Michael Sousa is extremely bright and knowledgeable. He has a great depth of understanding of the law and the facility to explain complicated matters in an easily understood manner. He is organized, attentive to details, and quickly responsive to all communications. More simply sated, he knows his stuff and he is very professional. I have referred his services to friends and colleagues.

From the first steps to the last, I felt assured that every item was covered. Mr. Sousa explained every nuance and likelihood and promptly made adjustments at a subsequent request. His manner was and is gracious and forthright, and I was happy to have him draw up similar documents for my daughter.

Empathic, reasonable, understanding. These are just a few words I would use to describe Michael Sousa’s style and brand of legal expertise. I use the 90 / 10 rule when it comes to dealing with professionals (Insurance agents, estate planners, lawyers, accountants, etc..). My point is that 90% of these professionals are terrible, average or just want to sell you product or their services without really taking the time to custom orient a solution to your needs specifically. Only 10% of these professionals are worthy of their profession. Of these 10 percent (who are hard working and desirous relative to accomplishing your goals and objectives), very few of them fall into that pocket of trusted advisor status. These are the professionals who listen to you and form expert answers around the situation you describe. They know they may not have all the answers for you, but are willing to tailor a solution around the specific needs you have based on your individual situation.

Working with Michael Sousa on my various legal issues has always been a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and has always taken the time to thoroughly explain everything. He is very trustworthy and always follows through on what he says he will do. Unlike other lawyers I have dealt with, Michael is always quick to respond any time I have called and he wasn’t available.

Michael Sousa helped me set up an estate for our family. As anyone who has done this knows, it can be a complicated process. Mike helped make it easy through his knowledge and professionalism. I’ve already recommended his services to a handful of colleagues.
