I thought I was on the set of Law & Order

I thought I was on the set of Law & Order when Mike Farrell delivered His closing arguments for my defense in my criminal trial. As a soldier and a patriotic American his speech moved me so much that I felt like I needed to stand and salute the American Flag. Mike Represented me in a very serious fel...ony assault trial where Local Police (in an anonymous jurisdiction in Berks County, Pa.) had stacked charges against me in the unjust manner that Police tend to do. I have friends who are Police Officers and I don't want to condemn all Law Enforcement, but there are some Police who are out of their minds with their power and tend to abuse it often. Stacking 5 serious charges that a jury took 15 minutes to deliberate on and come back with a NOT GUILTY on all 5 charges just proves that cops abuse their power even when it is plain to see that the so called "victim" was looking for any oppurtunity to sue someone because he was a dirtbag who didn't work and wanted to get set up for life. The alledged "Victim" was a drunk and a drug addict that brought his own injuries on to himself and wanted to blame them on someone else. Well...I am glad I hired Mike Farrell who should have charged alot more for his services (not that I had any more disposable cash to lay down) but Mike really worked his ass off for me and for a VERY Reasonable price. The cost for me if I had not hired Mike would have been astronomical as I had custody of my kids and a home and a Business property and business to lose. Mike Represented me in both the Criminal matter (which ended in an acquittal) and my Civil matter involving the same case. By the way the alledged "Victim's" Civil (ambulance chasing)attorney was a former Prosecuter that Mike defeated in a previous court case and the only experience he had with that unnamed attorney. God track record Mike !!!!!!! You are 2 for 0 with just that Sheister alone! I don't want to lump all lawyers in a category either but lawyers are hard to trust. Where do their loyalties lie???? With Mike Farrell his loyalties lie with his client. Honest, Straight Forward, No Bullshit! An Amazing Attorney. Hire him and watch him in amazement as he works! Thanks Mike!
