    Consulted Attorney 2021-2022
    Women avoid him at all cost, especially if you are in a domestic abuse situation. He is the 7th degree arch of corruption of the judicial system that destroys women and children. "When a mason takes the royal arch oath or "obligation" to subvert and pervert justice, he is swearing to act in concert with Masonry's highest authority, who corrupt ethics are inherent in the oaths. This means they have to cover up and give favor to other people who are masons that commit crimes. Our judges and lawyers who are masons do this." He is beholden to Freemasonry "law" not to right/ethics/morals. Freemason’s goal is to lie, cheat, steal others, particularly women’s lives because they cannot do anything honestly or on their own. He is one of thousands of corrupt family court lawyers who is the reason women are homeless, poverty stricken, and lose their children to abusive husbands.

    Hired Attorney 2018-2020
    i used this guy when i was in the Army. He did absolutley nothing for me except give me child support, didnt try and help me one bit. i spent nearly around $8,000 of my savings for him to do nothing but charge me for emails, and short phone calls, and didnt give me any suggestions or help me what so ever. if your a father..... skip this man, he just wants your hard earned money.

    By far the most excellent lawyer I’ve ever delt with. He will not let you down in the courtroom. I highly recommend Michael Danforth for civil and divorce cases.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
