Micheal worked with me to resolve a number of legal issues over the past year. Either he or his wonderful wife Jayne got back to me immediately - I never felt I had to compete with other clients or that my concerns were not top priority. Jayne is so kind and welcoming, and does a great job of making you feel at ease in their office. Recently Michael helped resolve an issue with obtaining a passport for my daughter. He was swift in drafting a letter, submitting it, following up with the government agent on my behalf, and resolved the issue promptly. I was incredibly impressed with his timely work. He is extremely fair with his billing, and often did not charge for significant periods of his professional time. I would highly recommend Michael and Jayne

Great work environment, professionally and expertly handles every case. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Great people to deal with.

Very polite and helpful over the phone. I really appreciated them reaching out to me to give some sound legal advice without asking for a large amount of money upfront. I only wish I had chatted with Michael several years earlier.

Michael Butterfield helped our family through a challenging situation. He was patient and attentive to our concerns and gave clear, concise information that kept our best interests at heart and avoided further conflict.

Michael helped me with a tenancy agreement. I discussed the issue with him and he told me how the matter could best be resolved. Things were sorted out very quickly with Michael keeping me informed on how the matter was progressing. Michael was kind, efficient and effective. He also has a brilliant sense of humour which is rather a good trait in a professional. I highly recommend his services.

Michael and Jayne made a very difficult process simple and straightforward. They provided fantastic service and support, and I would highly recommend them to anyone requiring legal assistance.

I got help from Mr.Butterfield at one of the most difficult times in my life. He listen all my concerns and provided service that was more than excellent. I would recommend Butterfield Law if you need ligal help

You won’t be disappointed!
Having Michael and his team looking after your affairs is almost worry free. Michael brings things to a calm and reasonable level and I left every visit feeling more confident than the last.
For me, Michael sought out an amicable negotiated agreement. He found the potential in 2 opposing sides and pulled it off brilliantly.
Michael is very well trained in colllaborative mediation and we were able to stay out of court to obtain our agreement. However with your confidence in his preparation he is never far away from a Judge if required.
Billing is fair! Jayne keeps things very well organized and tidy. Your never left out of the loop when it comes to expenses in the past or upcoming in the future. Cost estimates were accurate and at times even lower.
I typically do thorough research before my endeavours and with respect to family law, I believe I found the best Lawyer in Victoria for me.
I’m not the easiest client as my expectations are quite high and this team was spot on.
Thank you Michael and Jayne for everything you’ve done.

I would highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking legal services. In addition to his legal expertise, Michael is a very kind person.

I would highly recommend Butterfield Law.

I was happy with michaels work on my file. I had a collaborative separation and I would def say this is his specialty. It was pricier than I thought but I honestly didn't mind paying it because he worked hard to get me the things I needed from the divorce. I also appreciated that he took into account that I didn't want any unnecessary hard feelings as that would impact my kids. I did everything to protect them from this and he really took that into account while balancing interests.

Terrible. Inflated costs, poor service and an all round unpleasant experience. The job got done, but many months longer and 60% higher that quoted. I recommend an alternative firm. Truly displeased. I would post zero stars if it were allowed.

I recently used Butterfield Law for a debt collection issue. I found Michael Butterfield to be thoughtful and attentive. His advice was clear and he did not waste time or money. I would strongly recommend Butterfield Law to any of my friends.

I hired Michael to help me with some legal issues in a hotly contested child support situation and would like to share my experience with his firm. First and foremost, Michael listened. He gathered the information relevant to the situation, asked good questions and made suggestions on how to proceed. What I received was a course of action which was best suited to my situation, not some cookie cutter response. Michael is knowledgeable of the law and the courts here in Victoria specifically, articulate on courses and potential outcomes, and finally staunchly ethical. His billing was very fair, and I really felt I had someone I could trust and rely on in my corner which is a huge stress relief in these types of situations. I would highly suggest Michael to others who are looking for an expert you can trust in these types of matters.

I highly recommend Michael Butterfield for any legal action. He represented me in a personal injury claim (ICBC). He guided me through the process from start to finish. He gave me GREAT advice, negotiated very well on my behalf, and helped me get an EXCELLENT settlement. I liked that he was a straight talker, and told me how it was--that helped me cope and make good decisions along the way. I have referred him to friends going through divorce, and they have been very happy with his representation.
