Reviews for Michael
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I must say Michael DeWitt is the best attorney I have ever had work on a case for me. Mike always called and communicated with me when he said he would. His knowledge of the law is way above average. If I were looking for an Attorney I would definitely use him again.
Michael is a true professional, he advised me with a salary dispute. He was quick to answer and always available to answer my questions. I would 100% recommend his services.
Prompt responses, proven results. You CAN trust this firm to handle an aggressive opposition, I am certainly happy that I did. Michael also invests the time to learn about the clients' "whole story"- he listens (very important to me) and explained the process in a way that made sense. We... worked on this matter TOGETHER, and my confidence was strong in Michael's abilities due to my involvement, he asks the RIGHT questions. Very pleased with DeWitt Law.
In the strongest terms possible, I do not recommend Michael DeWitt. Based on my experience working with him for two-plus years on a federal lawsuit, followed by several months reviewing his representation, I came away with serious concerns about his reliability, strategic judgment, follow-through, and ability to develop and present a strong case.

I wish I had not entrusted something so important to him, and I would like to spare others similar anguish.
Michael W. DeWitt/DeWitt Law, LLC agreed to take my case, but then ghosted me and I never heard from him again. Anyone considering using him as your attorney please think twice. He has no problem wasting your time, lying to you, shaking your hand and then ghosting you. I should’ve known something was up by the way he looked disheveled, homeless and his shoes were incredibly dirty. Nothing about him looked like a professional attorney that was meeting with a client. We first initially spoke over the phone where I explained my situation. Michael Dewitt then scheduled an in person meeting for us. I went all the way down to his office where he agreed to take the case and said I should hear from him by the end of the week with a copy of the demand letter he’ll send to my former employer plus his attorney fees. When I didn’t hear from him, I sent a follow up email, that he completely ignored.
