Not guilty on DUI involved in accident

Througout the entire process, from the inital meeting to the close.of trial Mike made me feel confident he was the right lawyer to represent my case. In those first days after the arrest Mike was extremely prompt, returning my call immediately and scheduled time to review the case right away. He ...quickly pointed out strengths and weaknesses to my case and advised on several ways to move forward. Because of my greencard status he consulted an immigration attorney and we quickly aligned on the strategy. I hired Mike because he was extremely knowledgeable about the law, has a lot of experience defending similar cases, was organized and very responsive and all around just a really nice guy who made it clear he was very invested in the case. Before trial he reviewed the case again with me and possible scenarios which made the day of trial a lot less nervewracking as I knew what to expect. His knowledge of the district court was key on trial day when he advised me to on a bench trial intead of jury because of prior experience with the same.judge. Throughout the full process I felt very confident in my decision to hire Mike. Thanks again Mike!!

Javier I appreciate your review. It is important for me to make sure everyone I represent has a realistic expectation of what will happen in court. I take pride in giving an accurate assessment that prepares the client and there family for the day in court. I am glad this case worked out for your daughter and she can go back to focusing on school, her job and family.

Extremely Knowledgeable, Responsive and Well-Prepared

I was arrested for OUI in summer of 2017 and needless to say, it was an extremely stressful experience. Being my first arrest and experience with the criminal justice system, I had no idea of what to expect. Mike met with me the day I was arrested, obtained the police report and assured me that I had... a winnable case. We also discussed the pro's / con's of other approaches such as a CWOF / 24D. In the end, we decided to go to trial. It was a long 9 months, between the arrest date and the trial, but Mike met with me several times to discuss the case and strategy. During the trial, Mike was able to discredit / identify inconsistencies with the officer's testimony, introduce reasonable doubt and point out the behaviors during the stop / booking that were inconsistent with an individual who was operating under the influence of alcohol. The Jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty" and I could not be more relieved. My strong advice is to hire Mike if you are in this situation - part of my decision was his extensive experience in dealing with these cases and his deep understanding of the law. You want an attorney who tries these cases regularly.

Thank you for your review. Helping people who are not use to the criminal process is an important part of the case,; I appreciate your comments on that aspect of the representation. An OUI trial is about showing that the officer’s observations can be explained by a number of things. What you saw is creating reasonable doubt by showing that the officer’s observations did not match up with the picture of someone drunk. In a criminal case, the Government is obligated to do this to the high degree of certainty required by proof beyond a reaonable doubt. As a lawyer, my job is to teach the jury what this means, that it is a high standard to convict someone of a crime in this country. I am glad that this case worked out for you and you are able to go back to focusing on your career and family.

Great Job!

Michael was great! He was very available along the way to answer questions and never made me feel rushed. During trial he presented a great case and demonstrated a lot of energy. He was great at cross-examining the witness and the result of his work and skill was the outcome we hoped for. I definitel...y recommend him!

Thank you I appreciate your comments. The cross examination is a key part of any OUI trial and I take a great deal of pride in using the Cross Examination to help prove our theory of the case. I appreciate your comment as well about having a high energy level; I always bring passion to the case because whether it is a judge trial or jury trial, whoever is deciding the case, I want to convey to them that this is an important case and I like the person I represent. It was a pleasure to help you out and I wish you the best of luck with your case. I was thrilled with the outcome and helping you to put this behind you, thanks again for the review.
