Michael and Jane completed my divorce so quickly. They kept on budget and finally set me free. Thank you both for all of your hard work.

I finished my divorce with Michael and Jane. They quoted a price and delivered. They were responsive and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend them.

Michael helped me out with a rather niche and stressful legal issue, and his assistance made a world of difference for me. Not only did he provide very comprehensive and on-point legal advice, he was also very attuned to the human dimension to legal disputes, which made me feel very supported. Not only are his communications prompt, they are also rich with the sort of detailed information that you want from your lawyer, and he also goes above and beyond by pointing out issues that I did not think to ask about. Overall 5/5, would certainly recommend.

Michael Butterfield helped our family through a challenging situation. He was patient and attentive to our concerns and gave clear, concise information that kept our best interests at heart and avoided costly further conflict. We were very happy with the service we received from both Michael and Jayne. Thank you!

Mr Butterfield was good but his assistant Jane was 5 star. She was my main contact and was very helpful and caring. Mr Buttterfield was a bit hard to reach. It seemed he was not in the office often Jane kept on top of everything so it wasn't a real problem. He did a good job and listened to me which did not happen with my other lawyer.

I recently used Butterfield Law for a debt collection issue. I found Michael Butterfield to be thoughtful and attentive. His advice was clear and he did not waste time or money. I would strongly recommend Butterfield Law to any of my friends

I hired Micheal to help me with some some legal issues in a hotly contested child support situation and would like to share my experience with his firm. First and foremost, Michael listened. He gathered the information relevant to the situation, asked good questions and made suggestions on how to proceed. What I received was a course of action which was best suited to my situation, not some cookie cutter response. Michael is knowledgeable of the law and the courts here in Victoria specifically, articulate on courses and potential outcomes, and finally staunchly ethical. His billing was very fair, and I really felt I had someone I could trust and rely on in my corner which is a huge stress relief in these types of situations. I would highly suggest Michael to others who are looking for an expert you can trust in these types of matters.

I was happy with michaels work on my file. I had a collaborative separation and I would def say this is his specialty. It was pricier than I thought but I honestly didn't mind paying it because he worked hard to get me the things I needed from the divorce. I also appreciated that he took into account that I didn't want any unnecessary hard feelings as that would impact my kids. I did everything to protect them from this and he really took that into account while balancing interests.

Michael provided clear advice and guidance from day one of a very lengthy divorce process. He demonstrated much knowledge about working within a high conflict divorce with his ability to attend to details and in a time efficient manner. I felt 100% supported by him and his reception staff. I appreciated how he was able to break things down to provide a clear picture around arguments supporting my situation. Michael was always straight forward with his answers to my questions. I felt very confident obtaining legal advice and services from him. I would recommend Michael to others seeking a fair divorce whether it be within a high conflict situation or a more collaborative approach.

I just today finished dealing with a custody change for my daughter. Mr. Butterfield dealt with it fairly and quickly and we managed to avoid court. I was most impressed how he dealt with my daughters father who has a volatile temper. He managed to keep him calm and word things in a way so that he did did not feel offended. Very impressive communication skills. Got the job done quickly and with the least amount of drama possible. This makes it beneficial for everyone including the child.

I came to Michael Butterfield with a fairly complicated case. He has been diligent, compassionate and has a great sense of the big picture. I will be recommending Mr. Butterfield to others going through similar situations. I admire his integrity and strong work ethic.

My separation was difficult and lengthy. Michael provided clear recommendations and guidance, which simplified decision making. Michael gave me confidence and freedom by formalizing boundaries with my ex. When a divorce coach and mediation failed, Michael negotiated all aspects of my divorce just minutes before court - in the courthouse stairwell! While separation is difficult; divorce is spectacular! Thank you Michael.

My ex was really hard to deal with. I tried to work things out with her without us having lawyer. I found out she had a lawyer all the time. When I went to Butterfield I was screwed. It took about 6 months to get things right. he worked really hard and ACTUALY listened to me.

Michael Butterfield was our mediator. He was really good. We had a marriage agreement which should have made things simple but our assets has lost money and the agreement no longer worked. Michael was very patient and guided us to what was important. He also gave us the time to think about things and did not try and rush us. He let us chart our own course. We really appreciated his skill in getting us both past the feelings and pain. Thank you Michael.
