The Micklin Law Group, LLC is a law firm established in 2001 with an office in Montclair, NJ. At this office location, there are 3 lawyers practicing divorce for men, new jersey alimony rights for men, domestic violence restraining orders and 23 other areas of law.
Easy to talk to, explains what to do and how to do it in a way the average person can understand.
Mr. Micklin was very helpful and generous. He answered all of my questions and I feel very confident in his advice. He was genuinely compassionate about my case and I appreciate what he did to help me.
They claim to offer a free consultation but require a credit card number up front for $350 just in case you don't show up for your appointment... Not free in my book
Stay away from this firm. The billing was overly aggressive, constantly inaccurate and I had to fight every few months to remove excessive amounts. The managing partners wife would call me hours after sending my bill and asking when it would be paid and their billing staff would call my cell repeatedly, just days after issuing an invoice. I was egregiously overcharged and they overwhelmingly lost every single hearing and decision. This was the worst experience in my lifetime and received no value for the tens of thousands of dollars they charged. They seemed like competent attorneys but the abusive billing practices, overcharging and aggressive collection tactics are simply reprehensible. I am exploring a malpractice action based on the work they did and what they charged. Stay away
I would not recommend the Micklin Law group for a divorce or any other services. Their error resulted in my simple divorce case to get dismissed and I paid to get it reinstated - that right there is enough to look elsewhere. My experience was nothing short of horrendous. My ex had no lawyer and the Micklin law group had no back and forth communications with anyone but me. The divorce was uncontested and I with no help or guidance from the Micklin law group formulated an offer and worked it out with my ex. As stated above they submitted the default document with the wrong date then file amendment the withdrew the amendment and then let my case get dismissed. I had to pay to get it reinstated because Mr Micklin blamed it not their error of filing a document with the wrong date but blamed it on the courts, COVID and me for not catching the error. WOW. During my divorce they made 2 costly errors that cost me additional money and time.
It amazes me to see so many 5 star reviews, but to be fair there should be both the good and the poor reviews. The Micklin Group motto for divorce is "men have rights too" well in my case, I had no rights; it was all about her and not me. they did not make an argument for me, they did not inform me with explanations of documents sent via email, forcing me to call with question and additional billing. It was a very costly experience just to file some documents and correspond via email. If you were one day late with payment, they were on the phone. The list goes on, in the end, I fired the Micklin Law Group and finished the divorce on me own, which most of you can do using just one lawyer for the both of you and save yourself a lot of money. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and this was one of them.
I worked with this firm for 5 months. On two occassions, the judge intervened to provide me with advice and guidance which my expensive attorneys from Micklin had failed to provide. Other reviews on the internet note this firms overly aggressive billing practices, whereby they overcharge at very high rates while producing very little work product.
