Michael did an excellent job of listening to my situation, summarized the key issues, made suggestions to focus on what was important, and worked to help minimize the drama on our side during my second divorce (which was a challenge given some of the initial claims being made by the other side, a kick-out order served on me, a temporary custody hearing which she lost and the multiple attorneys she ultimately went through over 1 1/2 years).

I highly recommend McDeavitt Law! Michael and Irene are professional, honest, and work with great integrity. Divorce is emotional enough, so it is comforting to have someone with Michael's experience to guide you through the complicated legal landscape. He clearly explains your options at each level of decision-making, and then allows you as a couple to decide what will work for you, as it should be in mediation. You will be in very capable hands at McDeavitt Law. They recently handled my case, and as divorces go, it went very well.

Michael and Irene are amazing; over the past year they have helped me navigate through the difficult process of divorce. I called several different law offices before someone recommend the Law Office of Michael P. McDeavitt. After speaking to Irene on the phone and at my initial consultation with Michael I immediately knew he was the one that I wanted representing me. His ethics, knowledge and compassion are beyond compare. I highly recommend his law office.

I cannot say enough positive things about Mike McDeavitt and his paralegal, Irene. I began this hellacious divorce journey 10 months ago, when I walked into their office crying. Mike is compassionate and brilliant. He has gone to bat for me time and time again and continues to do so with the same zealous advocacy he started with months ago. He has an amazing understanding of the law the is matched by his high ethical standards. My ex is on his 5th or 6th attorney at this point. I cannot imagine that! Mike has taken the time to talk to me/calm me down when things have reached their boiling point

Mr. McDeavitt is an attorney unlike any other. He has an extraordinary understanding of family law, and the dynamics that it involves. A man of few words, yet always the right ones. Brilliant, fair, trustworthy and dedicated. Where other attorneys may gouge you with fees, Mr. McDeavitt is incredibly honest and just. Family court is an emotion-filled arena. He is respected by both judges and attorneys, and he has an amazing calming effect on the whole process. He double-checks everything, and often catches the mistakes of others that attribute to his clients' positive outcomes.
