We spoke often and he was always helpful. The results of the divorce were as we agreed upon.
He was very helpful in protecting my relationships with my daughters

Hired Attorney

I am a retired Michigan trial attorney, licensed in 1958. In June 2024 I retained Michael Elkins to sue a landscape company and its holding co. for breach of contract relating to the planting of dozens of trees and the filling of a lawn depression. Elkins filed the action in the Oakland County (MI) circuit court. He is very familiar with this court and Michigan Court rules. Elkins failed to respond to a defense motion for Summary disposition. or to defense's requests for their submitted admissions of fact most of which were incorrect and loaded. Such lack of response caused the court to rule against me in both instances, costing me loss of the right to claim thousands of dollars in specific damages. He failed to timely and fully communicate; he accepted part of a retainer payment without providing any service. He unilaterally abandoned my representation even though he has not been allowed withdraw by the court as is required by Michigan Law. He has ignored ethical court requirements.
