Smart and Thorough Defense

I have used Michael Nolans attorney services on a couple of occasions. He stood up in court a couple months ago on a case that could have gone 50/50, and gave one hell of a presentation to the judge on my behalf. He is competent and knowledgeable about the laws. I would not hesitate to use his servic...es in the future if needed.

Meticulous, honest and fair...

Mr. Nolan paid close attention to the facts of my case and made several suggestions based on relevance during the course of discovery. His guidance, judgment, and experience helped reduce my very serious situation to a moderate and much less severe penalty. If you're looking for a highly skilled att...orney with the experience and knowledge to navigate difficult cases, Mr. Nolan is your champion. I've known him for better than a decade and have used his services many times on many fronts. I'm proud to be his client, but more importantly, I'm grateful for all his help. He is one of the few attorneys I've met that is willing to go that extra little bit. Which makes the huge difference between a huge problem or a minor issue. Furthermore, he never promises something he cannot deliver and is as straightforward and ethical as they come.

Criminal Defense Attorney

I would like to thank Mr. Nolan for all his assistance and support. From the first time we met, his understanding and caring was exactly what was needed. Mr. Nolan worked with me closely and explained all options in detail. In the end, I could have not asked for a better outcome.

Highly recommended

Excellent, professional and courteous service. Mr. Nolan provided information for my case from all perspectives, prior to being hired. He did not sugar coat any advise in my favor in order to get my business, he in fact turned me away feeling I would be wasting my money hiring him "in MY hopes of a ...dismissal" when evidence in my case was not in my favor. After dealing with other lawyers, I went back to Mr. Nolan to hire him based on his honesty and professionalism along with his knowledge of the law and works of the court system. When odds are not in your favor you will do better in court having a professional like Michael Nolan advocate between the court and yourself to get you the best results possible for your case / situation, and thats what he did for me. Mr. Nolan's office also makes communication easy with email and phone contact. All documents mailed to me were sent with a return addressed and stamped envelope to his office, I just had to read, sign, seal and drop documents in the mail, (Easy). I am 150% satisfied with his service and highly recommend Michael Nolan Jr. to anyone seeking a good attorney. Signed ... Always The Defendant
