Best lawyer ever!

Thank you for representing our president and defending the constitution. We need more people like you in this world!!

So entertaining, so epic

Watching you defend Trump was epic. Remember what happened when you basically screamed “I have no idea how the senate works!” (Laughter). Let us all know how it works when you try to get 300 witnesses, including Nancy Pelosi, deposed in your office in philly-delphia! “It’s how the law works”. No one told you a senate impeachment trial isn’t a criminal trial, and that the rules were different? There is good news! Professor Raskin will school you again if you enroll and pay tuition

David Kline

Litigation Attorney | Jan 10
Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is the whole package, the ultra rare breed of a true PI trial lawyer and a true courtroom criminal defense lawyer. There is only one other lawyer I know in the last 22 years who is superb, like Mike, in both areas. Mike is equally skilled at defending someone in a homicide case or representing a catastrophically injured person with inadequate apparent liability coverage, the so called coverage tragedy. I had a co-plaintiff with him once. He had incredibly creative theories on the case that caused him to recover every possible penny for his client. I rode his coattails, and learned much from him as he triumphed over the 12 defense attorneys in the case."
