Michael Andrew La Fratta

I had mr. la fratta as my court appointed lawyer last year for a criminal case and he was very good at his job I had nine charges against me and got them down to four and less jail time most recently he advised me to file a motion to modify my sentence and was kind enough to represent me I would high...ly recommend him he also stayed in contact with with me as well

Michael LaFratta is the most responsive attorney I have ever worked with and I highly recommend him if you're looking for a lawyer in the Richmond area. He was hired by my family to represent my son, who had a felony charge, which resulted form a short-term substance abuse problem he developed whil...e in college. Mr. LaFratta is honest and straightforward and really gives you an idea of what to expect. He did a great job of giving us the best and worst case scenarios so we knew exactly what might happen on court day. He also told us what he thought would be the most likely outcome, although he made it clear that the judge has the final say. He was highly responsive leading up to the court day via both email, text and phone. And he went out of his way to communicate with and even talk with the prosecutor in the Commonwealth Attorney's office in person to try to negotiate the best deal for my son. He was early on court day and met briefly with us prior to going in to court to make sure all bases were covered. He was great at every step of the process. I cannot stress enough what a difference to just know exactly what to expect and to be mentally prepared regardless of the outcome. In my son's case, the outcome was good. He was given the first-offender program and his case will be dismissed as long as he does everything right while on probation. For what Mr. Lafratta did, I deem his service to be very affordable. By the way, we initially had another attorney, which seemed to just want to settle for the status quo, which I found unacceptable when my son's future was at stake.

If anyone and I do mean anyone needs an attorney I would recommend Michael LaFratta. He is absolutely, positively, awesome. Mr. LaFratta is so caring and personal, and concerned about everything that was going on with our case. This man spent hours and hours helping us. There were many, many, ma...ny Emails that went back and forth between us, not to mention phone calls. He always kept on top of everything, with our case, and always made sure we knew exactly what was going on and exactly what to expect. He really knows what he is doing. He knows the law, inside out and he is very, very, very smart. He did such a wonderful job for us and took care of everything. There just aren't words to express how very, very, very much, we appreciate all he did for us and all the many hours he spent helping us. He is awesome! It was an honor meeting him and being able to work with him. I have never known any attorney that would do for you, what he did for us. GOD BLESS HIM!!!

Mr. LaFratta was referred to me by another attorney that did some work for me on a real estate matter. He did not disappoint. Very professional, proficient, and competent attorney that represented me on a traffic violation. I was extremely happy to finally work with someone whom provided the same ...level of service that I provide to my own clients on a daily basis. If you're reading this post, you can be assured Mr. LaFratto is a top notch attorney. And yes, I would hire him again!
