Mike is a family and criminal law attorney in the Lancaster County area for eleven (11) years, his favorite part of practicing law is trying courtroom cases.
As a lifetime resident of Lancaster County, he feels a certain affinity for the county in which he grew up in and around the Millersville Borough/Manor Township areas.
He is a proud graduate of Penn Manor School District, where he played varsity basketball for the Comets, although he also played club lacrosse at Shippensburg University, basketball remains one of his favorite sports to this day.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and (4) children. He enjoys reading and watching movies, Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising are two of his favorite books. Although he has read Goodfellas he finds the movie was much better.
One of his most memorable cases was representing a client in a child custody case. This client was in need of representation after losing custody of his son following a voluntary in-patient rehab stay for his heroin addiction. Over the thirteen (13) months that followed, Mike was successful in obtaining shared physical custody for his client.
“I will always look back at that case as one of my biggest achievements!” -Mike

Very experienced
Michael McHale was an excellent attorney for my custody case. It was the most difficult thing I have ever gone through in my life and he remained calm and collected, and was also very honest. He did not promise results that he could not achieve. I am very thankful for his help.
