The profile of Michael Strauss states:
Caring, Aggressive, and Honest Family Lawyer.
His avvo rating of 10 (quiet high).
The reality:
Tried to intimidate over e-mail, didn't work out: was shut down with just one sentence, by the ordinary person like me.
Unfriendly, hard to deal with, although he was an opposing counsel of my ex, the goal is to work with the other part to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Seen him in the court, didn't look aggressive as the profile states, was mumbling to the judge to get more time as he couldn't find the e-mail
that my attorney sent him. In court he looked like a bum, in old and shabby suit with albow patches.
Often send to court his associates instead of appearing himself. Doesn't have company's e-mail like all the others do, uses free google mail.
Irresponsible: send emails regarding a new case to my former attorney that worked with me for a few years ago.
