My husband and I are very pleased with the work Michael has done for us. We went to our first appointment not entirely sure what we needed or wanted. He took the time to explain the whole process and our options with no pressure to choose one over the other. We did opt for a trust, wills, powers of attorney, etc. Michael prepared all the documents then explained everything in detail, told us how to proceed, and answered all our questions. What more could you ask for?? Such a pleasant experience. Michael is professional, patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him for any estate planning needs.

We are a retired couple and engaged Michael Cahill to update our wills after moving to Nevada. He did a complete estate plan, including wills, a trust, medical directives, and powers of attorney, at a very reasonable price. He clearly explained the requirements of Nevada law, helped us sort through our options, answered all our questions, prepared the legal instruments quickly and thoroughly, and at the end of the process gave us a neatly organized set of documents for our records. He is friendly, courteous, and easy to work with. We couldn’t be more pleased with his services.

He is a prominent professional, who listens to you and understands perfectly your case He gives you the best advice
I'm a client and I am very satisfied with his work

Update April 17 2018 : I realize I updated this on Yelp, but not Google. Michael contacted me shortly after the review below, and we discussed that my experience could have been due to an unfortunate series of misunderstandings. We agreed to hit reset, and continued to work together at the previously agreed rate ($1600 + 300 + 18 recording fee).

Since then, communication has been prompt, and the service delivered to date has been thorough. I'm not removing my previous review as was requested, but am leaving this update to acknowledge that the prior experience could have been an anomaly. I'll continue to update as we work through the rest of our estate paperwork.

Michael has been great. The work he performed was good AND he took the time to humour all our weird crazy questions - of which we had many! We never felt rushed at his office and we feel much more confident going with Michael vs some sort of DIY option online.

So, and if you want someone who in person is friendly and approachable, and whom you can ask a lot of questions for during the process, then I would definitely recommend working with Michael.

I was so convinced that we would be using Michael as our lawyer that I didn't even bother to request consultations with any other firm. So I am disappointed to have to be writing this review.

Michael never actually produced any work for us, so I cannot speak to the quality of his work.

I can however speak to the lack of professionalism I experienced.

As a business founder, I've interacted with a number of lawyers in the past across a number of fields. This was (luckily?) the most disappointing experience I've had to date.

We first contacted Michael by email to request a consultation. The website promises a quick turnaround, and when we didn't receive a response, we didn't think much of it and called in the following week to schedule a visit.

The visit went well, we went away feeling good about our decision. Michael said he'd think about our situation and come back the next day with a quote. He told us we had a very straight forward case and that preparation of our documents would be on the lower end of his fee scale, which is typically between $1400 and $1800.

7 days later, I followed up, at which point I was informed the fees would be $1600 to prepare our estate with a $300 change fee each time. It was also going to be a $300 fee to prepare a simple contract on a separate issue.

It was mid range, not low range like Michael had indicated, but no big deal. I replied to say let's proceed with the simple separate contract first as it was more time sensitive, at which point Michael communicated that he was only willing to do the simple separate contract if we were committing to doing the trust as well.

Yes, I replied. He promised a first contract to review by the next day.

And didn't deliver.

At this point I'm not feeling great about our experience. Here's someone who has now, failed to follow up on commitments on 100% of our encounters. So I sent a message indicating as much, saying we were disappointed with our experience, is the contract ready, and if not we should part ways.

His reply : He apologizes, and wishes us the best going forward.

I recognize that timeliness is not a factor of quality, and many law firms have assistants that stay on top of followup. I also recognize that things can take time and don't expect a speedy turnaround. I do however, expect when dates are promised that they are delivered or otherwise properly communicated. Michael completely failed to instill confidence on this front, and furthermore demonstrated an unwillingness to work with clients when called out on that.

Mr. Cahill was excellent took his time, answered every question, all the documents were right the first time, best trust and estate lawyer my wife and I have ever met. Mike is a 10.

Michael helped me understand clearly what documents I already have in place. He didn't try to sell me anything. He was very honest, professional and kind. Those are wonderfully, impressive qualities for a lawyer. I definitely recommend him. Thank you for your help and advice.

My wife and I recently started a family and knew we needed to get our Wills updated and create a trust for our children in the event that something happened to us.

Having recently moved to Las Vegas we didn't have any connections to or recommendations from friends and family for a Estate Planning Attourney.

