Fantastic Attorney

I was caught speeding in an area where the construction zone sign was hidden - being from Canada I was not familiar with this area in Niagara Falls .I was facing a huge fine and points off which they report in Canada.I spoke to several lawyers and Michael was very well spoken confident and know...ledgable about this area of law. His fee was very reasonable .He is well respected in the court and got the ticket reduced to a non moving offense and a conditional discharge. It was a very intimidating process an it was great to have him with me in court.I am a doctor and I need my drivers license. I am very grateful that I found Michael and I give him the highest recommendation . (He is friendly and down to earth also.) Best of the Best !!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
