Hired for divorce. found out after things were over what he missed and failed to follow the law. He cost me money, time, and caused aggrivation. He may be a nice guy but a lousy attorney.

Used him for divorce. Waited a couple of years before posting a comment so that the sting of divorce was over. Mine was a more simple case, uncontested to a point. I have a basic understanding of the laws and Mr. Rathel did provide acurate advice. I may not have been happy with the outcome but the fact is that the law was followed and that is what your attorney is supposed to do. I deal with attorneys every day and the number one complaint is lack of communication. I do understand that attorneys have more than one client so there are times where communication can be difficult and i also understand that the attorney and I may be thinking and meaning 2 different things. I give him an ok on communication but think he and the majority of the other attorneys can do a better job.

All about the money...took my money without explaining ANYTHING to me or helping me through a very difficult time. I wasn't expecting love and support from my lawyer but some decency and respect would have at least been nice.

Despite all the negative feedback I saw on this attorney initially, I reluctantly went with him for a $2500 uncontested divorce. All the reviews that state that all Mike is about is money is completedly TRUE. He on multiple occasions stated that he wanted to drop me if I didn't pay the additional $2500 when it was still an UNCONTESTED case! It is allowed 2 back and forths regarding the MSA and I only had one! Luckily the opposing counsel was reasonable as he didn't have any knowlege to defend me if they made obsurd accusations. He is giving the law profession in Florida a bad rap. Do yourself and the rest of Florida a favor and choose an attorney that is knowlegeable and gives a crap about people...

This lawyer did a great job on my case. They handled it from start to finish for one fee and they did everything they said they would do. I would highly recommend this firm.

Michael Rathel gave default custody to a father without truth of the case. I guess money is above the law.
