I usually don’t engage with social media reviews but I felt compelled to share my experience with Mark Michelsen. He has represented me and my family in several minor & a few more complex challenges. He has always done an exceptional job with a huge dose of heart and compassion. He listens and is able to represent the emotions of our concerns within the appropriate and often confusing constraints of the law. I am grateful and feel so fortunate to have engaged with such an incredible attorney. He truly delivers!

Andrea Stiles is the best divorce attorney you can find: she will walk you through the entire process and makes it easy to understand exactly what to expect during a stressful time. She is exceptionally professional and responds immediately to inquiries and I would highly recommend that you not go to anyone else if you want the best outcome to your divorce.

I have had the pleasure of representation by Mark Michelson in divorce and child custody hearings for the past seven years and I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. I initially came to Mark completely broken and scared. I knew a divorce was in my future and I was terribly sad and feared my children and I would be homeless. Mark eased my fears from the moment he introduced himself and assured me we would be OK. He helped me maneuver uncomfortable situations by roll playing with me - often turning my tears to uncontrollable laughter. Not only did this prepare me, but it put everything in perspective. For this and so much I am grateful. From the first day we met to today, I knew I could reach out to Mark at any time and he would be there for me. Mark has always been available to answer questions (and there were many), give great advice, and represent me on many occasions in court - all with positive outcomes. In fact, I have witnessed several judges compliment him in court. It certainly doesn't hurt your case when the judges like your attorney! He is not only my attorney but I now consider him a true friend. He really cares about his clients. This is obvious. Not only in regards to his representation but in regards to my well-being and that of my family, Mark takes time to check in with me, send congratulations on personal accomplishments and provide condolences when some very sad things happened in my family. Do yourself a favor. If you need representation for a divorce or for child custody issues, hire Mark Michelson. I am so glad I did!

My experience with Andrea Stiles was excellent. She was informative, helpful, upbeat, made the process go smoothly and always available to respond to my concerns. She handled everything in a professional way that could not have gone better.

I was scared going into the unknown of divorce process that I would lose everything and it would cost a fortune. Mark Michelsen is not only a great guy but an experienced deal maker that is extremely well connected and well thought of. He created a prudent strategy for my situation and then played it like an ace. He was realistic, did not "run the meter" and actually cared. RG

I only gave this firm a 1 because there is no 0 stars! Our lawyer was NOT prepared with our case at all. He didn't subpoena records, reference his notes (that we could see) and only based his support on 1 small shred of information. The amount of pain and agony caused by the failure to protect a person is insurmountable. I CANNOT recommend this firm to anyone! You are better off going to a rent-a-lawyer than to waste your money here.

Andrea Stiles has been a true blessing throughout a difficult and contentious divorce. She responded quickly when questions arose and handled the complicated legal process with skill and precision. She is incredibly talented and posesses wisdom beyond her years. She was a true source of strength when I needed it most, for which I will be eternally grateful!

Andrea Stiles is easy to work with, but is no-nonsense. She is unbelievably quick and mentally agile, frequently knowing my case better than I do because she remembers the facts forever, long after I forget them. She defines the word competent because she both has an outstanding mastery of procedural law, and never lets a single task go unattended. I have been so relaxed throughout my legal ordeals knowing she'd never drop a stitch, and always handle things right.

Andrea was my attorney during the collaborative process of my divorce. She did educate me as to how to navigate our complicated finances and achieved a fair settlement without going to court. Few lawyers have her knowledge and even fewer would have put in the time and energy she put in on my case. I would recommend her to anyone.

Andrea is excellent in her field! Makes you feel very comfrontable right from the start. Her knowledge of the law is 2nd to none. There is a reason why she has been voted top Lawyer in Richmond for years. I highly recommend Andrea to everyone!

Matt Long successfully worked on a dispute with my former landlord and saved me hundreds of dollars. He is very knowledgeable and great to work with. I highly recommend him and the Bowen Ten Cardani law firm.
