Testimonials

Nearly ten years after my divorce, he came into my very complicated child custody case and immediately went to work understanding the intricacies that previously led to me obtaining primary custody. He validated my immediate concerns, and he worked tirelessly with a laser focus on my kids best interests. Ultimately, he settled our case one month prior to trial, and in a way that gives me peace of mind for my kids and their future. In fact, the settlement turned out to be better than I ever imagined it could be and I credit that solely to Michael Flaxman.

Danielle is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. She does not sugar coat anything, which is great because there are no surprises. She knows the law, she knows the intricacies of the Clark County judicial system, and she advises accordingly. Danielle is the attorney that answers your calls and follows through on what she says. In my opinion, she has her client’s best interests front of mind, but is also realistic so that we weren’t spending unnecessary money to fight a menial issue. We have used her for 2 cases so far (unfortunately) and both times, she’s been amazing! We have friends who have also hired her and sing her praises. I highly recommend Danielle if you want transparency, honesty, fairness, communication, and to know where all of your dollars are going. She is fair and will be your best advocate!

I can’t recommend Michael Flaxman enough! He brought a spark of encouragement, hope and even laughter through what is typically such a stressful process. I’ve already referred one friend and his after hours reading of emails and texts is truly next level service. Thank you Michael!

He is the best family lawyer in town! I can’t say enough good things about Michael. He truly cares about his clients. He even picked up my calls on Xmas eve at 8:30pm. He doesn’t over charge and truly cares about his client’ needs. I highly recommend and I refer all of my friends and family to him. Super honest and ethical! Superb human.

Highly recommend! Danielle is a young attorney who has been mentored by some of the top family lawyers in Las Vegas. That mentoring shows in how she conducts herself and her knowledge of the laws. She is insightful and able to hone-in on what is important to the case and to her client. I was treated with respect and caring throughout the process. Don’t be surprised to find she is still working late at night when a problem arises … she has your back, even after hours! Her work helped me get the settlement I needed in a case that was contentious and headed to trial.

I come from a family of attorneys and Mr. Flaxman is the ONLY attorney I would recommend in this town. He listens, is professional, thorough, honest and quick to respond with questions and clarification pertaining to my case. This case is made more and more complex by the opposing party. Mr. Flaxman knows how to cut to the chase, end conflict and stay the course, ultimately using the law to pursue justice. I am proud to have Mr. Flaxman as my attorney and highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services. He will fight for you.

Danielle handled my divorce after being married for 25 years. This isn’t something fun or easy to go through. Danielle was so knowledgeable and efficient that it finalized much faster than I ever thought possible. She took a very difficult situation and made it less stressful. I am so grateful for her professionalism and abilities. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who has family law needs and would certainly retain her services again if need be. She is truly amazing!
