Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Michael is a great lawyer, came to him when I didn’t know what to do. He handled my case with ease and gave me a very great outcome. My actions forward are on my own. But in the beginning he told me what was going to happen. And it didn’t let down in court. Everything went the way he figured it would. Very professional, and very responsive on all questions! Hope I never have to use him again but if I am in need or anyone I know I will be pointing them his way! – Korey Peterson
Great lawyer and an amazing person
Michael Harbeson represented my son in a very sensitive case that lasted 2.5 years. During this time I believe he went above and beyond what anyone should ever reasonably expect. I felt our case became personal almost for him and he even stated this towards the end. My son was 12 at the time and Mike was very professional and compassionate with my son. I could say so much more but this review is already getting pretty long so to sum it up I would recommend Michael Harbeson to anyone. He is a great lawyer and an amazing person. TY Mike and your team. – Jerry Snyder
