Attorney Michael Thomas was recommended to me to handle a situation after my mom passed away. Everyone in his office was very professional and helpful. Attorney Michael Thomas took time with me and really listened to what i needed to say and then explained the best way to handle everything. He and his staff were always available if I had any questions. I would highly recommend Michael Thomas for your legal issues. Thank you from. Todd Neuman.
I’m a retired lawyer. I went to Mr. Michaels on a referral for an estate plan. After he put in minimal work to produce some documents, on a call to discuss he told me his efforts were to be a courtesy and non-negotiable, and if I wanted to leave certain conditional gifts his documents didn’t accommodate that and I should create additional accounts (I.e., he was not going to put more work in to find solutions). When I expressed displeasure, he said he’d give me half my money back (for documents that were useless to me) and I should come to his office to pick up my prior originals. We had no contract, so at most he should have been entitled to a reasonable hourly rate for the little work he actually did. Instead he wanted half of what we agreed for the whole job. Caveat emptor. Get it in writing if you’re going to deal with Mr. Michaels.
Having your estate planned can be a very daunting task. We met with Mr. Michaels and he made the process seamless. He walked us through every step and confirmed all of our information. Once it was drawn up we came back and went through everything to confirm accuracy and signed. Thank you for making it easier for us. I would highly recommend meeting with him for your estate planning. You will not be disappointed.
My mom used this attorney for several years and so when she recently passed away, I hired him to handle the probate of the estate. He and his staff handled everything with unparalleled kindness and knowledge. I highly recommend!
Tom is an exceptional attorney! He is honest, fair, and informative. His attention to detail is impeccable and has saved me from many headaches. Highly recommended for anyone looking to plan their estate!
