I got lucky with my lawyer

I was given Mr. Gough as counsel because of a conflict and i am very glad luck turned out that way. He was great and always kept me informed, even though i am incarcerated. I am looking forward to squashing my DUI case with him in the new year!

NO REPRESENTATION, CASE OVERLOAD, TAKE MONEY FOR NO WORK

THIS ATTORNEY WAS ASSIGNED BY LEHIGH COUNTY COURTS TO REPRESENT ME. WHEN I LOOKED UP ACTIVE CASES HE WAS WORKED DURING WHILE (NOT) WORKING ON MINE...I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, " SELF, HOW COULD THIS GUY HAVE THE TIME TO WORK ON MY CASE AND PREPARE WITH SO MANY OTHER CASES HE WORKED ON PRIVATELY AND CONTRAC...TUALLY THROUGH THE COURTS." WELL, HE DID NOT. THAT EXPLAINED IT. HE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HE DID NOT REVIEW AND CASE RECORDS, HE DID NOT MAKE ANY REQUEST, DISCOVERIES, REBUTTAL ANY ALLEGATIONS, HE DID NOT FILE MOTIOINS-NOTHING. HE REFUSED MY REQUEST FOR TRIAL. HE TOOK TAX PAYER MONEY AND EXPLOITED A VULNERABLE LOW INCOME FAMILY. I WOULD EVEN SAY HE INTENTIONALLY ALLOWED THE COURTS TO VIOLATE MY RIGHTS AND SYSTEMICALLY ABUSE ME BY FORCING ME WITH THREATS AND FEAR TO SIGN AND AGREE WHEN I DID N OT WANT TO. HE WAS A WASTE OF TAX PAYER MONEY AND THREAT TO PEOPLE IN THE LEHIGH COUNTY. THE BEST PART WAS WATCHING HIM SIT FOR 3-4 HOURS IN THE COURT HALLS WAITING TO BE CALLED INTO COURT CHATTING IT UP WITH THE OTHER LEHIGH COUNTY PUBLIC WORKERS . HE MUST ENJOY GETTING PAID WHILE NOT EVEN ATTEMTPING TO WORK ON ANY HIS CASES. I WONDERED, HOW MUCH TAX PAYER DOLLARS IS THIS COSTING US? HOW MUCH DOES HE REALLY DO ON THESE TYPES OF CASES?

The best Attorney

Mr Michael Gough is a top-notch professional that I hired time after time and he never disappointed! His experience is priceless, very knowledgeable, and explained to me all the legal terms and procedures in a simple language I can understand! He is very respectful unlike a lot of attorneys out there..., and moreover, he helped me win! He tells you exactly what to do/not do to avoid being legally in trouble! He returns calls/emails as soon as he can, unlike a lot of attorneys whom you can never reach! Hired him for family law, will hire him again if I need an attorney for anything. Highly recommend.

Very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and courteous

I would highly recommend Attorney Michael Gough! I needed legal help with a Real Estate situation and Attorney Gough was very knowledgeable with the law, and my rights. Not only was he very professional and honest with helping me, he was willing to spend the necessary time to make sure I understoo...d what what happening. He had a genuine interest in making sure I understood everything.
