Posted by Kathy | February 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

He is a great attorney!

I had encountered with two counts of criminal charges three years ago. After interviewed a dozen of attorneys, I found Mr. Michael Engle. I knew I wanted to hire him from our first phone conversation. He is very knowledgeable and experience in what he does. Michael Engle did a great job in my cas...e. I was charged with 15 months in jail, he helped me achieved to 3 years probation instead. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Professional, Ethical, Very Effective and Straightforward, Highly Recommended

I used Michael`s services for the criminal litigation in Federal Court in Philadelphia. He managed to get the best outcome possible in my case. Mr. Engle is very straightforward, respectful and effective attorney. He always replied to my e-mails and returned my calls. In courtroom he was very direct ...and efficient. Unlike other lawyers I encountered during this experience, he never promised me unachievable results, never shugarcoated to me anything about the case. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone facing criminal charges.

Informing, congenial, and willing to help those who ask.

As an out-of-state resident with a family member in trouble, I needed to find a competent criminal attorney to address charges for an impending court date. I was referred to Mike Engle from the DA's office in my state noting that he was the President of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Attor...neys. I found Mike to be very responsive (he actually called me back the same day) and willing to step me through the legal process. He answered all of my questions in a very friendly manner. We covered the legal implications, the fees, the process, and the potential outcomes so that I felt that putting my trust into Mike's hands was the very best decision I could make after interviewing more than a half dozen attorneys. Now that the case has progressed, Mike has continued to be affable and reachable. I would highly recommend Mike as I have found him to be very competent and service-oriented - a true credit to his craft.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
