Prompt Response, Personal Relationship, Improbable Results

After receiving a ticket for reckless driving (at a rather ridiculous speed), I experienced an influx of mail from law firms all over the 757 area. It seemed as though I just made a score of new friends, considering how much they promised to fight for me and my case. All of them initially sounded ...like good options, but only one of them stood out; that was Mr. Huff. And he stood out for two reasons. One: He charged the lowest fee of any firm that contacted me. Two: He provided me with his cell phone number to contact him. As a college student, I look for whatever opportunities I can find that will save me money, save when those "opportunities" end up costing me more thanks to their lessened value. I also appreciate when individuals try their hardest to make themselves available for others. Because of this, I decided to give Mr. Huff a try. And through that, I learned two things. One: That low fee paled in comparison to the high-value lawyer that I hired. Two: That promise of a lawyer who will fight for you as a friend is a promise that Mr. Huff takes seriously. Mr. Huff did not hesitate to answer any of the questions that I had, even before I paid him a single cent. Mr. Huff treated me like more than a client for the entire duration of my case, from my first call to the months of preparation to its resolution. And thanks to Mr. Huff, the judge's decision that I heard in the courtroom was far better than I could have imagined. I would recommend Mr. Huff to anyone caught in the same ugly situation that I was in, and I have no doubt that he will perform just as excellently for you as he did for me.

Michael Huff is the lawyer to call!

I received a reckless driving ticket and I contacted Michael Huff. He was very professional answered every question and every concern. When we went to court the reckless driving ticket was dropped to improper driving-he was amazing. If we ever need a lawyer - he’s the man I will contact Mich...ael Huff.

Best Lawyer I've ever had

After I had put my car through a telephone pole on a cold wet april night, I found myself facing a DUI and a reckless driving charge. After shopping around for a lawyer for a few days I called Mr. Huff, and he gave me the impression that he really cared about me and would give me the best representat...ion that I could hope for. over the following 3 or so months he kept me up to date with the states BAC results and strongly urged me to have an independent lab run the second sample, which ultimately turned out in my favor. He also reviewed hours of body camera footage from the arresting officer and found a lapse in procedural compliance which also ended up in my favor. He spent I don't know how many hours researching past cases for precedent that matched the details for my case. After all the research and planning he met with me and explained everything he had found making sure that I understood all the details. He then explained the strategy he wanted to implement and asked my opinion on how I wanted to proceed. Ultimately we ended up briefing the prosecuting attorney of our evidence and they countered with a plea deal of a reckless driving charge. Michael Huff really cared and spent alot of time on my case getting the best results I could hope for, when most other lawyers would have taken my money and not put forth any effort.
