Outstanding attorney! ⭐

I would like to leave my review about attorney Michael M. Fanous. I am sincerely very satisfied with his work and can confidently say that he is a true professional in his field. Previously, I had an unsuccessful experience with another attorney: my case was dragged out for almost a year and resul...ted in additional financial expenses that could have been avoided. After Michael took over my case, the situation changed completely. In just one court hearing — literally within 30 minutes — he resolved all of my issues. I received everything I was hoping for: all the terms and outcomes I requested were fully accomplished. I would also like to highlight his professionalism and his attitude toward clients. For me, it was very important to feel support and understanding, and with Michael, I felt that at every stage. I always knew I was in safe hands. He stayed in touch, explained every step, and provided very strong support. His assistant also always responded promptly to calls and helped with every request — this is truly a strong and well-coordinated team. But most importantly, it’s how he works in court. I saw it with my own eyes. He defends his client’s interests not just as an attorney — but like a strong lion, a true protector who stands for you until the very end. In those moments, you realize that you have someone by your side who will fight for you, stand up for your position, and not allow anyone to take advantage of you or leave you unprotected. This feeling of confidence is impossible to put into words. If you find yourself in a difficult situation and feel like there is no way out — believe me, there is. And Michael is exactly the person who will help you get through it with dignity and results. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking not just for an attorney, but for a strong, reliable, and truly dedicated advocate. Thank you so much for your professionalism, your support, and your compassion!

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have had the opportunity to work alongside and co-counsel with Michael Fanous on some cases for nearly two years, and I have seen firsthand how hard he fights for his clients. Michael truly cares about the people he represents, and he is not afraid to put in the work, ask the tough questions, and fight for the best possible outcome. He is especially knowledgeable when it comes to handling criminal cases in Union County. Whether he is representing someone in Monroe, Waxhaw, Weddington, or elsewhere in the county, he knows the local courts and understands how to navigate the system. What stands out most to me is how much Michael invests in his cases. He is prepared, strategic, and relentless when it comes to advocating for his clients. Having worked with him personally, he is someone I trust and would confidently recommend. If you need a criminal defense attorney in Union County, he is your guy!"
