Thank you Mr. Brush

After two years in prison as a innocent man , on a drug sale charge. I was granted a new trial. Mr. Brush represented me . The trial lasted a week, it caused a tremendous amount of stress in me and I developed a erratic heartbeat. A visit to the family doctor, and under his advisement I was given a s...edative and ordered on bed rest. When I didn't appear in court for the verdict, Mr. Brush called me and when I explained what had happened he told me he'd try something. He called me back and said the court would come to my house. The judge jury and all, unimaginably arrived and continued the process, the verdict??? not guilty. Later the Forman of the jury called me on behalf of himself as well as all the members of the court to express how impressed they were with Mr. Brush, and he added you too. Mr. Brush also represented me when we went to the pentagon, to make right an injustice that had occurred 38 years prior to that day. The wrong was serving me with a un honorable discharge for my service in the U.S Army. A promise to my mother had been fulfilled when I was granted a honorable discharge. There you have it mom. Truthfully Salvador.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I have known Michael Brush for several years and he has handled several different cases for me and my extended family. He is masterful in criminal as well as civil matters. What separates Michael Brush from other attorneys is his sheer gift of lawyering. I have seen no better lawyer in court. He... is always well prepared, but what is exceptional is his genius legal mind. He knows the law and the court system. He is a very seasoned attorney.

THANK YOU MR. BRUSH

After two years in prison as a innocent man I was granted a new trial. MR. Brush represented me, the trial lasted a week which you could imagine caused a great deal of stress on myself and as a result I developed an erratic heartbeat. Under my doctors orders I was given a sedative and sent on bed res...t. When I didn't appear in court for the verdict Mr. Brush called me, and when I explained what had happened he told me he had an idea. He called me back and had informed me that the court would come to my home. The judge jury and all unimaginably arrived at my home and continued the process, the verdict??? not guilty. The foreman of the jury later called on behalf of himself and the judge to express how impressed they were with Mr. Brush, and he added you too. Mr. Brush also represented me when we went to the pentagon to make right an injustice that had occurred 38 years prior to that day. The wrong was serving me with a dishonorable discharge for my service in the U.S Army. A promise to my mother, after 38 years had been fulfilled when the judge granted me with a Honorable discharge. There you have it mom. In order to compensate my family and myself I became a bookie. I was arrested for a five dollar bet, the judge said I was going to prison for two years! Mr. Brush got a change of venue. The briefs summited to the judge, and the clerks office suspiciously disappeared. Mr. Brush was compelled to go to the district attorney's office, who in turn, testified to an assigned court that Mr. Brush, must have surely summited a brief to the judge and the clerk's office. Mr. Brush testified that he had represented the US government in Europe, practiced law in New York, and would never resort to false tactics. In the chance of venue, I went to jail for 30 days. I have recommended Mr. Brush to at least a dozen or so family and friends and all had nothing but great things to say about him. Truthfully yours, Salvador Reyes
