    • I recommend Michael Reece.
    • I hired Michael 1-6 months ago.
    • Michael handled my Speeding / Traffic Ticket matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    He is my regular lawyer for traffic tickets. He always gets it reduced to something that won't hurt my license. I had one really bad one and he told me that it would be tough to get me out of it but he would try and it would take a while. He got me out of it!!!! I send all my friends to him.

    • I recommend Michael Reece.
    • I hired Michael 6-12 months ago.
    • Michael handled my DUI / DWI matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    He handled my stepson's DWI and got it dismissed in court when he confused the officer on some stuff about how he stopped him. He went out to where it happened with us and so he knew more about the roads than the officer did. He did a great job.

    • I do not recommend Michael Reece.
    • I hired Michael 1-3 years ago.
    • Michael handled my Domestic Violence matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    He said we did not need witnesses and just show up. Did not have to take pictures. He was two hours late to court and the judge commented on his lack of effort. Lost case and walked out and would not explain what had happened. Did not offer any comments or directions.

      Lawyer’s Comment:

      I recall this case very well. I was disappointed that the results were not better for the client. Clients hire me for my judgment and expertise in determining what witnesses and exhibits would be helpful and would advance their case; at times clients who have no prior experience in the courts may not fully understand the rules of evidence and ethical restrictions on the evidence I may present, although I always try to explain those restrictions.

      I've tried hundreds of domestic violence cases and have an excellent reputation for advocacy in this area of the law. The suggestion that I was not in court in a timely manner or that I gave anything less than my best effort simply is false.

      I did not realize that the client had unanswered questions or desired further discussion about the case after it was concluded. I answered the client's questions as best I could and tried to provide referrals and guidance for the next step.

      As I said, I regret that the results in the case caused the client to become dissatisified. I can't win them all; I can only give my best effort, which I did in this case.
