I could not have chosen a better attorney for my lengthy child custody case. Michael always returns calls and emails, exceptional communication, and mindful of cost. I have never met an attorney that cared for their clients the way Michael does. He represented me for child custody and support, civil litigation, and division of property for a domestic partnership. I can promise you, hiring Michael Conroy will be the very best decision you make for any legal issue.

Michael represented me in my custody case. He truly cares about the best interest of the child and will stand behind you 100%. Michael does not play around, he is straight to the point. If you are honest with him he will get the job done right the first time. If you want a lawyer who is 100% committed to your best interest, he is the man for the job.

Hired Attorney

I hired Michael to help me adjust my custody agreement with my ex. Going into this case I had filed for a change of custody in WA state. My ex had a civil warrant filed in LA to remove the kids from my home and wanted to put sanctions on me. Michael had a huge mess on his hands. I got everything I wanted out of the case. He was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire case. My only issue was that he was very expensive but when it came to getting my kids he was worth every penny.

Hired Attorney

Dishonest and greedy. He cheated me of money, time and played with the emotions of a mother. He is only interested in money charged me 400 for driving to the court which was an hour away. His associates were also the same. Do not ever hire and all reviews about him being so great are rubbish

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
