Bianca Formisano, Esq.

The first family court hearing I had retained Mr. Meth for went fantastic. We spoke on the phone several times and I had spoke with and met the paralegals in his office and they were a pleasure. Going into the hearing, while extremely nervous, I was confident that Mr. Meth had every ounce of information he needed to properly represent me. Second hearing didn’t go that way. I was not able to reach anyone by text or phone until 5 days before the hearing. I have messages and call logs as far back as 6 weeks prior to trial I initiated contact. After only a few brief, very rushed phone calls 1 and 2 days before the hearing, there was zero proper preparation. In the hearing, it showed. Mr. Meth had stated a few things that were quite inaccurate and when others made inaccurate statements, did not say anything. I read back through statements, documents and letters I had provided and I’m not sure how he came up with the inaccurate statements made. There was also information regarding the children and the foster family that I had also provided originally in my initial conversation with Mr. Meth as it seemed it was a major point in whether to file a petition or not which after the hearing he said he was unaware of. He at that time told me the judge very clearly insinuated she was dismissing my case after the trial on 12/20 and while I was on the phone dictated an email to the other attorney saying I would drop my petition if I could have visits. The judge had suggested that the attorneys try to talk about possible visits. The email was not sent and when I asked about it I was advised by Mr. Meth he was working on visits for me. I decided to go into the trial alone since I was already advised by my counsel that my petition was going to be dismissed I felt I had nothing to lose. Mr. Meth did come and try to be there with me as he felt it was not in my best interest to do it myself. That was appreciated. I did go by myself and am glad I did. As an aside, I want to say Mr. Meth came highly recommended by a friend who got full custody of his daughter with Mr. Meth’s representation. I get it’s crazy times and so many are short staffed and incredibly overwhelmed. While this happened this ONE time, based on my friend’s experience it’s clearly doesn’t happen every time.

Having a lawyer and staff you can trust to be prepared and available is huge is today's world. I would hands down come to Meth Law Offices for all my legal needs. From Micheal being an excellent lawyer and then the added bonus of the office staff being on top of every need necessary for your court case to be as successful as possible. By choosing Meth Law Offices you will not be disappointed, the best choice you could make is hiring Meth Law!

I have hired Michael Meth two times. Not a regular everyday lawyer by any means. I hired Michael because he is extraordinary in complicated child custody matters. If you are looking for a lawyer who will hold your hand and call you weekly to check in, this is not the lawyer for you. Fact as I know it is that Michael is insanely busy in court winning case after case. He will get back to you but takes up to 24 hours unless it is an emergency. Tara his paralegal however takes your calls walks you through every step that you need to be walked through and truly is a miracle worker in so many ways. Tara will be your go between with Michael and is an absolute brilliant paralegal.

Fierce lawyer. I just seen the comment that “They don’t return calls” Maybe calls are not returned because this lawyer is in the court room fighting for his clients! I personally have never had that issue, my calls have always been returned by end of business day..... Exceptional lawyer who achieves impossible settlements weekly!

Stuck in a hotel with my two children after being ordered by judge to not leave the state to go back to our home in FL Michael Picked up my call at 7 am on Saturday Morning. From that moment on I shut up and listened (for the most part) and he has been by my side over the past year and half fighting for my rights and my children's best interest. Michael in a matter of days had his team on my case and corrected the wrong that was done by the Judge and my previous attorney and sent us home where we belonged. At my first court appearance with Michael with in seconds of him standing up and fighting for us I knew all I had to do was sit back and let him work. He is beyond intelligent, very quick on his feet and has no fear of fighting for his clients be it with opposing counsel or a judge. He is truly and advocate for his clients. Michael and his team are second to none. We have been in the lower court (family/supreme) and the higher court (Appellate division) and he has continued to prevail on every level even in the face of some heavy adversity within the courts. If you find yourself in need of a legal team to support you and guide you on winning your case without having to mortgage your home and go into debt for the rest of your life and who genuinely cares, Meth law is the right place. If you don't have him, get him..
