Michael S. LaScala

Michael provided excellent service! He is very knowledgeable of the law and spot on with the motions he filed, which resulted in my DUI case being dismissed! Definitely worth every penny!

After you get a DUI, you get piles of lawyers marketing your mailbox for business(which is a *super awesome* reminder that you just got arrested). Regardless of the mail received and the availability of googling reviews I tend to go with trusted friends' opinions' over best marketing material (sorry graphic designers and copywriters) for anything of importance. So I asked around to the people who knew, and it was pretty clear who the guy to call was(LaScala). So lets get some bullet points here: - He is super easy to get a hold of; e.g. , answers texts, returns phone calls, if not himself then Kelly, and is very pleasant and honest about the situation you are in. - His admin Kelly Madrid is always on top of it, if Michael is in court or whatever the case may be; she makes sure he gets back to you or gets your message. Any paperwork, or financial dealings will be dealt with promptly, and once again this is all with a friendly and pleasant tone. Don't get me wrong no one jokes around about the seriousness of a DUI charge, but I hope you understand my point: - The communication is rock solid. Which is important extra important when dealing with a stressful topic. The Case: Not going to bore you with all of the details, but here's the idea. I did not lose my license in civil court. He is out there making every move he can that is in your best interest. He has a superb knowledge of the law. He is straight forward about the situation. He works hard, and has a genuine talent for his profession. In my opinion he gets it done and does his best to keep you stress free. **Charge: DUI **Result: Reduced to Reckless Driving (with minimal penalties, and no license suspension at any point).

Michael was able to have very serious sexual misconduct charges reduced to disorderly conduct. He kept me informed every step of the way. He knew how to handle an over-zealous solicitor with a messianic objectives. I would highly recommend this lawyer if you ever need someone on your side!

Michael helped me with major charges on two occasions. In Athens, Michael had a DUI charge thrown out and in Atlanta, despite having a BAC above the legal limit, had a DUI charge reduced to Reckless Driving. Michael is very responsive and I could not be more pleased with the results. I definitely would recommend him to a friend (and have)!

Michael Lascala is an excellent lawyer. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable and has a calming demeanor. He has a firm grasp on the law and gets the job done quickly and efficiently. Having him in my corner was the most important factor in the success of my case. I highly recommend him.

I had a unique and difficult case which other specialized attorney's were too scared to take on. Michael handled everything with great knowledge and confidence from the moment I first spoke with him to the last little question. Always available, any time of day or night.

This is one of the best criminal lawyers in Atlanta. He has consistently provided me with great results. If your in a legal bind, this is the man you need to call. He is very knowledgeable and will fight for your rights and do what is necessary to win your case.

I was involved in a hit and run accident in which I ran into a Jeep Liberty with three passengers that overturned. I left the scene because I had been drinking, which was the worst decision I ever made in my life. I received a DUI 4.5 years ago in Athens, GA and had an array on thoughts that quickly went through my head: 1) I didn't want to lose my job; 2) I couldn't afford a 2nd DUI; and 3) I didn't have my physical license on me. To be honest, I made the decision to leave the scene so quickly and the impact happened so fast that I did not know that the other car had overturned until I got to jail three hours later. Anyways, I left the scene and was pulled over ten minutes later. A witness had followed me and reported my plates. My BAC was .560 and I got a DUI-Less Safe, a misdemeanor Hit and Run and failure to yield. I spent the night in jail and went to Michael Lascala's office the next day. There was major luck involved in multiple areas but Michael Lascala's work was not luck. He clearly has lots of connections in the legal industry, a quick wit and a will to fight for your case. To make a very long story short, Michael kept my license, kept me out of jail and had all three of my charges merged into one charge of reckless driving. God was on my side as no one in the other car was injured at all. I have changed my life because of this incident but I would never have had the opportunity without Michael's help. Hire him. He's also gotten two DUIs thrown out for my step-brother. He's the best in Atlanta.

I was referred to Mr. LaScala by a colleague. I'm very happy I called and met with him. He explained the situation and was able to have my case dismissed. Michael helped me through a difficult time and was there when I needed reassurance. I'm able to keep my professional license and continue with my life without a criminal charge. I'm very thankful for his work. I would recommend him to everyone!

I have had Michael represent me in court for my DUI charges and 1 theft-over charge. Out of 2 DUI charges and 1 theft-over charge, none where convictions and most were dismissed, thanks to this life-saving lawyer!! He knows almost everyone in the courthouse and they all seem to like him as much as I do!! All I can say is that if I am in any trouble again (hopefully not) this is the man I will call!!

Michael has an Incredible knowledge of the law and current and prior cases. I always felt informed and knew that I had someone that would fight for me to the bitter end. He had excellent raport with the others in the court. Michael was able to get my changes acquitted. He ran circles around the Fulton County prosecutor. I will always have his card in my wallet and his number in my cell phone just incase someone else needs him!

I was in so deep with the court system for various offenses. Mike made it all go away. He seems to have personal relationships with prosecutors and such that seemed to make things go in his favor. If you are up the creek without a paddle like I was, Trust me, Mike is the man!

Michael was a top notch attorney. I was well informed at each part of the process, and was given clear and precise instruction as to how to best handle being proactive with my case. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who is seeking a lawyer who knows how to get the job done.

Michael is very straight forward, honest and diligent in handling his cases. I felt well taken care of and my mind was put to ease during a difficult time as I trusted I had the best attorney and was well prepared thanks to his advisement. My case resulted positively with the expected outcome that Michael set out for. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone dealing with a DUI case.

He handled a case where my son was falsely accused of stalking. The case was dismissed and my son's arrest record has been expunged.
