Our son had been living in a lot of stress and under alot of pressure . Long story short he was loosing his fight against a doward spiral , made some very bad decisions in the blink of an eye and got himself in a world of serious trouble . Not personally knowing any lawyers we turned to the internet ...after consulting with one lawyer who almost had us sold , we reconsidered and decided to get a second opinion . Mike was the other lawyer who immediately stood out to us when we were examining the long list of chester county criminal lawyers . Even though it was around miday his assistant nicole told us to come right in . Mike put us at ease and dis agreed with the first lawyer on the at the time most urgent issue , and said “ dont worry about that , i really doubt that will happen , but if it should just call me and i will be right there “. The other lawyer had us sold that it was going to happen and wanted nearly triple up front of what mike would charge IF , that highley unlikely situation did arise ! We were so impressed with his candor , that we hired him to represent our son , as he gave us an affordable fee instead of taking our chances with a public defender . Still there was a few months of stress and worry , but mike kept saying “ try to relax , trust me i know what im doing “. AND BOY ARE WE GLAD WE DID ! Everything worked out EXACTLY as he said it would !! I even appologized for second guessing him on something under all the stress . He said “ no worries its all part of the job . “ we pray we never have too , but we will go to him first if need be ! We have recommended him to all friends & family should they need a GOOD HONEST LAWYER !!

I will never forget the night I was charged with three misdemeanor drug offenses, just as I will never forget the morning when Mike helped get those same charges reduced. In the days between, I worried constantly about what would happen, and what implications it would have on my life. But, Mike was t...here every step of the way, diligently responding to my many emails and offering advice and a strategy that would end up leading to the best possible outcome that we could have achieved. He is a class act and a good lawyer. If you are in need, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not reaching out, even for just a consultation. Thank you Mike.

My son lives in VA and was visiting friends in West Chester. He was arrested and charged with DUI, reckless driving and speeding. I contacted Michael and, immediately, he made me feel at ease. He explained the process and exactly what to expect over the next 6 months to a year. Since we were out... of state, he worked with the courts to minimize our trips back and forth for court dates. Long story short, my son was accepted into the ARD program and his expungement of all the charges has been completed. Michael and Ashley kept us informed throughout the process and always returned our calls and e-mails promptly. You can't go wrong with his team!
