When i didnt know what to do!

Traffic ticket
Michael was very helpful every step of the way. I highly recommend this law office if you need help with traffic tickets in Ny. Speeding ticket pled down to a $50 parking ticket for West Seneca. Thank you Michael!

Never showed up to my arraignment.
Mike is a very intelligent lawyer, and is definitely one of the best. My problem was that he wasn't great with communication like his reviews say he is.

Barry I'm a little surprised to hear this from you. My understanding is that your somewhat serious criminal charge was wrapped up in its entirety in 1 Court appearance with no criminal record, no jail, no probation, no evaluation, etc. As you know, we are one of the busiest criminal defense firms in Buffalo, which is why I rely on associate attorneys to handle some misdemeanor arraignments. Sorry to "disappoint" Barry. Best of luck.

Speeding ticket
I would highly recommend Michael T. Dwan to anyone looking for a friendly and reliable lawyer. I have taken two speeding tickets to him and was pleased with the outcome for both.
"Michael is knowledgeable and driven. His accomplishments speak for themselves. Also, he is accessible and compassionate with clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"I see in Michael an attorney with an incredible amount of passion in advocating for his clients, as well as someone with great attention to detail. I give the strongest possible endorsement to Michael Dwan."
"I have known Mr. Dwan for over ten years. He is an outstanding attorney and even better person. He fights hard for his clients to get them the best result. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. 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. He is easy to talk to, and clearly cared about giving me accurate advice. I will certainly recommend his services to my brother in New York State should the need arise. Thanks again Michael."
"I endorse this lawyer 100%. Mr. Dwan practices at the top of his field. He is highly knowledgeable and very aggressive in getting the best results for his clients."
"10 years of practicing law is experienced. Knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions. Client reviews are stellar. READ THEM! Do yourself a favor if you are in or near Buffalo and schedule a consultation."
