I am extremely grateful for the outstanding representation I received from Mr. George.
I was put in a very stressful and confusing situation when a complete stranger filed a protective order against me. I had no idea why it happened or what the outcome would be, but Mr. George guided me through everything with professionalism, confidence, and compassion.
He explained every step of the process clearly, made sure I understood my rights, and took the time to prepare thoroughly. In court, his calm and strategic approach was remarkable. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, the judge dismissed the case, and I finally felt a huge sense of relief.
Mr. George is not only an exceptional lawyer but someone who genuinely cares about his clients. If you're facing an unexpected or unjust legal issue, I highly recommend him. His dedication, knowledge, and support truly make a difference.

Michael George and his team are thorough professionals and not out to squeeze every dime they can out of clients. They took over my divorce after both my ex-wife and I terminated our existing lawyers who were unnecessarily dragging out the process for many months and many whopper legal fees. Once we switched to Mr. George, the process was completed smoothly, efficiently, and without undo costs. I highly recommend this firm.

Being unfamiliar with the divorce process, I admittedly made some mistakes in proceeding through my own. The biggest of these mistakes, by far, was hiring Michael George to represent me.
If you love your children (and your financial well being going forward), stay away from this guy. Whatever he offers is simply not worth the risk. There are plenty of attorneys in Fredericksburg, and better to take your chances with another option. Buyer beware.
UPDATE:
Since Mr. George decided to reply to my review, it's worth providing some additional clarification here.
The crux of Mr. George's argument is that he worked with me 12 years ago. He then makes several misleading statements, adds some gaslighting, and offers some false sympathy at the end.
Let's unpack Mr. George's various claims:
1. Mr. George uses a distancing tactic to say that he worked with me 12 years ago, so anything that may have prompted my review must be due to recent events. It's plausible, but this is just speculation.
2. Mr. George says that I was happy with the outcome of my case. This is absolutely false and the documentation from my case does not support his claim. Mr. George's words here simply do not square with reality and they are not defensible.
2a. Mr. George's bit about the website is also not true. What happened was that, at the end of my case, I was left by Mr. George on the edge of bankruptcy. He then had the audacity to send me an invoice for additional services. This was like adding insult to injury. I wrote him back and said that I had no way of paying the invoice given my circumstances, but maybe what I could do for him, instead, was to start telling my story about the outcome of my case. The invoice immediately went away and I never heard from Mr. George again.
3. Mr. George finishes by making inferences about my mental health and claiming that I am stalking him. Common sense says that, if you want to write a higher-quality review, you should include photos. Stopping by Mr. George's public office to snap a couple of photos took me five minutes. Stalking someone would look very different. On another level, Mr. George's words here are slightly defamatory and, frankly, he should know better than to take this line of argument--especially in a public forum.
If you're looking for a sample of the kind of thought and sophistication that Mr. George brings to his work, this is it. He just gave it to you. He shows up being careless, irresponsible, inaccurate, lazy, and a little dumb.
Here's what really prompted my review:
I was deeply affected by the negative impacts of working with Mr. George. It took me several years to put together the details of what happened. Over time, it occurred to me that, if he did what he did to me, then he may have also done it to other people. And it also occurred to me that, if he did what he did to me, then he may also do that to other people in the future. And, at that point, I realized that I had a responsibility to let others know about working with Mr. George. That's it.
If you have anything at stake in your legal matter, it is not worth the risk of putting those things in Mr. George's hands. There are many other attorneys in Fredericksburg, and it would be worth doing the research, asking around, and finding more trustworthy representation.

Michael George and his assistant Rebecca have gone above and beyond helping me and my daughter get through a very rough family legal case. They have had our back every step of the way. Through a very long and complicated case. I wouldn't recommend any other lawyer. Mr George is tough, smart, fair and absolutely straightforward in his personality and his work. A 100% recommendation from me and my family. Thank you guys!
★★★★★
Mr. George was so helpful the first time I called his office, he walked me through the protective order process and I felt like someone was on my side. Mr. George has been by my side since --the following two years of my battle in and out of court. He is very knowledgeable regarding the law and comfortable in the courtroom. He has been beyond reasonable with payments which has been a huge help for a single mother. His team is very helpful and communicative. I highly recommend him for any Family Law issues you may be having.
