However, Jacob Candelaria was 30 minutes late to our second PHONE consultation- in that consultation he explained that I should look out in my email that week and I never received what he said I would. I contacted his office to make sure he had the correct email address and never heard back after numerous attempts. Finally I received a very passive aggressive email in which he even brought up my mental health. Mr. Candelaria made me feel like a bother for calling his office, when a simple response would have been the solution. In my opinion, Mr. Candelaria is unresponsive and has a hard time maintaining the jobs of a senator and an attorney. I was also extremely humiliated, insulted, and saddened to see that Mr. Candelaria would bring up and blame my mental health for his lack of empathy, responses, or commitment.

He ALWAYS followed through when he said he'd call back or email and after dealing with other attorneys in the past, I really appreciated that! Going through life we all have horrible times and having a patient, dedicated & professional attorney that handled things with class and dignity, not all about how much money he would make off me, was a huge relief. I can't say thank you enough. Sorry it's taken me a while to write this review, but please know I've thought of your kindness and professional demeanor during that very difficult time in my life, several times.

Five Stars Are Not Enough -- Integrity When It Mattered Most…read more Nearly a year ago, I was searching for a workers' compensation attorney during one of the most difficult and uncertain periods of my life. I had been seriously injured at work, my career was suddenly in jeopardy, and I was terrified about what that could mean for my ability to provide for my children and family. I found Mike Doyle through his outstanding Google reviews. Those reviews led me to call his office. I also interviewed other workers' compensation attorneys, but after my first meeting with Mr. Doyle, I knew he was the right attorney for me. No one else came close to matching the character, compassion, professionalism, and genuine charisma that Mr. Doyle and his team demonstrated from the beginning. My case has been long and challenging. Over the past year, I have undergone two surgeries, countless physical therapy sessions, and numerous medical appointments. Throughout every setback and difficult moment, Mr. Doyle remained firmly in my corner. He encouraged me to keep fighting, work hard through rehabilitation, and stay focused on rebuilding my health and career. He did not treat me like a case number. He treated me like a person whose career, children, and future truly mattered. What distinguishes Mike Doyle most is his integrity. Mr. Doyle never once attempted to steer me toward a decision simply because it might benefit him financially. He listened carefully to what mattered to me, explained my options honestly, and consistently advised me based on what was best for my health, career, children, and long-term future. He also never approached my case with the goal of unfairly harming the other party. He remained professional, ethical, and principled throughout the entire process. When the time came to make important decisions about resolving my case, Mr. Doyle could easily have placed his own financial interests first. He did not. He thought about me. He thought about my children. He considered the lasting consequences each decision could have on my family and advised me accordingly. On July 23, 2026, Mr. Doyle integrity was placed under a particularly bright spotlight. He had an opportunity to take a path that could have benefited him personally. Instead, without hesitation, he chose the path that was best for me and my family. You do not always know the true character of a person until that character is tested. Mike Doyle was tested, and his integrity never wavered. That moment confirmed everything I had come to believe about him over the previous year. I also cannot say enough about Tana and Yanira. They have worked closely with Mr. Doyle and me throughout this entire process, and their communication has been exceptional. I was consistently kept informed, my questions were answered, and I never felt forgotten or left out of the loop. They are compassionate, responsive, organized, and professional. Together, Mr. Doyle, Tana, and Yanira form an extraordinary team. Choosing an attorney after a workplace injury can feel overwhelming, especially when your health, livelihood, and family's security are at stake. I remember exactly what that uncertainty felt like. For anyone currently standing where I stood nearly a year ago, wondering whom they can trust, I strongly encourage you to speak with Mike Doyle and his team. Mr. Doyle is not simply an outstanding workers' compensation attorney. He is a man of character who stands beside his clients when they are facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. He gave me honest guidance, unwavering support, and confidence that every recommendation was being made for the right reasons. Five stars do not adequately express my gratitude. Mr. Doyle, Tana, and Yanira have earned my highest possible recommendation and my lifelong respect.

Made many promises about actions or timelines which, in the fullness of time, were either disingenuous or unfulfilled. Allowed our case to languish for four years. I often felt gaslighted by his choice of interpretation of events which appeared to be selectively motivated to excuse routine canceled sharing, alienating tactics, unilateral parental decisions, etc. He articulated numerous troubling statements regarding his sense of the father's roles and timesharing. (IE. I should be grateful I had "so much more time[sharing] than so many other fathers", "the best thing you can do is walk away", and angrily telling me, "You can have one or four days [every two weeks], I don't care!") Too often he derided my intellectual ability to understand his decisions rather than provide meaningful insights. I found his leadership to be ineffectual and untimely for recurring childcare concerns. Ultimately, he discharged himself from our case and left my future parental involvement on behalf of my children in a precarious and disempowered state. If you are a father, I would not recommend his services as a Guardian Ad Litem. He was unwilling to value the idea of equal fatherly involvement or something on par with the mother's role in decisions for our children.

They are not professional or trustworthy in my opinion.
