Milstein Siegel, LLC

Michael Milstein filed court filings with errors in them one after the other until I decided to personally review all of the work I was paying him thousands of dollars to do. Make sure to read word for word as he copy/pastes all his previous filings and can't even be bothered to update the clients or children's name correctly in half of them!

I had a highly contentious divorce and was initially losing my case badly with my previous counsel. I switched to Michael Milstein’s firm after my previous counsel tried to convince me that being an every other weekend parent isn’t so bad. Yea, no thanks.

Immediately after hiring Michael, he and his team including his associate Emily and the team of paralegals did an outstanding job turning things around. Michael’s relationships and knowledge of the Howard County Court system is unmatched, and does a truly amazing job when faced in front of a judge at in-person hearings. In my case, he won all the major motions with the added benefit of embarrassing my ex-spouse in the process.

Closer to my final trial date, we won several big motions that destroyed my ex-spouse’s credibility and sympathy with all of the judges and strongly improved my position for trial. Our case settled a couple weeks before trial and I ended up with 50/50 custody, all three of my real-estate properties, no alimony, and the minimum child support per the state guidelines. This was a far cry from the 2 out of 14 days my prior atty was trying to prepare me for. My only regret is not hiring Michael initially.

When you are going through the most difficult and stressful experiences of your life, you must have the very best counsel you can find. Look no further than Harry Siegel's firm. Harry has guided me through very treacherous and difficult waters - always easing my anxiety and concerns. He is incredibly intelligent and knows the legal system and players like nobody else. This also means he has hired a fantastic team of attorneys, including now-partner Michel Milstein and associate Myriem Seabron that bring their own special expertise and outstanding counsel. While Harry is tough, he will never compromise class and professional conduct. Finally, he and his wife Gayle, who helps manage the firm, are two of the kindest people you will meet. All of these factors will help you survive the arduous process of your family law issues.

I can also vouche for the authenticity of the other Michael Milstein review. As he dragged my case out he told me repeatedly to just pay what I can and everything was fine as long as I was paying what I could. At the 11th hour he then used that as leverage to force me to sign an agreement that was in no way in my best interests, of course he and the opposing attorney had ran up extravagant costs at this point. I also urge anyone using Michael to make sure everything is in writing, in fact I would urge to not answer the phone at anytime and use email exclusively.

Harry is an exceptional attorney. He walked into a mess and made an immediate impact. His presence was felt right away by the opposing side. We had a best interest attorney named Meg Oliver who had been very dishonest and inappropriate during the process. She had alienated my son and was really causing a lot of extra expense, unnecessary negativity, and stress. When Harry came on and called her out she basically faded into the scenery. Harry is tough and yet he knows when its best to compromise. I am very impressed and will work with him for all of my family law needs in Maryland.

Regardless of my personal thoughts on Michael MIlstein, I want to ensure that current and future clients are aware of a few things. First and foremost, get everything in email/writing. If Michael tells you something that doesn't seem in your best interests, email asking him to confirm the statement. Ask him for all correspondence from the opposing attorney when received. There is a reason he tells his clients that he doesn't like email and will always try to call or do in person meetings. Protect yourself and leave a paper trail otherwise you leave yourself open to manipulation.

I called the Siegel to schedule a free consultation to speak to someone about a family law situation. Harry Siegel met with me and offered my great advice for the free consultation. I felt he was looking out for my best interest rather than looking to hire another client. I fully recommend Harry Siegel as a competent family law attorney that will look out for your best interest in legal matters.

In my opinion, Harry Siegel is the best attorney in Howard County. He has extensive knowledge of the law, the judges, the masters, and other practicing attorneys. He keeps cost down by using a team, and he genuinely cares about families, and the impact of divorce on them. He is responsive to emails and calls. It is critical that you have an attorney like Harry that will respond to emails on the weekends if you case is complicated. In my opinion, if you are going through a divorce, you SHOULD NOT consider any other attorney until you first speak to Harry Siegel. And, by the way, he does not charge for an initial consultation. As a matter of fact, I spoke on the phone with Harry for quite some time before I came into the office, and then came in and met with him for about 2 hours and he did not charge me for either of those initial parts of the case. I believe others have shared the same positive experience that I have had with Harry Siegel. He has like 20 years+ experience.
