A lawyer that puts his clients first
I had the fortune of finding Michael T. Mullen’s web page after searching for Brooklyn criminal defense lawyers. I received a police summons to the 62th precinct because a tall 14 year old teenager accused me of pushing in down on the ground and threatening his life after failing to pick up his dog dropping several times in front of my house. I learned that it was best to hire an attorney to go talk to the police on your behalf to avoid self-incrimination and to avoid the central booking process. Michael represented me from the beginning of this case to the very end. He talked to the police detective and got me a desk appearance ticket instead of me having to sit in a jail cell for central booking for weeks. After the arraignment, the original plea deal called for an assault in the 3rd degree conviction, 20 days of community service, and 5 conflict resolution classes. Michael is persistent and would never take the first deal which would have left me with a criminal record and a rap sheet. After a few adjournments, Michael talked to the district attorney and convinced him to dismiss all the criminal charges and reduce the sentencing down to a disorderly conduct violation, a $175 fine that goes with the violation, 5 days of community service, and one conflict resolution class. Michael is honest, knows the best course of action to take, and puts his clients first over making money. Instead of taking an expensive attorney fee for trial which would have had bad results due to the fact that a 14 year old is involved and the DA could use this angle to give me a worse sentence, Michael advised me to take the deal he made because the deal produced a better outcome than the sentencing that have happened at a trial with a jury which would have favored the 14 year old. Overall, I am pleased with Michael and would highly recommend his legal services to anyone charged with a crime or in search of legal representation. I would call him again in case I get into another legal bind.

Attorney Michael Mullen
I had the opportunity and pleasure of being represented by Attorney Michael Mullen. He is an attorney who you can trust. He understands the circumstances and challenges that one goes through when falsely accused. He is an attorney who responds and gives 100%. Money is secondary. Principle is key with Michael. I recommend him over a thousand free attorneys. He is someone who is committed to justice and understands that truth will always rise above falsehood. He is one attorney that I would love to see as a judge one day. Thank you for all you have done Counsel.

5 Star Review
I have worked with Michael for several months. He is an excellent attorney. He is very straight forward and honest with clients. In his initial meeting he makes sure to give an easy to understand yet comprehensive explanation of the criminal charges in question, potential penalties and his strategy. He is very fair with his rates and will even recommend sticking to a legal aid attorney for clients who qualify in order to save them money (in the kinds of cases where a private attorney will not make a major difference).

Great Attorney
I hired Mr. Mullen to defend me against false assault charges. I was accused of breaking a bottle over someone's head in a bar. I had a previous lawyer for several months who was not helping very much. After hiring Mr. Mullen, he was able to get all the charges dismissed! I would highly recommend him to anyone charged with a crime.

Lucky to have Found Mr. Michael Mullen
Michael Mullen was the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From day 1 Michael made sure that I knew exactly what was going on, the scenarios that could possibly play out, as well as different directions we could possibly go. Without getting into to much detail of my situation, Michael was able to take and get me the best deal available, one that neither of us thought would actually happen. He came prepared every time we met with the AUSA department, and took the time to not just memorize my situation, but actually learned it. He was able to understand the whats, why's, when's and how's of my case, and know and fight for the best scenario possible for me. Anytime I needed something, or had a question, or had an issue (I live in Upstate New York, case was out of NYC) getting to the city, Michael was always there to make sure it was taken care of. Michael wasn't your run of the mill lawyer who is just there to defend you, he gave you the feeling that truly cared for my situation, and wanted the best for me. He went above and beyond for me. Yes, Michael was my attorney, but after everything, I now consider Michael a friend, and a life savior. I would recommend Mr. Mullen 100x over to anyone who finds themselves in a bind. He will make your issues his, and do whats best for you.

"Michael Mullen is an excellent trial lawyer, well respected by judges and opposing counsels. Genius strategist on how to approach a plea bargaining with prosecution and if not offered what his client is looking for, he will try the case. Michel obtained many acquittals on difficult felonies and misdemeanors. You should see him on trial and will understand that his clients are protected the most when he handles the case."
