Excellent lawyer!

He was able to get my charge completely dropped. He was confident and knowledgeable without being cocky. He answered all of my questions without talking down to me and he was very professional. Highly recommend!

Great Lawyer

Was able to reduce reckless driving charge to just a fine and avoived possible jail time and license suspension. Mr. Huff cares about his clients. 10 out of 10.

Put at ease

I was very nervous about my son serving jail time and because of his medical condition that wouldn’t have been good for him but we all know that doesn’t matter to the courts. Mr. Huff was always in touch with us and there was never a long wait time for him to call back whenever we tried to contact hi...m. He guided us through every step and his recommendations goes a long way my son did not serve not 1 day in jail for his reckless driving. I just wish Mr. Huff handled all cases of law and did retainers because I would always want him on my side.

Successful domestic assault defense

I hired Michael Huff to defend my daughter from a domestic assault charge which had been filed against her by a police officer who claimed to have seen her slap her husband on the side of his head. The incident - which involved no injury at all to her husband - occured when she and her husband had ju...st come out of a paternity hearing in juvenile and domestic relations court where my daughter's husband had just been determined to have fathered a child with another woman. But the police officer refused to give any consideration whatsoever to the upsetting and provocative circumstances of the incident, and my daughter's husband - soon to be ex-husband - was unwilling to see the charge dropped. As such, Michael offered a deal that would have resulted in multiple abuse charges against my daughter's husband being dropped in exchange for dropping the single charge against her, but my daughter's husband and the prosecutor rejected that deal. They also objected to my daughter being granted any measure of leniency in the form of "first offender" status and my daughter's husband insisted that the case be brought to trial and my daughter prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fortunately, Michael's expertise, and his extensive knowledge of the law, helped him find a solution to the situation which spared my daughter the expense and embarassment of a trial and which convinced the judge to dimiss the charge against her. Michael is bright, talented, knowledgeable, organized, and driven to seek the best outcome for his clients. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Professional, Personable and Exceptionally Skilled!

Mr. Huff helped me with a reckless driving citation for a minor accident and was able to have the charge reduced to improper driving and a small fine. His knowledge of the law and how to apply it in my case was exceptional. We discussed my available options and the argument he would make on my beha...lf. He explained what he thought would be the most likely outcome. When it came time to appear in court, Mr. Huff was articulate and well prepared and everything happened exactly as Mr. Huff thought it most likely would. Mr. Huff interacted well with the Judge in my case and answered all his questions quickly and thoroughly. We were in front of the judge for no more than a few minutes and then I was on my way. I highly recommend Mr. Huff. His rates are extremely reasonable and worth every penny of his time.
