Michael Edward Waltman

Mr. Waltman represented me in two criminal cases. His intelligence and relentless desire to place the client’s wellbeing at the center of his objective was evident during the first ten minutes of my initial consultation with Michael. Michael’s responses were never less than assiduously researched, and his message was always tactfully communicated to all channels of the judicial hierarchy, from a fellow individual awaiting trail, to law clerk and judge. He was assertive, yet respectful, in the courtroom. I could write novels regarding Michael’s brilliance, but Michael possessed something special - and something you could not learn from a book. He was humane, attentive, understanding, and a truly good man. He genuinely cares about his clients, and never once vain nor pretentious. Michael even took it upon himself to read the confusing law jargon/inconspicuous details for all pages requiring signatures “loud enough” for the less fortunate defendants whose lawyers or public defenders did not show for various court sessions. On multiple occasions, Michael was the only lawyer present. This was just another proven act of Michael’s sincere dedication. And, it was a major plus to have his down to earth wit and humor during my journey! He saved me on a few occasions from leaving the court room in tears. While my journey with Michael has come to end (and I speak only in the interest of my sake that I never need his services again!), Michael continues to reach out on occasion to check in. Michael continuously reaffirms my decision to hire his services, and I would undeniably recommend Mr. Waltman to anyone in need of representation.

Mr Waltmon got my dwi charges dismissed and helped prove my innocence. I am very happy that I hired him. His patients and resolve helped me remain calm throughout the entire stressful situation. I would recommend him to anyone in need of help.

Michael Waltman represented our son in a double homicide case where the Commonwealth charged our son with two counts of first degree murder. The Commonwealth was adamant, all the way through the jury trial, that the deaths were executed with premeditation and malice. Mr. Waltman’s professional legal skill and competencies were instrumental in persuading the jury to return a not guilty verdict on all counts of murder and manslaughter, thereby giving our son his freedom back. Mr. Waltman’s careful assessment and thorough exploration and analysis of the evidence enabled him to recognize, prepare and vigorously argue a self-defense case. He uncovered every stone in his quest for evidence and discovery. He followed every lead and countered the prosecutors every move with tangible and relative evidence and witness accounts. He evaluated and scrutinized the evidence and voice recordings with a critical eye/ear and called out material discrepancies in the transcripts. He employed the best scientific methods and professional expert witnesses to establish facts critical to the case. These services were imperative to the case and he managed those expenses as our fiduciary with good stewardship. Mr. Waltman continuously made himself accessible to us over the entire course of 13 months and always kept us informed every step of the way. He gave us much confidence and peace of mind throughout the long ordeal. Moreover, Mr. Waltman’s visits were of much encouragement to our son throughout his incarceration. And he served as a conduit for us in communicating matters of privacy. Mr. Waltman is very careful, thoughtful and deliberate when speaking. Notwithstanding, he was quick to make objections and challenges to the application of law, while showing all the courtesies and respect due the court. He speaks with candor and is a person of integrity and unquestionable honesty who values the truth. In court, he was exceptionally articulate. Beginning with his opening remarks, he laid out the flaws and weaknesses in the case that the prosecutor would put forward, while establishing the foundation for his defense in simple, concrete terms. His arguments were well constructed and compelling, leading the jury to make sensible conclusions. This proved to be an exhausting trial to prepare for, but that didn’t deter Mr. Waltman from working the case long after his budgeted hours were spent. He freely devoted his personal time to work the case and labored tirelessly during the 10-day trial. We were well served to have our son represented by Mr. Waltman and will forever be grateful.

Attorney Waltman beyond exceeded my expectations. He devoted his time to me in order to have a thorough understanding of my situation and applied that knowledge in court. He was well-prepared and decimated the prosecution with planned and precise questioning. As a result, all 7 of my charges were dismissed at the preliminary hearing. Had it proceeded to trial, I am confident to say he would have represented me extremely well. I highly recommend Attorney Waltman to anyone with DUI charges. He saved me from a very lengthy license suspension, an enormous amount of financial debt, possible jailtime, etc..Most of all Attorney Waltman restored my integrity.

After being arrested in January for DUI and Fleeing charges. My wife found Mike on this webpage. Being that I had never been arrested before I was pretty worried. Mike was very good at putting my mind at ease. He let me know exactly what would happen and when it would happen. Anytime I had a question or a concern about anything I could call and he would either answer right away or call back within minutes. (I hear this is rare) Mike was able to get me into the ARD program and my wife and I are extremely pleased with Mr. Waltman. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Counselor Waltman demonstrated a very high level of hard work and dedication to me as a client. I highly recommend his services.

I hired Michael Waltman to help me get my suspended drivers license restored.He was very knowledgeable and had everything settled in a couple of months.I was very pleased with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone.

I was pleased with the the professionalism he was always a phone call away Mike picked up my call anytime . Knew a Lot of information would give me worst-case best case scenario. He had Great Communication with the police officer and the district attorney . It was my first offense DUI third tier with a hit and run needless to say he got my off with zero charges now I can say I learned a great lesson but also gained knowledge of a great attorney who I would use again if I need too but fingers crossed I hope never to again!!!!!

Mr. Waltman recently represented me against felony charges related to the sale/transfer of firearms. From day one he put me (and more importantly my wife) at ease. Personable, fairly priced and quick to respond to any questions. In the end Mr. Waltman had the case dismissed at the preliminary hearing.

Michael did a fantastic job making the very best out of a horrible situation. Everything that could be done to make my case smooth and efficient, he made it happen. Professional, nonjudgmental, and knowledgeable; everything you need in a DUI attorney. Highly recommended!!
