Posted by Adam | February 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Master of his craft.

i was arrested and hired an attorney because i thought it would all get dismissed within a few months, little did i know the lawyer i had didn't have my best interest at heart. i sought after Michael by looking at his past body of work and how experienced he was in my type of case. within the first 2... weeks i had more information about my case then i had the whole 8 months before. Michael and his partners are head and shoulders above my prior attorney and he is the reason i can sleep soundly at night. i would recommend him to anyone that needs a very experienced attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
