lawyer that cannot be trusted!

Michael Dwan is a motivated and conscientious defense attorney that exerts a lot of effort to make sure his clients' cases are analyzed and developed to their full potential before they are resolved. He is knowledgable about the law, and has excellent people skills - a must for any defense attorney. I was very appreciative of the time he took to explain the nuances of New York law to me.
