Michael Never Gave Up On my Mom

Today we celebrate an important milestone in my mom’s life. After 14 years of waiting, ongoing legal battles, endless procedural processes, Michael did what no other lawyer could do for us or even wanted to try… my mom has become a resident of the US!!! Michael took my mom’s challenging case, well aw...are of the challenge ahead and the uphill battle this would be, but his optimism and hard work never wavered. Thanks Mike and team for this incredible victory!!! Could not ask for a better Christmas gift!!

The lawyer who gave me my life back!!

I cannot recommend Mike Edmonds highly enough. When facing serious felony weapons charges across multiple counties, Mike’s expertise and dedication made all the difference in my case. He meticulously researched the legal precedents that applied to my unique situation and crafted a compelling motion t...o dismiss that addressed every aspect of my case. What impressed me most was Mike’s attention to detail and his ability to identify the constitutional arguments that ultimately led to the dismissal of my charges. He was always accessible when I had questions and took the time to explain complex legal concepts in ways I could understand. He fought tirelessly on my behalf, challenging the prosecution at every turn. Mike’s strategic approach and extensive knowledge of Georgia firearms law proved invaluable. He didn’t just represent me - he genuinely advocated for me. If you’re facing serious criminal charges, Mike Edmonds is the attorney you want in your corner. His work has given me my life back, and I will be forever grateful.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

100% Certified

If your reading this, then trust and believe when I say this man knows his way around the judicial system. I was facing potentially 4 felony charges and many years of probation. He assured me from the day we sat in his office that I would not be a felon and options were on the table. Today I am not a... felon and the charges were dismissed in motions court. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing them.

Mike Stays the Course, Gets the Result He Promises

My case pertained to an outstanding student loan debt which had fallen off my credit report and was more than 15 years old. On the eve of purchasing my first home, the National Collegiate Trust attempted to revive a default judgment they were able to get against me almost a decade prior without prop...erly serving me any notice to appear in court. I had no idea what to do; I just knew they could put a lien on the house before I had even finished signing the paperwork to buy it. Mike came recommended by a close friend and his fees were incredibly reasonable considering the money he ultimately saved me in the end. He stayed on with my case for almost a year, providing me updates every step of the way. He studied the precedents that worked and didn't work for similar cases all over the country and successfully pressed for dismissal once he realized the NCT hadn't done their due diligence in properly serving me or actively pursuing the debt in years prior. They ran out the clock and tried to reactivate it when it was more convenient for them and Mike called that out in writing and won for me. I cannot recommend this man and his dogged persistence enough. He will serve you and well for as long as is needed to see your case through to the end.
