Highly suspicious of the 5 star reviews. Scam.

Contacted Michael after a rough night and an extensive Google search. He seemed to be the name popping up at the top of the queries and he answered when I called. I felt like the initial phone call went well, he seemed knowledgeable and professional in addition to sounding optimistic regarding my oui... offense. What a difference to the sit down consult I next experienced. Here in front of me is this squirrelly guy with a dirty laptop and grubby office who remembers not even my name but nothing of my case that I had already in detail explained to him on the phone. He basically proceeds to tell me that I have no shot of obtaining a not guilty verdict but has no problem with taking $2000 from me (his rate if it doesn't go to trial, he told me $6000 more if it does) for literally zero work. He made it seem like my only option and I was desperate. On the one and only court date in Attleboro (where I'm found completely guilty) his associate shows up (not even him), no exaggeration, 2 hours late. I honestly could have done when she did with no law degree. No effort whatsoever put in to fight for me. I am furious that I paid this man even one cent for the nonexistent attention he paid to my case. Don't be fooled by the 10/10. I was. It's a total scam. I want my 2K back.

I apologize if you felt the service was unsatisfactory; however, I would appreciate it if you would contact me at 781-686-5924 to discuss what you mentioned in your post. I never heard anything from you and was not informed of any issues. It appears that when we met I told you I thought your case would have to be resolved by plea and that it was a strong case against you. At the first appointment, I give my assessment of the case and thoughts on it. If you are unhappy with my strategy, you are free to hire another lawyer. At the start of the case, I want clients to know my thoughts on the case. It appears from your post that you knew my thoughts on the case from the start. Again, I would ask you to call so I can hear about your issue over the phone. To other clients reading this review, I have been handling DUI defense for over 15 years. The other 79 Reviews are the result of our hard work in trying to provide the best defense available. I work very hard to not only provide a top defense in court but to keep clients informed throughout the process. I am at my office until 10 pm most nights to try to provide the best service to clients. We have become successful because of this dedication and being extremely easy to reach for clients.
