I have always found Mike to be of the utmost integrity in our dealings, something that was very important to me when seeking legal representation. I also had the pleasure of working with his paralegal, Dana Satterfield, and one of his associates, Justin Mauney. I strongly endorse Mike and Wake Family Law for any of your family law needs.
