Posted by Glenn | December 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Non-Arrogant , Well Educated , Intellgent Attorney...

I Received A Speeding Ticket Entering The Southern State Parkway In Central Islip .... The Entrance Ramp Is Not That Long & U Need To Accelerate Rather Quickly As To Not Be A Hazzard To On Coming Traffic , That Is Traveling @ 65 Miles An Hour .... The Trooper Pulled Me Over After I Traveled Only A ...1/4 Mile Or So On The Parkway... I Tried To Explain Why I Was Traveling Above The Speed Limit , Upon Entering The Parkway, To No Avail.... I Hired Michael Brown & He Had My Speeding Ticket Reduced To A Parking Ticket .... No Poi ts Went On My License, & My Insurance Did Not Go Up ( Which Both Would Of Occurred If The Speeding Ticket Wasn't Reduced To Parking ) ...

Honest, Forthright and Strong

My college aged son, never in trouble before, who lived at home, made a mistake in judgement. The was no property damage, nobody was injured and no drugs, alcohol or theft were involved. Instead my boy was clearly a victim of entrapment by 2 over jealous Suffolk Detectives looking for a quick and eas...y conviction. They coerced him, refused to let him call me until he signed a confession, and threatened he would spend at least a night in jail if he didn't obey. When we met Mr Brown, he promised he would not let the system or anyone in it bully my son any more and he would get the charges reduced to a minor misdemeanor, which he did. Mr Brown is a strong, experienced, well introduced attorney who keeps to his word. He saved my son's career, which is now budding and by doing so, he saved my son's life. If you need an intelligent, experienced tough guy lawyer.... you need Michael J. Brown.

The BEST!!!

Mr.Brown represented my son on a DWI. We were clueless how the system worked. He was patient and responsive. He is a master in the courtroom and hit it out of the park for my son!!

LOOK NO FURTHER, HE IS THE BEST!!

I consulted with mike regarding a matter for a family member, He was professional, very confident and put myself and my family at ease that the case would be handled and that the outcome would be positive, not to worry. Mike was true to his word and clearly is a master at his craft. I would highly r...ecommend him if you are in need of an attorney.
