1 /5 Erin Chin: I would not advise you to utilize his legal office. I recently contacted Michael regarding a legal matter, and unfortunately, my inquiry was met with disregard. Michael exhibited dismissive behavior, quite literally laughing at the seriousness of my situation and displaying a significant lack of willingness to provide assistance. He offered no serious consideration of my issue, which I was shocked to receive because this attitude sharply contrasts with his offices previous positive reviews.
As a prospective client, I found this demeanor highly unprofessional and disrespectful, particularly because it comes from someone operating his own law practice. Regardless of his assessment of the viability of my issue to his practice, I expected a higher level of professionalism and courtesy.
For me to write a whole google review on this, when I never write reviews and have never used this system before, should say something about how poorly this situation was handled.
Edit: Upon receiving the owner’s response and call about my review, I believe it is necessary to offer more context regarding the situation.
We exchanged a quick phone call on April 2. In that 2 minute-long phone call, it was quickly evident that Michael was not taking my situation seriously.
I understand the need to be blunt, as I am a blunt person myself, but his “practical solution” was advising me to “Tell them to go to hell”. I responded to this with “That’s unprofessional, I can’t do that,” and all he replied with was “So?”
My issue was against a national organization over several thousand dollars, so the lack of seriousness my issue was treated with was shocking.
His unprofessional attitude is what inspired this 1-star review, not his refusal to take my case.
