Michael Hawley creates an atmosphere of ill will where opposing family members never heal from his abrasive techniques. In our consultation Michael Hawley described the wall of protection he provides his clients. He wants everything to go through him and the opposing attorney, which racks up fees for both parties. The reason we did not hire him were his references. His aggressive style stops communication and stops the progress of cases. He recommends to ask and push for everything, and then you have a better chance of getting more. My mother's will gave my sister a specific ring and Michael Hawley said don't give it to her. Make her fight for it. We had other disputes, but that was not one of them. He did not respect the wishes of the deceased. It was my sister who I was having a disagreement with, but some areas of mother's will were very clear. My goal was to settle the disputed areas, not have a division so wide so that my sister & I never speak again. His references said, he created such hard feelings that the family never spoke again.

Michael Hawley represented me in a complicated family estate matter which had family members against family members. His counsel was straightforward and sincere and he helped me separate the facts from the emotion. In the end, he helped me overcome the hurdles and get what was rightfully mine. The second time I hired Michael was for an employment case. Again, he successfully represented me and was able to negotiate a much larger severance package than that which I had been offered. Highly recommended!

I hired Michael Hawley on two separate occasions for cases completely unrelated. The first, was a complicated case that had been botched by the first attorney I hired. I had a lot on the line and Hawley came through with flying colors. Not only did he win the case for me, but I was able to live my life without disruption while he handled everything. Again, Michael Hawley successfully handled every aspect of my second case while I continued on with my life. When it gets down to having to hire an attorney to settle a dispute, the process can be turbulent. Michael Hawley served as a wall between the turmoil and me while delivering wins on both occasions. If you are looking for an attorney who is competent and who will have your back, Michael Hawley should be your number one choice!

Don't even consider using this guy. He is technically a thief because he will charge you for everything, even if it is something that doesn't even relate to you. Power hungry, and abuses his power and position. Honestly, seemed relatively unintelligent for an attorney, and doesn't follow the contracts at all. I would avoid this guy at all costs, and everyone in his office. DONT USE THEM!!!!
