What Our Clients Say

Great family law lawyer. He offers support for family’s seeking resolutions in a positive, no confrontation approach, but readily available if something isn’t going in a positive direction for the best interest of the child and family. His goal was always to create an order that would stick with the family until the minor turns 18+ instead of short term solutions that would require constant updates. He is extremely knowledgeable when it came to laws/statutes/and court contracts and procedures. He noticed some corrections in the other parties lawyer paper work yet in a professional manner corrected it which helped both parties ultimately serving the best interest of the child rather than confrentiationally declining. The other party even wished they hired him because of his genuine services, knowledge, and response times. All around my personal satisfaction was due to his great communication, no “dead” time when it came to questions or needs, his billing was honest and reasonable and well defined, over all accessiabliity- his office was located in an easy to find location, he used emails, phone calls, and willing to meet in person but finally his goal was always for short term services in hopes for long term results. I would highly recommend Michael Wurtz.

Kristina Ward

Having utilized the services of Mike Wurtz recently, what stands out the most to me is how he was available to speak with, easy to talk to and realistic in explaining the likely outcome of my case. I found that he did not try and push a more aggressive (and costly) route because he felt it would not be in my best interest. My case involved quite a bit of paperwork and Mr. Wurtz was well-versed in the proper way to document what was needed; in fact, he was very particular about handling it a certain way when the opposing attorney was not. In order to meet an important timeline I had, at the last minute, Mr. Wurtz accompanied me to the courthouse for needed signatures. I am thankful for his representation and guidance and would not hesitate to retain his services in the future.

Julie Read

Mike got me through my divorce and child custody negotiations with realistic expectations. He was my third attorney and the one I wish I had gone to first. He was so quick to reply and get back to me and remained calm throughout. Very knowledgeable and reasonably priced for the work he does.

Megan Ingle

I had a great experience working with Mr. Wurtz through a difficult situation. He explained everything thoroughly so I knew what to expect at each point in the process, and was very professional. I am so grateful for his representation.

Kathryn Connor

Mike was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was he able to represent me in my divorce and secure the best outcome I could have ever hoped for, but his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support throughout the process. I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Wurtz without reservation.