I did some research and and discovered the Law Office of Michael R. Cahill. His website was very informative and I wanted a one man operation as I felt there would be more personalized service as opposed to multi lawyer operation where you don't know who you'll be dealing with.

Mike was very attentive from the first phone call through the consultation all the way to the drafting of the documents.

We had some unique requests regarding our trust and Mike was able to come up with a multilayered solution to our needs.

Mike really helped us understand the entire process and answered all our questions and concerns. He has also been great with follow up questions and is always quick to respond to emails.

We have already recommended Mike to friends and encourage others needing this service reading this review to give Mike a call.

As a New Yorker, I needed help navigating through Nevada's legal system to take care of two estates. Both my parents died in 2018 and then my brother died in 2019. I had a number of questions and started to search for someone who could help me with two very different situations. I found a blog posting that Michael Cahill had written about Transferring Title of a Vehicle Without Probate in Nevada and then I read all the glowing reviews on Yelp about the Law Office of Michael R Cahill. I decided to contact Michael and I’m glad that I did. As a busy New Yorker, I had done my homework prior to meeting with Michael and he was incredibly helpful and generous with his time in the hour consultation that he met with me free of charge!

It was indeed a pleasure working with Michael and I highly recommend him.

Michael Cahill and his staff is always so helpful and also very fast at responding, which is very important to me! Really appreciate this law firm so much! I give it 5 stars all the way!!!

Excellent professional service. He has helped me in the past few years
with my Trust. Very efficient.
Recommended highly!

Professional and knowledgeable,he was able to answer all my questions, put together plan for best course of action

An A+ experience.
I met Mr. Michael Cahill in 2014.
He handled my trust and personally guided me through this emotional and complicated process with his kind professionalism.
I felt comfortable and confident in his abilities as he followed through so effortlessly.
I recently had some unrelated inquiries and he made himself readily available and on such short notice, to answer any questions I had without the slightest of hesitation. Again, kind yet professional.
I have since referred countless people I know to his practice; from family to friends, even mere acquaintances.

Michael Cahill was an excellent choice for our estate planning. He took the time to explain each and every detail and helped us choose the best options for us. We never felt rushed or like a burden, like you do with most law practices. His office was very efficient and organized. Would definitely recommend.

It was a little bit of a challenge to find the door BUT once my wife and I found it, it was all reward. We came not knowing exactly what services we needed. Michael displayed his knowledge by navigating us to the exact services, we lacked. In conversation it seemed complicate and heavy tasked, but with the provided checklist and the over the phone repeated clarifications, my wife & I easily completed this necessary task.

comments by others seemed good enough to reach out for some legal work, but alas, two phone calls several days apart didn't even generate a return phone call. If that is an indication of his level of responsiveness, best to find that out before engaging him.

Michael is super knowledgable, definitely knows what he's doing. I regularly ask him for advice on everything ranging from business formation to wills and trusts and he always comes through with solid recommendations. Definitely a great attorney, recommend him to everyone I know.

We were very pleased with the service we received from Michael Cahill. I would definitely recommend him- very professional, knowledgeable and likeable.

A++. This was my first experience with this Law Office. Michael did a fantastic job on a Living Trust for two separate properties. Very imformative and after giving him all the information, he started immediately working with the title company. The turn around time was super quick and felt his fee was very reasonable. Great feeling to find a great Attorney.

Michael was a wealth of information and has guided me in the right direction to form my Company

Knowledgeable, very attentive!

My Trust had many different twist and turns to it. After considering and explaining every possible problematic scenario, Michael Cahill completed it within an upcoming deadline. Efficient and thorough professional service.

We hired Michael to help us get our affairs in order (trust, wills, etc.) after my mother passed away. He was very professional, helpful and afterwards answered any additional questions we had in a timely manner. We definitely recommend him.

I found Michael Cahill's office while searching on the internet. I live overseas and having to do business in the U.S. when being so far away can be challenging. I contacted him by email and he immediately responded and I explained what I needed. We set an appointment time that was during my annual visit to Las Vegas.

He and his staff were very helpful, and Michael listened to what I felt I needed and he advised me and answered the questions I had. We set another appointment for me to review, discuss and sign my estate papers. He is available to answer my questions any time.

Finally, thanks to Michael, I have an estate plan and am prepared for the future.

Professional, thorough and knowledgeable. I give him the highest recommendation.
