 1/9/12   5     5     4     5     5   I don't know what you other folks are talking about but I can tell you that I did everything that Michael Harker and his staff asked me to do and they got me better results than I even imagined that they could, for which I am more than satisfied. I just can't thank them enough for all their help. All I can say is that I am very grateful for a job well done! RID: 58449

 5/1/11   5     5     5     5     5   FOUR OF US IN THE FAMILY RETAINED MR. HARKER TO REPRESENT US IN ALL OUR REAL ESTATE AND BANKRUPTCY MATTERS. WE RECEIVED THE PROPER GUIDANCE FROM MR. HARKER WITHOUT STRESS. EVERYTHING WAS STEP BY STEP PROCESS. THE SERVICES WAS EXCELLENT AND WE GOT THROUGH ALL OF THIS CASES WITH NO WORRIES. THIS LAWYER IS VERY UPFRONT, AGGRESSIVE TO HIS WORK AND I CALL HIM A VERY HAPPY LAWYER. I WILL KEEP REFERRING MR. HARKER TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND EXTENDED FAMILY. SO FAR, I NEVER HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS TO SOME I REFERRED TO HIM. ALL I HEARD IS HE HAVE A GREAT STAFF WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE. RID: 45091
Click to report rating    3/6/11   5     5     5     5     5   This is an answer to the dated Feb. 21, 2011. I can tell you that I am real. I have been to Atty. Harker office many times. Either for myself or bringing a friend. We did had an appointments, we have to wait a while and we could see people walked in and out meeting with Mr. Harker or his staff. My experienced and observation to the firm is excellent along with my case and so as with my friends that I referred. It's very simple we can't win all the time. As long as our Attorney tried his best, I did not mind losing. For my case I was satisfied. It was not the way I wanted but it was done properly.You can have the best case but in court, you can still lose. Don't cry on spilled milk. It's done, No one knows the truth of your story so please keep it to yourself. There's always two sides of the coin. To let everybody know, Attorney Harker is the best lawyer I've know and I will continue refer my friends and people that need help. RID: 42128

 3/5/11   5     5     5     5     5   I have used Mr. Harker on my criminal case. He said even in his retainer that no case is guarantee but he will try his his best. If not because of him, I could have been in jail. Thank you Mr. Harker. RID: 42065

 3/5/11   5     5     5     5     5   I have used this attorney for ten years and have nothing but 100% faith that he uses his best judgment and consideration when dealing with clients per their type of case. This attorney is very good at what he does and very selective about the types of cases he takes. He stood up for me when I had no one else to turn to and did an outstanding job. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He represented me the very best he could and the judge even seemed impressed. He is very strong and a fighter for what I wanted and needed and got it. I suggest you just have to tell him the truth about your case don't hide any secrets, so that there's no surprises at the end. RID: 42057
Click to report rating    3/2/11   5     5     5     5     5   I’am very satisfied with the service provided by Michael Harker, he’s doing a good job with my PROBATE case,i'm not really good in English but all of his staff explain it to me proper and clear. If anything that I do not understand I can come to his office anytime I need.Im so thankful i found a lawyer like him. I highly recommend him as a capable attorney that I would use again if necessary. RID: 41905
Click to report rating    3/2/11   5     5     5     5     5   In a rebuttal to the previous poster's allegation that the posts here are not real, this one is. I retained the services of Atty Harker to stop the foreclosure proceedings initiated by B of A on our home, in breach of an agreement with them for a loan modification. We have so far received nothing but timely and professional services from the law firm, and will not hesitate to refer anyone needing outstanding legal counsel to Atty. Harker's office. Going back to the previous poster, "CAVEAT EMPTOR". Obviously, the poster lost his case and is now spilling poison on the water well. RID: 41855

 3/1/11   5     5     5     5     5   Was incredibly efficient and knowledgeable when dealing with my case. Everything I needed to know for my case was presented to me in a clear and understandable manner and made going to court much less stressful. My case was handled successfully and I am very thankful to have had Mr. Harker as my lawyer. RID: 41848
Click to report rating    2/21/11   1     1     1     1     1   I seriously doubt any of the high ratins are even real. I doubt this guy has any client who likes him. One only needs to deal with him or his staff to wonder how does a person like this continue to practice law in Nevada. He took my retainer on a case that an honest attorney later told me had zero merit. I gave $5000 which I doubt I will ever see. Shame on you Harker. Same on your Firm and most of all, SHAME on NEVADA for allowing Harker a license. RID: 41357

