Michael I Stern Attorney At Law

Reviews

First off, if you have even a mild interest in knowing what’s going on around you, don’t hire this guy. Absolutely horrible communicator. I would frequently email him with questions and never get a response. The only correspondence I would get was periodic requests for information about finances, important dates, etc. I had no clue what to expect going into court. Despite his apparent disregard for making sure his client feels comfortable and well informed, it wasn’t until our court date that my respect for him completely fell off a cliff. I had some confusion about a financial arrangement between me and my wife and thought that our court date was intended to work out an official agreement, but when he found out I hadn’t sent her a recent payment he flat out accused me of knowingly neglecting to pay her money that I owed her. When I tried to address my confusion he literally would not let me speak and repeatedly spoke over me. He cited “Navy Regs” as what required me to make monthly payments, yet the actual article (MILPERSMAN 1754-030) makes very clear that it is NOT a mandate. He wouldn’t listen, arrogantly assumed he was correct without having even read the article, and kept pressing me to agree to a 3k a month payment until I was worn down and reluctantly agreed. The guy’s just a bully, and he’ll leverage his years of experience as justification for not explaining anything to you. I know he’s going to read this review and make some snide retort to it but that really just demonstrates how little he’s willing to accept any criticism. Don’t waste your time and money. You’ll pay 5 grand to be treated like you’re not worth his time and then to be patronized when you’re understandably confused about what you’re supposed to be doing.
Michael Glen is amazing!!! He is BY FAR the best trial attorney in Hawaii! Michael won my horrendous 3 1/2 year custody battle, (after several lawyers before him did nothing for our case, all about the money) his courtroom presence is POWERFUL, detailed, and vigorous! He truly is a miracle worker! Michael, my son and I are forever grateful to you, thank you, for you!!!
Michael is tenacious in his work. I had a difficult divorce due to my ex spouse refusing to cooperate. Michael was patient with me and worked tirelessly to take advantage of all of our options. He was fair to me as his client and offered great work for a great price. I am very happy with Michael and will be referring him to all of my acquaintances. I will also be using him for all of my future legal needs.
Micheal Glenn is a troll with little man syndrome. He is the type of person that everybody hates and then gets off on it because he was beat up and teased as a kid and now loves the power trip. He is super unprofessional and seems to ether be not very smart or a poor wordsmith trying to scrape together a halfway decent sentence. P. S. legal disclaimer picture in review is portrayed by an actor.
The negative reviews on here are comical. 1. I recommend not choosing an attorney based on their looks. (He’s not a bad looking dude anyway- someone’s just salty). 2. He charges in 6 minutes intervals… have some gratitude that he got straight to the point. 3. If you can’t handle the word, “no,” that’s YOUR problem, not his. 4. He is absolutely NOT racist. Admittedly, the initial phone conversation, he came across as intimidating and “pushy,” but that’s what you want in an attorney, isn’t it? Once you sit down with him, you learn that he is a SUPER kind man that has your best interest in mind. He’s not going to waste his time nor yours or your money. He wants to handle your case, win it, and move along. You’re not hiring a new bestie, you’re hiring a lawyer. He’s a really good one that knows what he’s doing.
