Cameron Deane
I sent emails to 8 legal firms regarding my divorce. My Legal Cruch was the only one that gave a returned call. Michael provided information on all the aspects of the divorce - positive and negative outcomes. I stressed a lot, but with Michael's vast experience and knowledge on the matter, I could finally go through with this difficult process. He is also very patient and courteous.
Thank you Michael for your assistance.
I recommend My Legal Cruch to anyone that requires efficient and personalised legal assistance.
