Click to report rating    6/7/23   2     1     1     1     1   On his application he asked the other lawyer to do the order because he was "almost out of business". Information was often wrong, draft orders took weeks to get right. RID: 265544
Click to report rating    7/23/19   1     2     1     1     1   He is my daughter's lawyer in a divorce and he came unprepared for a settlement meeting with no case file and walked off after with the ex-spouse. He does not answer emails but prefers you come to his office so he can charge you an hour's fee rather than acknowledging your email or does he bother explaining things as he goes He has handled her case very poorly for the amount of money he has collected so far CA RID: 213072
Click to report rating    1/25/18   1     1     1     1     1   I did not retain Mr.Freak out..... I mean Mr.Furman. he was my ex's Lawyer and from what I saw I would not recommend this arrogant and money hungry old chap to anyone. He will waste your time and most of all your money. This is from what I've seen. He missed court dates and he missed the ball mostly. Thank God I didn't hire him. Best of LUCK if you do !! RID: 195229

Click to report rating    3/3/15   1     1     1     1     1   Please note all the 5's you see in these review are written by Furman himself or his incompetent staff. The person below was lucky to only pay 20000 in 5 years, I paid that in 2 months. He does nothing on the files, refuses to return calls and had no issues in lying to the judge to save himself over the client that has to pay for his incompetence. Find ins another layer truly or you will be sorry RID: 151193
Click to report rating    2/11/15   5     5     5     5     5   I was referred to Mike by a friend who highly recommended him and retained Mike's services for a family matter after the first lawyer I went to...did nothing for 3 months after requesting a large retainer. Mike got the majority of my retainer back and handled my case professionally and at a very reasonable cost. No complaints here. RID: 150327

Click to report rating    9/18/13   1     1     1     1     1   Poor Lawyer. Wouldn't recommend him to anyone. His staff is unfriendly, he is unfriendly.. all he cares about is getting to his golf game! I ended up shelling out $20,000 over the course of 5 years! ( I am a single mom ) and it took him over a year to get any child support from my ex! RID: 123714

 4/22/13   2     3     1     1     2   I found Michael and his staff to be poorly organized and ill prepared in the handling of my matters. Only areas they showed any degree of competence was in writing in-effective letters and accumulating billable hours. a lawyer requires the ability to litigate, negotiate and research legal precedent - these are not qualities you will find at this firm. RID: 108644
Click to report rating    4/20/13   5     5     5     5     5   I used Mike following 2 lawyers that were not getting my divorce finalized after 2.5 years. He is a straight shooter, funny and got the job done in a timely manner. I felt very confident in his representation and would highly recommend him. Thanks Mike RID: 108208

     10/2/12   5     4     4     4     4   Family: Used Michael's services to get full custody of a child, a name change, and had a legal Will compiled. He explained each process fully and made it simple for us to understand what was involved. Rates were explained up-front and no 'hidden or added' costs were later applied. I would use Michael for any and all legal concerns. RID: 92460

Click to report rating    1/16/12   4     4     5     4     5   Have been going through a divorce for years and finally found Michael through a friend who spoke very highly of him. He's completely down to earth and made me feel really comfortable. My ex's lawyer wanted to drag it on, but Michael got the job done really quickly and got me everything I wanted and more. My ex even walked away thinking he was happy! I highly recommend Michael for any of your legal issues - he ROCKS! Thank you, Michael, I couldn't have done it without you! RID: 58909
Click to report rating    1/11/12   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Furman has been a highly respected lawyer in Edmonton for over 25 years. When I had a legal problem, Mike took on my case and resolved it in a fully competent manner and on a timely basis. I would have no hesitation in referring others to Mike. As an aside, I have been examining alot of the negative comments written about Edmonton lawyers in this forum. Many of them are about family law lawyers. This is because family law is one of the most highly charged & emotional areas of the law. Unrealistic litigants (who didn't get their way in court) can come on to this page and say whatever they want, whether it's true or not. In reality, these litigants probably got exactly what they deserved and now they just want to complain. Also, litigants who lose in court can try to attack the lawyer who beat them in this anonymous forum. So be wary of the negative comments you may see. They may very well be completely inaccurate.

Click to report rating    12/8/11   2     2     1     1     1   He seems to be in it for the money only. He loves to draw things out without every achieving anything. When we were finally done he padded the bill heavily. When I refused to pay he dropped the bill significantly. RID: 56648
Click to report rating    8/19/11   2     1     1     3     2   Family Law - needed just to sign-off on completed agreement and he dragged his heels in attempt to discredit and fleece me for more$. RID: 50477
Click to report rating    7/30/11   1     1     1     1     1   Don't even visit on 124 St. to see his office. Had him as a lawyer, can not speak or argue with other lawyer and flabbergasted against judge. Have seen him in action at court, it was easy for judge to help defendant of this lawyer. Bad idea to have him as a lawyer. RID: 49425
Click to report rating    10/21/10   1     1     3     1     1   Do not tell this lawyer anything as especially if you are an abused woman he will go to your spouse and share the information with him! RID: 36371