 10/30/10   5     5     5     5     5   My experience with Michael Harker was outstanding. He was able to successfully negotiate principal and interst reduction for my property. He is professional and he treated me with honesty and integrity. I recommend his services and would use him again. RID: 36704
Click to report rating    10/20/10   5     5     5     5     5   I was extremely satisfied with the service provided by Michael Harker, whose office kept me informed while minimizing my personal involvement in the complicated procedures and other intricacies of the proceedings. I highly recommend him as a capable attorney that I would use again if necessary. RID: 36294
Click to report rating    10/11/10   5     5     5     5     5   About 2 years ago our first home has been threatened due to economic hardship that spread-out throughout the country. Our employer reduced work ours, my mother lost her job and our current employer freeze wage increase. We felt helpless and trapped and seems like the only way out is bankruptcy. But Attorney J Harker, showed us the way on how to resolved our economic hardship without declaring bankruptcy. Our current household economic recovery has been very successful with the guidance, assistance, knowledge, very helpful legal staff and expertise of the law of attorney Michael J. Harker. I would definitely recommend attorney Harkers firm to help Americans in hardship with their mortgage predicament. RID: 35942

 9/28/10   5     5     5     5     5   after two previous attorneys that promised me to modify my house end up to foreclosure. A friend of a friend referred me to Attorney Harker after my house was foreclosed. To my surprize, he was able to get me back into my house and still living in it, and back to litigation with a loan modification from the bank that foreclosed my property. For the money he charged me is all worth it. I did not expect so much when I went to Mr. Harker, it was just another lawyer to me at that time. I would like to give him my best appreciation for the job well done to give me back in to my house. Even loan modification is not totally done yet, to get me back in is a miracle. Thank you Mr. Harker for helping me out. You did and still work hard on my loan modify. RID: 35370

 9/27/10   5     5     5     5     5   I was referred to Mr. Harker by my co-worker back in May 2008. I admit I was very skeptical, as I had a very bad experience with another attorney prior to Mr. Harker. But I still took my co-worker's advise to retain Mr. Harker for my child support case. To this day, I'm so happy with the result of his services. I'm glad that I listened to my own instinct and my co-worker. Mr. Harker is very upfront on everything, he did not guarantee anything to me but I saw how he really worked hard and did his very best to get the result I was expecting. His always professional, efficient & very intelligent on all my court hearings. I watched him in court and his always knowledgeable and very updated of the law. From what I saw in Mr. Harker's services is nothing but excellency and service with integrity & honesty to his client. It's a case by case basis and there's no guarantee on each case. Now I'm a permanent customer. I refer him to all my family & friends! RID: 35313

 4/7/10   5     5     5     5     5   Very highly recommended! Mr. Harker and his tenacious legal team found an almost forgotten statute/precedent which turned the tide in our favor in a very complicated litigation. His legal team kept me informed at all times, good news/bad news, et.al.. If I happen to be faced with another legal issue in the future, I know where to go.... RID: 29023

 4/6/10   5     5     5     5     5   I retained Michael Harker in 2008 on a Breach Of Contract issue regarding our real estate loan financed through Countrywide/Bank Of America. From the initial exploratory meeting, to the filing of the lawsuit, up to the present time I have gotten nothing but EXCEPTIONAL service from his law firm. I have referred this outstanding gentleman to friends and family, and will continue to do so. He is an asset to the community in general, but more so, to people who don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on a top-notch lawyer. RID: 28999

