Life is amazing, and Hope is never lost.

Almost two years ago, I put myself in a situation that could have changed the path of my life. My career, jobs, and most importantly staying in this country was at serious risk. After a late night of working, I was heading home in the Northborough area and my worst fear happened, I was pulled over ...and charged with my first DUI. It felt like a dream, and when it finally hit me in the police station I just couldn't believe that I had ruined my life. A DUI affects many people in your life, and the consequences are catastrophic. When I was out on bail, I went back home and googled: BEST LAWYER IN MA FOR DUI. I called the highest rated ones early the next morning, and out of all of them Michael was the only one that picked up (It was a Sunday morning). I told Michael what happen and how I chose not to take the breathalyzer. After he listen and told me my options, he said I had a good case. I decided to take a chance and hire him, and in the end it was the best decision. Michael had a plan ready to fight my case and the first thing he asked was for video evidence. I don't know if what happened next was magic or God but somehow my video of the booking was lost by the police department and was never provided to us. In trial the loss of video was the main reason why the judge found me NOT GUILTY. From the beginning Michael and Julie were so awesome and understanding, and at some points I was probably annoying with all the texts and emails I sent them both. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Michael and Julie, I was finally able to be myself after two years. It feels like I was given another chance to do everything I want to do in life. I don't wish this on anyone because a DUI trial is horrific, but I would recommend Michael to anyone who fines themselves in a similar situation.

Thank you for your review. One of the things I like to obtain when helpful is video evidence. In your case, the report was fairly strong on its surface; when that is the case, we need to try to find evidence that will negate that either through a video, witnesses or something that will change the focus of the case from the officer's testimony. We have had cases like this before and our strategy worked out. I am glad you can put this behind you and wish you the best of luck with your job.

Absolutely Brilliant.

I was facing an OUI charge. I did my homework researching the laws, penalties and fines a bit before calling any lawyers for initial consultation. I spoke to about 4 of them and got pretty hopeless as I found some lawyers to be a bit discouraging. Some of them knew just as much as I did and some of t...hem was a straight up scam! It was a brutal experience. Luckily, I looked for one more and landed on Mike’s website. I first watched his videos where there was just something about him that made me trust him. I then read his ebook and was amazed by how much he knew about the law. At first I thought he was too good to be true so I called him and he immediately picked up the phone! I was shocked as I was expecting a secretary to answer the phone. I remember that phone call clearly, I was completely worried and down but he was so confident and cheered me right up; Mike has this human element to him which I really appreciated. He gave me hope that we could fight this charge together as I was completely terrified of the future. At the time, I was still in school and close to graduating so I was constantly worried that my career was in jeopardy and my life, over. I was not used to putting all my eggs into a basket but all I had was Mike and his process. Every time I felt uneasy, I gave him a call and each time he helped me through despite how much of a wreck I sounded. Along the way, I also met Julie who was equally vital in keeping me hopeful. They make such a wonderful team. Finally, the trial came. At that point, I was ready for anything that was about to happen. There I was, standing in front the judge completely vulnerable. Mike did his lawyer bit and then the judge looked at me and told me my case was dismissed. It felt unreal and within the snap of a finger, my life resumed from such a horrible nightmare. I felt like a human being again. I am forever grateful for Mike and Julie. Thank you so much.

thank you for your review; I appreciate the comments because one of the things we work hard to do is make the process between the charge and actual outcome the best that it can be; we sometimes cannot control the outcome, but we try to do our best to reduce the anxiety as much as possible. It was a pleasure to help you out; and I wish you the best of luck in your career and with the rest of your time in school.

What an amazing attorney he is worth every dollar!

I cannot express the gratitude towards both Michael and Julie for their amazing work and help. It was a very stressful event and they certainly put me at as much ease as possible. From start to finish it took 14 months and all the way through they were both very engaged with me. Today was worth the w...ait, Michael was great in court and I was rightfully found not gulity. I would recommend Michael and Julie over and over again.

Thank you for your review; I will be sure to let Julie know about your appreciate for her work on your case. The case took a little longer than expected due to an extra legal issue we had to address, but I thank you for your patience through the case. It was a pleasure to work with you in what was a difficult time. I wish you the best of luck with your career and thank you for posting this.

Case Dismissed

I hired Mike to defend me in an OUI case in Lynn District court. I paid him once, up front, and he promised to stay with me until the case was done. 2 1/2 years and 12 court appearances later the case was finally dismissed and Mike kept his word. He was there every time and never asked for another p...enny. Thanks Mike, you and Julie are awesome. Lee

Thanks, I can never anticipate which cases will have legal issues; so we charge one fee with the goal of winning the case regardless of how long it takes. Your legal defense required us to monitor a case in a higher court in Massachusetts and it was worth the wait as you found out. Thank you for your patience during this process; it was a pleasure representing you.

Thank You

If you are ever in the unfortunate position of being charged with an OUI, I highly recommend Mike Delsignore. Reviews of Mike were strong (and with good reason) so I hired him and he immediately got to work, listening carefully to all the details of my case. Throughout the entire process Mike was hel...pful and clearly understood the process better than anyone around. When the week of the trail arrived, Mike communicated with me frequently and I felt prepared and much less nervous. His familiarity with Worcester District Court went a long way in my not guilty verdict, and for that I am incredibly grateful.
