Silicon Valley Law Offices

michael gave me a sales pitch of filing a RO against the RO and easily solving the case. he requested $20,000 as retainage. after paying retaining fee, another attorney, evelyn (who was a disaster), was my unofficial but practically THE Attorney, and michael went out of scene. i asked michael several times that he proised me he will file a RO against the other party, but he ignored my emails and instead wrote long long emails to keep a good image in front of the judge. this is when my opponent plagiarized the case, and i could easily quash the case. for one months of literally no work more than 20min hearing, he charged me over 10,000. it took him two months to return the remainder of my money while he was not on my case even for one month.

Michael Pascoe and his team at SVLO absolutely saved me - not just in terms of dollars, but my sanity - seriously, they kept the situation from becoming unhinged and kept me from taking the wrong turn several times! I would react and try to steer things in a direction that would ultimately not serve me well; Michael was calm and thoughtful and was able to end this emotional roller coaster that I'd been on for the past year and half. He kept me focused on what mattered and took care of all the rest. His knowledge and experience proved right every time; Michael would call it and he knew exactly what he was talking about. I learned to listen to voices of reason and my attorney's words of wisdom. For me it was taking a huge leap of faith. All I can say is the faith I placed in Michael (and Evelyn) paid-off. One thing I really liked is that even though I hired one attorney, and was charged only for one, I had a team representing me. Sometimes both Michael and Evelyn would appear and they were both involved and active in my case. They are both incredibly knowledgable and skilled at negotiating and have different styles that depending on the situation they would decide who to bring in. This was undoubtedly one of the worst times in my life, and I hope to never go through anything like it again, but I can say without reservation that the SVLO team made it great. THANK YOU!

i selected michael as my attorney with the misleading reviews online. while he promised a very strong defense at the beginning, he disappeared and a woman in his office, named Evelyn R., came to picture and michael disappeared. they destroyed my case. my opponenet took out child out of town when i had visitation time, and instead of filing to "contempt of court order" - which could get my opponent in jail - they forced to "collaborate to have a good visibility in front of the judge". they literally wasted 10k of my money for no one single meaningful output. they bad work made me pay much more to my next lawyer and wait way longer for my case to clean up the mess they made

Michael is an amazing individual and an even better attorney. I had a complicated case involving child and an unrelenting individual. Michael calmly assessed the situation and performed wonderful negotiations. We signed off within 8-9mo from start to finish, this would have been impossible to imagine without Michael. He is super busy and has become even more sought after now, but his staff does a wonderful job of scheduling and as an individual going through something unknown and scary you feel your being taken care of.

Michael is an awesome guy and the best lawyer i have ever met! He is truly more interested in doing the right thing for the client than he is in creating a huge bill!!! He has gotten me out a bad family situation and made me feel completely confident that i had the ordeal under control with him at the helm. Coco the therapy dog sat in my lap while i cried my eyes out and Michael was so patient and sympathetic!! In retrospect i felt like i was sitting in my friends living room sharing my problem as opposed to an attorney’s office. His bill was reasonable and he and his fabulous staff held my hand the whole way out of my hellacious situation... Thank you Michael et all for your dedication and support. I don’t know where I would be today without you!!! Having said all that, I highly recommend Michael and his wonderful staff for anyone needing a family attorney. In fact after my problems were solved we went back and had him set up our family will and trust. Now we not only have today taken care of, but our future is also covered and set should we have any kind of unforeseen issues. My thanks again to Michael and his staff for saving my life and helping me be prepared for the future !!!!!
