"When I was a prosecutor, we knew Mike as a strong defense attorney. It was always a pleasure to work with Mike and his professionalism definitely got him good plea offers, but it was also his thoroughness and attention to detail that made him a strong litigator. I highly recommend Mike Ott."
"When I was an ASA, if I saw Mr. Ott was on the other side, I gave my file another once over. Now, as a fellow criminal defense lawyer, I routinely reach out to Mike to discuss cutting edge legal issues and tactics. Mr. Ott is an extremely hardworking advocate for his clients (who were always extremely well mitigated thanks to Mike). He is diligent and highly competent. I endorse him without hesitation."
"Mr. Ott is a skilled and knowledgeable attorney. We worked together on a matter and he diligently and competently assisted our mutual client. I was impressed with his response time, knowledge, and client centered approach. Individuals seeking criminal defense help should absolutely consider him."
