My husband has been an attorney since 1975. He has been an Assist. DA in Brooklyn, an SEC…read moreinvestigator for the NYC office, a senior litigator for one of the largest Wall Street firms and then general counsel at a regional securities firm years ago. So we are very careful where we seek legal advice and go professional contact/ referrals all the way . I am very very lucky to have this. We were introduced to Bill Michelson JUST as my husband was recovering from 5 major huge surgeries . My husband had been so ill that we had almost zero income the entire 13 months of his non stop major operations. Mn even gave us food stamps fuel assistance that year! Huge blessing to have received! ( thank God he is fine now). He also lost his mom and brother in the middle of all this and was on strictly monitored major pain killers for 9 of those months. So my husband was "not totally mentally cognizant " in monitoring detailed projects during this time ( 5 rounds of anesthesia " stay in your system a good 12 months" said his back fusion/ diskectomy surgeon. SO... We were a very vulnerable scared couple when we walked in. ( almost all our bills were up to date-- he told us to stop paying everyone that first meeting ) First, Bill was a total stranger to us. My husband has never met him before, and we paid him fairly honestly like all clients He put us IMMEDIATELY at ease and gave us MASSIVE relief when he said that first meeting ," don't worry.... Your terrible physical and economic situation totally understandable after all these surgeries places you in a good situation... I can definitely talk to all your creditors, explain your dire situation today... And there is a good chance we can not only get them to work with us favorably , but I am confident I can get them to cooperate with us And have them lower your debt as well ." I have these as notes from my meeting . You have NO idea the massive waves of relief that rushed through us after hearing those words . So we automatically trusted him 100 % on the spot primarily from the referral and from his wonderous words . Why wouldn't we ??!! I immediately started the 2 years of repairing painting the house then finally packing and moving in December 2015. I left all the legal " mumbo-jumbo" to my husband. 18 months later when our house would not sell and it became upside down/ short sale , Bill found us an excellent realtor of short sales and was our closing attorney as well! We met with him a few times but worked primarily via phone (note: every minute on the phone the attorney's $ meter is ticking) I believe we paid him $10,000+ approx ( I found all bill's letters in my husbands desk... Unopened. Bill would call him tell him what we owed, Jon would pay.) Late August September 2015 we met with Bill. He said," I did not work on your debt overall... I did not want to do anything negative to your credit that would adversely affect the sale of your house (accepted an offer late October 2015)." I just listened nodded had no idea in general what was going on-- I had been feverishly packing . ... But we met with him a GOOD year before putting the house on the market......why didn't you call our creditors asap? We were up to date on many, not all. He DID work on just one debt (Winter 2016) with one creditor (they had filed a formal law suit against us) and negotiated them down 1/4-1/3. We met this spring 2016 and I mentioned to him that we were thinking of meeting with Lutheran Family Svces for in-depth financial guidance. He IMMEDIATELY was agitated excited raised his voice ( 1st time ever ) and said, " don't do that! You don't need them you have me." To make a long story short: we DID go to Lutheran Family Svces on Park ave in Minneapolis and got OUTSTANDING advice!!! We also learned from them that Bill had DONE ZERO... that ALL our DEBT was now 100 % charged out!! Zero negotiations zero reduction of debt. Zero promises . We were in TOTAL shock...... This has put us in very grave circumstances. And Lutheran Family Svces could do nothing to help nor save us... Toooo late...... I did indeed call him about a week later, late at night. and left a message stating that Lutheran Family Services offers outstanding assistance-- exactly the kind of guidance I had been fiercely looking for five years.... that they were NO threat to his work for our amt of debt was too high. I did end by saying honestly that he should have guided us to them years ago, for they could have greatly helped us....AND I let him know I was VERY very angry. He IMMEDIATELY dropped us. Lutheran Family Services is the BEST place to start. Go call make an appointment WAY before you get behind in your bills. They are a non-profit organization that has helped Minnesota individuals and families for years and years... for free. We shall survive, but avoid offers of " loan consolidation"!!!

I'm not one who makes a career out of writing reviews. But I wanted others struggling with consumer law issues to find a terrific ally and specialist in winning for them. It was after quite a bit of research and some phone calls before it became perfectly clear that this law firm was the best for me. The proof of this was a wildly successful outcome that was better than the best case scenario I had imagined. Emails? Very promptly replied to. Quality of advice and strategy? Second to none. Level of experience? This is his specialty and not some additional thing he tacks on his list of services. You can rest assured that you are dealing with an expert who understands all the intricacies and angles. As a huge benefit, I found him to be kind and empathetic. Stop the worrying and uncertainty. Get in touch with him, and notice how much better you feel having a strong and skilled partner looking out for you.

This was a lesson for me, as there is nothing insuring the other party will be honest. Clearly the Court Referee was not listening and ruled in favor of the local computer company. We filed an appeal in district court. In this venue there are very specific rules for presentation of evidence and a discovery process both parties must follow. The computer company's case would not have stood this test of truth and they settled. Frankly, when your lawyer feels the same way about the issue as you do, you know you are in the right hands. There is no more satisfaction than to win a case like this.

Add to that, a shoestring budget. I was overwhelmed and discouraged, fully expecting to be on the receiving end of the adage, "You get what you pay for." I couldn't have been more misguided; Adam's level of professionalism, dedication and personal knowledge inspired confidence and a level of client-lawyer collaboration that I was amazed/thankful to have experienced. Finally, he was beyond flexible with a payment plan that worked alongside my finances. My litigation results were successful, but what made the experience the most positive was the reinforcement of Adam demonstrating his concern for people over profit. He is a shining example of a St. Thomas lawyer, "Changing lives for the better, in the name of common good."
