I have hired Michael to represent me on multiple occasions and every time I have found him to not only be knowledgeable and professional but kind and empathetic as well. He delivers results, and he also clearly cares about the people he represents. I trust Michael and as a result I highly recommend him.

Dont trust the fake positive reviews, he’s money hungry and a thief.

He would give you a good first impression, but as soon as you pay him he shows how much he doesn't care about your case. Lack of communication and unprofessional. Beware of the fake positive reviews from his staff and colleagues.

Michael is incredibly knowledgable and honest! Through his expertise, he was able to work my case better than I could have ever expected! It’s hard to find genuinely good people like him who stand by your side in a court of law, and I couldn’t think of anyone else I would trust more.

I have been a long time client of Michael Forbes. He has done a great job representing me. He is fair, honest and diligent. I would highly recommend attorney Forbes for any legal matters.

Unethical and a thief. Will take your money, will promise you that he dealt with your issue before and can guarantee result. As soon as you pay him, he will go quiet, then stop communicating without an answer and threaten to stop representing you if you keep contacting him. STAY AWAY. He will try to sweet talk you to paying without signing an agreement, then later claim money is nonrefundable and show you an agreement he never mentioned nor that you signed.

I am a previous client of Michael Forbes and was just looking him up to contact him again because I am $15 grand into my current lawyer and left desperate to get some legal advice from the only attorney I can say that I trust, even though it is not in his area of pratice. I happened to see this review and simply want to leave my personal experience and opinion of not only his handling of my case but on a personal level. I had contacted at least 50 attorneys to represent me and every single one hung up after I asked if they had any flexibility on the normally large retainer expected or alternative financial arrangements for payment. Most did not even listen to the outrageous events surrounding my case. I called Michaels office and spoke with Nancy, she was so kind and listened to me and genuinely cared about what I was saying. Nancy was fantastic and made me feel like she had nothing to do but listen to me, she told me Michael was busy and would have him call me back. Which he did, and he was a bit more quick on the phone, slightly less interested in the emotional parts that although, I felt the need to include, he knew they had no impact either way legally speaking. My case was by no means something to build a legal career on , or even add to a list of accolades for that matter - it was actually a miniscule little case in the grand scheme of thigs but he agreed to help me. So the screening process the last review suggest is not at all factual. He and I had numerous conversations over the 2 years he fought for me- ending with a resounding win- we butted heads sometimes over the phone because of his time constraints and slightly strong demeanor. With that said I try to be very understanding of the other persons view. I have come to realize how much he taught me over the course of all them phone calls, when I learned to listen that is.....lol. The fact you got a call back from any lawyer in a ten minute time frame should have been an indication of the caliber person he is. He is all about business and is looking to maximize his available time in order to serve his clients. To fault a lawyer for them characteristics is a mistake, trust me! So when calls and emails were not returned in a timely fashion - I would follow up and if still not returned - I would follow up again. No matter the rate of call or email exchange that I may have wanted , The fact is he always called, emailed when it was most important. I learned something that is a still a core part of how I live to this day. Most times offense is taken and not given. If you want a lawyer that has the time to talk at your every whim - your not looking for a good lawyer. You want a no nonsense, no time wasted, effective lawyer- then look no further.

Very happy with service and advice I got from Steve Potts about a PA will matter. I'm an out-of-state lawyer myself, so I know about the law business and what good client service entails. Steve answered my questions quickly, accurately and professionally. Strongly recommend him.

Kim was very professional, knew a lot about custody law and the result of hiring her was very fair. She explained everything to me as we went along. I am very surprised to see this negative response from one person. There must be more to it. I would hire Kim again because I trust she will do a great job.

Kim has been battling my divorce for over a year and a half, and has been nothing but professional and timely with everything that has gone on. This has been an ongoing process and Kim and Cathy have been excellent to deal with.

Kimberly handled a divorce for me and did not complete the job. She forgot to have me sign an affidavit. When I finally reached out to the court months later to find out the status of my divorce as I could not reach Kimberly after multiple attempts. The court clerk told me they reached out to Kim and never got a response, therefore my ex's signature had expired as it was only good for 90 days. I reached out to Kim multiple times with no reply. Finally she got back to me and blamed it on the court " losing the paperwork" . I told Kim how unacceptable this was and I never heard from her again. I sent several emails, phone calls, and voicemails and NEVER received a response. Kimberly is a crook. I plan to sue her in court to receive my money for the incomplete job. She seems very sweet but under no circumstances should she be trusted. She will leave you high and dry. Do yourself a favor and find someone else.

I have spent the greater part of a year dealing with one of the most complex and international estates. Marilyn Mitchell has been amazing. The extensive compassion, research and reliability during this extremely emotional and difficult time has been incredible. She has guided me with understanding and warmth coupled with her knowledge and professionalism that will never be forgotten. If your looking for a lawyer that will be in your corner during a difficult time in your life...this IS the firm for you
