CDL Protection

Mr. Justice was very helpful in advising me on what to do with the 3 charges that were given to me. He was able to get 1 of the charges dropped and the other 2 reduced, so that I would not get any points put on my license...I must say that Mr. Justice fought hard for me in my defense on what was bein...g charged against me...Also well informed me with what was going to take place before entering the court room, as well as enlightening me on what I was going to have to do after we pleaded my case with emphasis I may add...Overall I could easily keep speaking on what Mr. Justice did for me and how helpful he was in handling my case with letting me know what was goin on...I would also like to say Mr. Justice will keep you calm at all times because of his demeanor

DWI Savior

I hired Michael Justice after seeing his performance in court one day. His confidence and professionalism was very impressive. My DWI charge seemed grim and I didn't have much hope that hiring a lawyer would do anything besides increase my overall cost. If I lost my license and received jail time, (w...hich would have been mandatory in my case), I was sure I would also lose my job and house. Michael was straightforward and honest about his thoughts on our chances in court. He was very reassuring and his confidence in how to handle my case and what steps to take throughout the process made me worry a lot less. Michael kept me constantly in the loop, he was available to take my calls or text messages. While I was a bundle of nerves on the day of trial, Michael was cool and confident walking into court that day. He seemed to know everyone at the court right down to the police. He stood up for me and fought for me and was able to save my license and keep me out of jail. Without Michael Justice as my lawyer, I know I would not have gotten as great a result. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
