Great Lawyer

I hired Michael in April of last year and was very pleased with him and the outcome he was able to reach in my case. I believe Michael is a great lawyer. He was sincere and truly cared about my case and took clear steps to show this throughout the proceedings. Michael was attentive to details, effici...ent, and knowledgeable. He demonstrated a strong understanding of Virginia law and was able to relay his knowledge to me in a way that was easy understand even when I had little law background. I would highly recommend hiring Michael May if you want a job done well and with integrity.

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney!

I just want to say that Mike May did an outstanding job in the defense of my Daughter! He was very honest and upfront, and explained the entire litigation process from start to finish. He left no stone unturned, and we went to trial with a clear strategy, which far exceeded our expected outcome. T...he case was dismissed due to his tactful negotiating skills and knowledge of the law! He truly cares for the people he defends, and I will highly recommend Mike to anyone out there that needs a go-getter Attorney who understands the law and looks out for the best interest of his clients! He is truly a class act!
