Criminal Defense Lawyer

Mike got my charge dropped down from a felony to a misdemeanor with no jail-time. By doing that he saved me from going 2 prison. I was on probation at time of offense, so now I have a probation violation and Mike said that he would help me free of charge. The reason being that I payed him 2500.00 for... the case that got me the violation. I know a lot of lawyers would have tried 2 get more $$ out of me, but not Mike. Hoping n praying not to get in anymore trouble, but if so, I’ll call n hire him again.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Mike responded quickly to my call on a Friday evening and was able to get my family member out of jail first thing Monday morning. He was responsive and knowledgeable about the process. Mike is a fantastic attorney! You can't go wrong with him in your corner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
