Excellent Attorney - Again!

A correction to my earlier post titled 'Excellent Attorney.' The other attorney was Shannon Steele (not Michelle. So sorry Shannon!). Mike has now handled a fourth criminal summary case which was filed against me by the same cop. I didn't need to say a word. Just about as soon as the hearing sta...rted it was over. Mike knows the law and I will always reach out to him and his firm if needed. Obviously, hopefully never again.

Excellent Attorney

I have had to deal with a crooked bully cop who feels he has a right to file bull%$& charges against me on several occasions now . In each instance, I have been found not guilty thanks to Mike and another attorney in the firm, Michelle Steele. For those who have written less than favorable reviews,... don't forget two things 1.) lawyers in general are not cheap and each phone call or email you send requires their time (which is money) and 2.) because you do not get a response does not mean they are not on top of it. It can be nerve wracking going to court for even a traffic ticket, and so you may wish that they were at your fingertips, but you have to have faith that they know the law and will handle it! They are very good and come prepared to court.

Very upsetting experience!

I hired this criminal lawyer but never received the service promised AFTER I had paid him a retainer. Not sure how to go about getting my money back now, but probably pay another lawyer to help me get it back. I wish I had read the reviews here first before hiring him.

Very Happy

I utilized Michael Santicola and his partner for three cases...Personal Injury, Criminal and Land problems. They won all three cases and were very fair in the billing and time for me to satisfy my bill. I will use them for all my legal matters.

Not a good experience!

Michael Santicola was recommended to me but never again would I use his service. Once I had retained him he was never available, this lawyer is expensive and very unreliable. I ended up hiring a different lawyer for my criminal case and are still in the process of getting my retainer back from Santi...cola. That probably will never happen. Stay away from this lawyer he will take your money and run.
