Hired Attorney Michael A. Goss

If you are a man wanting representation I cannot review his performance as an attorney. I am a woman who hired him paid him good money and if you're going through the painful experience of divorce this is not a man that you would want to represent you, he will make you feel a little, small, your voice will never be heard by him only his voice resonates. he will disrespect you he will not listen to you, he will criticize you, he will make you feel stupid and honestly he made me feel like he couldn't blame my husband for divorcing me, if you're going through the traumatic experience of divorce as a woman please do not hire this man, he is not going to take care of you, he's not going to protect you, and he definitely will not represent you well. he's very much a male chauvinist but most attorneys are it's a horrible experience to go through an made even worse by this attorney. He will tell you that is all about money and paying him and that's all that he cares about.

Hired Attorney Michael A. Goss

Atty Goss runs roughshod over his own clients. He "runs the show" and refuses to listen to the direction of those paying the bills. He double-billed me for the same work on multiple occasions, threatened to abandon my case on the eve of our hearing if I pushed ahead to go in front of the judge, and stood in my way and didn't let me leave his premises until I threatened to hold him on charge of unlawful detainment after I succumbed to his demand and sign a settlement I had not been party to.
