Extremely rude, demeaning, and egotistical. I was absolutely appalled by his behavior. Had one conversation with him and that was enough for me.

First of all, this attorney was removed from his position as a district judge after being voted out for inappropriate conduct in Oklahoma. Apparently he has some serious issues with women. After my meeting with him, I can personally attest to it. After speaking with him on the phone, explaining the desperation of our situation with regard to a child in danger, we made an appointment to see him. We were welcomed into his office where we sat and watched him perform dog tricks with his dog for about 5 to 10 minutes. The dog was awesome, but it was very awkward. Here we are on a very urgent matter, and he is making his dog perform for us. Weird. Only after trying to speak with him did I realize he wanted me to act like the dog. Silent and obedient, while he spoke about his vast knowledge of the law. I also noticed that he was only interested in speaking to my husband and seemed to brush me off. We had briefly shared some of the details when he interrupted us and began telling us what we needed to do about this particular issue... explaining to us things we already knew and telling us things to do that we had already done, so I tried to tell him this when he became deeply, gravely, and abhorrently offended that I interrupted his speech. Instead of listening to our concerns and what information we already had gathered that could help us cut to the chase, he only wanted to hear himself speak. And he did NOT want me speaking. Clearly. After apologizing and telling him that I wasn't trying to be offensive but needed to tell him he rudely barked "STOP TALKING LADY YOU ARE INTERRUPTING ME AND I WON'T BE MISTREATED LIKE THIS!" Basically, he became enraged and said I was insulting and mistreating him and that he knew more than I did and he didn't need our money and that I was treating him poorly by interrupting him. Um... okay? You had ample time to do tricks with your dog while we sat and watched silently for what seemed like an eternity, but allowing me 5 minutes to speak is insulting to you? Wow. Completely unprofessional. And entirely unexpected. It was as if a switch went off in him and he just snapped.
It was the most disgusting display of ego and misogyny I have observed in a very long time. If you want a compassionate, professional, understanding attorney that will listen to you and find what you have to say important and relevant, then this isn't your guy. If you want an attorney who won't lose his cool within the first five minutes of meeting you, this is not your guy. If you want a guy that cares more about your issues than showing off his vast mastery of his dog, then this isn't the guy for you.

The Truth
Best lawyer in town hands down. I could not be happier from his performance and extremely good knowledge. Mike was on time for every court appearance he let me know exactly what was going on in the most professional way .. my court case was not cheap but I can proudly say it was worth every damn penny .. without Mike I really don't know where I would be today. Thank you so much Mike your the best
He’s currently representing my husband and I with a very delicate and serious matter in family court. From the moment my husband spoke to him on the phone he knew Mike was sent from God. His entire staff is just amazing, kind and compassionate and the level of professionalism is outstanding. Mike is an angel for us, he’s genuine, he’s honest and he’s very knowledgeable and experienced. He cares, he goes above and beyond and he works with you according to your situation. I have nothing but great things to say, and words fall short of what this man truly means to my husband and I. This man is a man of integrity, and the one on one personal attention he gives you just can’t put a price on. Every time I walk into his office I feel a sudden feeling of peace, I know we are in the best hands. I would recommend him to anyone. No doubt about it, Mike and his entire legal staff and team are the best.

They really did an awesome job representing me in my family case. Always called or emailed back and really took time to make sure I understood how my case progressed. 5 stars isn’t enough, but it is the highest I can give on here.

Had a horrible experience with this practice. Asked for divorce legal counsel with a focus on military and federal civilian retirement and was told how expert they were...received advice from someone who admitted he did not know those systems then charged me $700 for retyping a settlement that I wrote...then lost a complaint with the FL Bar....nice to know how the system works!

Sadly, money was more important than proper effort to keep children from an abusive situation.

Great law firm - handled 2 cases for me very well - Levi Thomas and Michael Chionopoulos were professional and provided me piece of mind during a difficult time. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very unprofessional lawyer. Please do your research online before hiring a lawyer. Find out their past and pesent situation. If they're all over the place; don't hire an attorney. I don't recommend this lawyer.

He was a total waste of money, we paid a high fee for a veteran lawyer and got a student fresh out of college. He never came to a single court date like he was supposed to . Hiring him was a huge mistake never ending money pit. All they did is send a few emails one month and put a folder together which i already did myself. I was charged $1000 just that month alone. Hes a liar, and a crook

Charged $3500, up front. All he did was spend 2 hours, drafting a settlement offer (with no input from me) all while handling othet business. opposing counsel refused his offer & he didn't have a plan b., more concerned that aopearantly I owed $200, so he refused himself...fine but he was served with my court date, didn't contact me to at least notify me, even for a fee, he just disregarded it so I was unaware of any court date, so my abusive ex was granted sole custody. NOT ONLY A WASTE OF MONEY, BUT OBVIOUSLY CARED MORE ABOUT $200 ( which I would have paid) then safety, best interests of a child. SAVE YOUR MONEY, HE CLEARLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CLIENTS, even small children, ONLY CO CERN IS MONEY.

Mike and his team of staff did an absolute great job fighting for my family when we needed it the most. Answering any questions i had and making sure i understood exactly what was being said in court threw out our case. Being upfront and honest with my family and I every step of the way. Giving us knowledge on what we could possibly be expecting. Very Happy With our Choice of Chosing ABSOLUTE LAW !!!

Worse legal we have ever experienced, they promise to do a great job, and all they do is take your retainer and then bill you until you have nothing letf and they did nothing to move our case forward, stay away for this bad lawyer, also check out his record in Oklahoma you will not beleive what you read... this is a bad guy that some how fell through the cracks... I not saying it is a fact, but wow if it is this guy is big trouble.... They are billing experts that cover their butts by having you sign all king of paper work that if and when they can terminate you and you can do nothing... this lawyer also needs to go on anger management, he scremed at me the client because I asked questions, wow be careful, he taks the game but once he has your money, he will bleed you dry and you case will be worse off then when you started.. Please check him out and make your own opinion..

I cannot sing praises high enougb for Absolute Law. I had trouble making ends meet after my divorce and Mike worked with me on the retainer. He really cares about people and was extremely professional. The entire stafff was friendly and helpful. I could not ask for a better advocate on my side. Will absolutely use again.

Wish I could give 10 stars! My experience with this law firm has been nothing short of life-saving. Mike is extremely professional and an excellent listener. He has helped me work through some very contentious divorce and child custody issues. He is knowledgeable and compassionate. I could not recommend more highly.