Click to report rating    3/26/10   5     5     5     5     5   I was referred to Mr Harker for legal assistance in a real estate matter. During my initial consultation, I found Mr Harker to be a very straight forward lawyer, an excellent listener, and with high professionalism. Mr Harker explained the remifications of my case in plain and simple layman's terms, easily understood, puts me at ease, and encourages me as his client to interact my thoughts during his discussion. I retained Mr Harker from then on and readily referred him to all my colleagues, relatives and friends to handle their legal needs. I am happy to finda very compassionate lawyer, who is also excellent in his profession. RID: 28628
Click to report rating    3/21/10   1     1     1     1     1   A DISGRACE TO HIS PROFESSION.... WHAT A SHAME. RETAINED THIS CLOWN IN 2007, NEVER RECEIVED ANY FOLLOW UP FROM HARKER NOR HIS INCOMPETENT STAFF WHEN TRIED TO INQUIRE REGARDING MY CASE HARKER WAS EITHER OUT OF OFFICE OR WITH ANOTHER POOR NEW CLIENT HIS ASSISTANT WAS ALWAYS GONE FOR THE DAY...EVERY DAY SAME STORY..MESSAGE AFTER MESSAGE AFTER MESSAGE NEVER A CALL BACK .NEVER ANY CLIENT CONTACT AFTER RECEIVING RETAINER NEVER DID I EVEN RECEIVE AN UPDATE BY MAIL YOU WOULD THINK AFTER ALL THAT MONEY HE COULD AFFORD SOME SIMPLE STATIONARY TO KEEP HIS CLIENTS INFORMED. SO I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO JUST SHOW UP AT HIS OFFICE A FEW TIMES TO GET ANY POSSIBLE INFORMATION CONCERNING MY CASE .EVERY TIME I WAS TOLD THEIR WAS NO ONE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS DUE TO HIS INCOMPETENCE AND NEGLECT I NOW FIND MYSELF IN 2010 WITH AN UNJUST JUDGEMENT AGAINST ME .

Click to report rating    8/8/09   1     1     1     1     1   I've had this incompetent, so called lawyer, working a case for me a few years now and have seen no results in my case. He throws out excuse after excuse when you do get ahold of him, which only happens when he feels like talking to a client. His paralegal is routinely off at lunch or just plain off no matter what time of day you call. If my case ever does make it to court I hope he has the good sense to show up on time since he obviously has very bad time management skills. It has gotten to the point where I think of him as being just as bad or worse than the person I have him trying to get into court! I have no choice but to use his services since I know he'd never give back my retainer. So all I can do is hope for the best. I definitely would not recommend him to any of my friends or coworkers!! This guy was recommended to us by a local/state agency? Nice job by them!! Not! RID: 20837
Click to report rating    6/23/09   1     1     1     1     1   In the beginning, he was the best attorney out there. Now you can never get ahold of him, ever! Message after message after message is left, and not even a response from his assistant. Retained him 2 years ago and spoke to him a handful and I mean one hand-ful of times. Only to find out 2 years later that we "wouldn't win the case". He needs to get back to basics and learn what customer service and communication is all about. RID: 19436
Click to report rating    5/4/09   1     1     1     1     1   I've been trying to resolve my case since april of 2007!!! Since last week, April of 09 his secretary has been due to give me a call back to schedule and appointment, and I still have no response from her! It's ridiculous! His rude staff makes it even worse. DO NOT go to this lawyer. RID: 18020
Click to report rating    4/9/09   1     1     1     1     1   This is the worst law firm I have ever dealt with. DO NOT give them your money. Go somewhere else its not worth the head ache of his rude staff and inability to complete work! RID: 17219
Click to report rating    3/6/08   1     1     1     1     1   Mr. Harker dropped the ball several times with my case. He has been a terrible communicator and would respond only after a threat to report to the state bar.Ultimately, he entered into a settlement agreement without my consent. He also, after filing a counter complaint, never bothered to serve the other party. RID: 8400
Click to report rating    2/16/08   5     5     5     5     5   What a CARING, UNDERSTANDING, PERSONABLE, ACCESSIBLE, KIND-HEARTED, DILIGENT, RELIABLE, METICULOUS attorney. From your first meeting with him you can feel his empathy for what you are going through. He is not like the other blood-sucking divorce attorneys, you get your money's worth and more. His representation in mortgage litigation is on the same level as his family court issues. Too bad he doesn't practice in other areas as he is a credit to the practice of law. RID: 8069
