Michael Terkanian is an excellent lawyer; he is extremely patient and explains unknown legal terms in great detail. He answers questions in a timely manner and truly works to ensure his clients' success. I very highly recommend his services!
When a credit card company unlawfully (and unexpectedly) seized all my accounts and assets I thought that I was done for. I was referred to Michael the same day. He took on my case, researched and prepared without hesitation. The next day Michael showed up to court - prepared with a great strategy and won my case! Resulting in my assets returned to me in full. I will always be grateful for his due diligence, and dedication to my case. I've worked with countless lawyers, especially in the past year and Michael has been the only attorney to show up, communicate his strategy with me and deliver with flying colors! He is definitely the attorney for any job.
As a legal professional, I strive to understand the law and how it ultimately affects my clients. When a new client comes to me, the first thing I make sure they understand is that their problems become my problems. I can’t rest until I know the problem has been resolved and my client’s troubles are behind them.
To understand who I am and how I approach a legal issue, it’s important to know where I began. I started my career as a computer programmer, as I’ve been writing software since I was 9 years old. I was an owner and partner of a technology company for many years, and I’ve held many titles in my career, including lead developer, CTO and CIO. I made the transition to a legal career in efforts to help clear up some of the ambiguities often found when technology meets the law. I thrive on helping new companies understand how technology will strengthen their business, while assuring that they keep an eye on any legal issues that may arise while doing so. I fight diligently against the extortionist tactics often used by copyright and trademark trolls, and I make sure my client’s own intellectual property efforts are protected from abuse.
I believe in working together to come to an amicable resolution when a conflict arises, yet I won’t hesitate to apply the full force of the law when necessary. My vast background in business and technology puts me in the uncommon position of being able to fight for my clients rights from both legal and personal experience standpoints.
Give me a call and let’s resolve your problems/questions together.

My review on Michael T.
Initially trying to find a lawyer for my startup was hard. I probably had meetings with a dozen lawyers before Mike and I met. The moment we sat down to discuss my needs... I knew he was the guy for the job.
- He's not only a great lawyer.. But truly a great guy.
- We've been working together for 8 months. I am pleased with him and his work.

Amazing Lawyer for any Tech-Savy Business
I launched my company 18 months ago and Mike has been a major part of its success. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about business and contract law, but he was amazingly knowledgeable about the tech industry as a whole. His unique background in Programming, IT, Web Design, Graphic Design enabled him to bring an understanding of my business that a traditional lawyer could never do. Mike became a sounding board for new business ideas and helped us create focused business plans. He has continually gone out of his way every time I needed assistance and the turn around time and thoroughness in the contracts was outstanding. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a hard-working, brilliant, honest, trust-worthy and genuine lawyer. He definitely stands out in this industry as a leader and I am extremely grateful for all of his hard work. Without Mike's assistance my company would never have experienced the level of growth we've seen over the past year. He's style of lawyering is unique and he is always looking out for the best interest of his clients first.
