Click to report rating    11/20/23   1     1     1     1     1   MK was agreed upon as an arbitrator by our family lawyers while meeting with Phil Epstein. In a long drawn out divorce, I later went in with another lawyer who had experience with him. He was so biased from the getgo, my lawyer said he was so biased at the first discussion that there was no point having representation. I had been in front of many judges and he took the cake. Referred to ‘my poor wife’ in his opening comments, later asking me if I was stupid while bullying me, his mirroring body language with the other lawyer was so unprofessional that it was shocking. I only hope he isn’t appointed a judge where he can do more damage. Judges/arbitrators can get it wrong but if they aren’t professional, what use are they? My lawyer requested that I not file a formal complaint as she had to appear in front of him. RID: 267717
Click to report rating    10/18/23   1     1     1     1     1   Used this Lawyer for mediation to settle home and pension. Absolutely terrible mediator. Deviated from the law, did not adequately review finances and impacts related to what was being proposed and was very forceful to accept a settlement that deviated from the law. Do not use this lawyer for mediation. RID: 267280
Click to report rating    4/24/23   1     1     1     1     1   Stay away! Massively drains your resources with no real plan or outcomes. Totally not client centered and does what he wants, often without informing you of the course forward. RID: 264950
Click to report rating    6/8/22   2     1     1     1     1   Not at all empathetic towards your situation. Pushes you to the wall to make decisions that you are not prepared to make. I would not recommend him in litigation or mediation setting for family law. RID: 260389
Click to report rating    2/28/22   1     1     1     1     1   Do not hire this mediator. He will not let you be heard in your conference. Does not care about you getting any parenting time. Only cares about collecting money. Had the nerve to ask me to find a large lump sum of money under a rock or ask a family member for it. This guy is a joke! TERRIBLE WORST YOU COULD HIRE RID: 232493
Click to report rating    2/8/22   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Kleinman was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. As a mediator he made both parties feel heard and brought us to a fair and reasonable agreement. I would highly recommend him. RID: 232235
Click to report rating    6/7/21   5     3     3     3     3   Really smart guy but would not recommend him for mediation if you're mediating for parenting. Not the type of guy to use for parenting. More of a #s guy. He also likes to direct you to follow what he thinks is right instead of listening to you. Also has no patience for people with language issues so don't use him if your English is poor. RID: 229196

 2/8/21   5     5     5     5     5   My ex-partner's lawyer over a multiple year divorce was so good that I have confidentially recommended him to three of my friends. I got screwed but at least my friends were treated well. This guy is the difference between knowing the law vs applying the law. creative lawyering is what he does well. was awful being up against his team. but I can appreciate a good lawyer when I see one. He is well worth your time, dollars and your case. RID: 226943
Click to report rating    8/29/19   5     5     5     5     5   I can't speak highly enough about Michael and his team. Accurate and very efficient. I was only billed for what was necessary and not when action was not required. Divorce is a long process both before, during, and after a divorce. Michael takes the long view in situations which has always proved to me to be successful. RID: 214054
     3/8/19   5     5     5     5     5   Very Nice. I Like!He wears always lovely shirts combined with a brightening smile. I also peed in one of his staffers mugs on the way out. - Mandingus Kouzmankas RID: 209183

Click to report rating    4/11/18   5     5     5     5     5   I always hang up the phone or leave his office feeling "taken care of". He states facts, explains the situation and comes up with solutions and approaches that I feel comfortable with. He is the voice of calm and reason which was very much needed. I highly recommend him. RID: 198041
Click to report rating    1/17/17   5     5     5     5     5   He knows his stuff, is creative in coming up with multiple strategies, prepares you for the worst, and cuts through the BS so there's no monkeying around. RID: 179281
Click to report rating    10/8/16   5     5     5     5     5   Michael and his staff helped me through a very trying period of my life with kindness, understanding and legal know how. They cared about not just my case but about me. RID: 175319
