Michael MacGonegal was incredibly helpful, attentive, and thorough during my initial divorce consultation. He took the time to carefully address my concerns, clearly explain the legal process and the next steps, while providing insightful guidance throughout our discussion. His knowledge and professionalism were evident, and I felt well-informed and supported. I would confidently recommend Michael MacGonegal and his law firm to anyone seeking legal representation.

Michael was incredibly polite and aware for our consult. It’s rare to meet people who can lower stress in a stressful time and give hope back as well as tell you hard to hear truths without coming across cold, but he has that confidence and skill. If you’re consulting with lawyers, I think it would be a good idea to have a call with him to see for yourself.

Michael is an amazing attorney. He will keep you levelheaded, manage your expectations to ensure you don’t spend too much money and negotiate effectively. On top of that, he doesn’t charge an arm in a leg like the big box firms. He worked so incredibly hard on my case- and really helped me get through an extremely difficult and high conflict divorce. I went through two law firms before I found him and I wish I had found him sooner. He allowed me to do some of the work myself to reduce costs. He used to be a social worker, so he understood the complex, emotional side of my divorce. With Michael, you’re not just a number. He truly cares about you and the outcome. He is honest, trustworthy, and also just a nice human being. He was skilled at listening, but letting me know my options and the consequences of each direction I wanted to take. He didn’t pressure me to do anything I didn’t want to do. Had I not chosen Michael, I would’ve made some very bad decisions that would have cost me a lot of money. When I came to him after firing my previous attorney- he immediately noticed their very poor work and worked diligently to correct their mistakes and ensure I was in compliance. He skillfully and strategically communicated with opposing council to expose their inappropriate actions. In addition, he took the time to acknowledge when he was uncertain about a course of action and consulted his partner for a second opinion; that humbleness made my case even stronger! I believe the reason I received a large sum of money was because of his hard work and advice. He did everything he could to keep me from going to court and spending more money- something that less professional law firms wouldn’t do. I am so glad that I chose his representation- I was and am truly better off because he was my attorney.

I met with Michael for an initial consultation about a matter in my case and will be hiring him should I need representation in the future. I like his professional and confident, yet personable, approach and upon meeting him, immediately felt comfortable explaining my situation. While explaining some background of my case, Michael made me feel heard and understood. His compassionate demeanor also helped me feel validated. Michael is straight-forward, reasonable, and fair. He laid out some options for me, and even offered some guidance in how to communicate around a matter in my case during our consult. Thank you, Michael!

I have worked with Michael McGonegal and his partner sporadically over several years and I have been impressed consistently with his demeanor and ability to make rational and appropriate decisions despite my own feelings or the stresses of the situatuon. I recommend his services as a Family Law attorney.
