Outstanding Service

I was extremely pleased with the outstanding representation I received. Michael's knowledge in his areas of expertise, was impressive. Michael kept me informed throughout my case and was always available when I had questions. I would highly recommend!

Great Representation

I was extremely pleased with Mr. O'Sullivan. I had been facing an open container charge, which he was able to have completely dismissed. I would absolutely recommend his services.

Miracle worker...

Mr. O'Sullivan was able to get my DUI charge dropped to a reckless driving ticket. I still had to do ADSAP classes, but I was able to obtain a provisional license during that time and when the class was over I was able to get my full license back. It was a miracle that he got the DUI dropped because ...I cut off an officer while making a turn and my breathalyzer was through the roof. He maintained contact with me throughout the entire case and never left me in the dark. If I ever get myself into a situation like this again, he will be my first choice as an attorney.

Charged with a Dui

I never had to go to court! He went to my court hearings for me! My DUI was dropped completely and I had to pay a $155 fine for driving an unregistered vehicle. He was great!

solid and steady

I received his phone number from a third party and called him. He responded in minutes. I am confident in him because of his past work and positive connections at the Conway courthouse. He seems very easy to talk to and he exudes confidence in his capacity to get the job done.

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.
