I was lucky to have his help

Talk about making the best of a bad situation. Michael is dedicated to helping you by any means possible. He understands what I was going through and helped me navigate the court system. Michael brought up options I didn't even know existed. I couldn't recommend a better lawyer.

5 Star Attorney

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!

Charged with DUI - Result: Reduced to Reckless Driving / Never had License Revoked

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).

Everything happened that he said would happen!!!

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.

"Almost by instinct I refer Atlanta-area traffic offenses (e.g., DUIs) to Michael LaScala. His record is exemplary. Perhaps more impressive than his accomplishments and intellect, though, is Michael's compassion. He understands that everyone has a bad day now and again, and that everyone, sometimes, needs a good lawyer to get them through the 'legal' part of that day. That's why I trust him with my clients."

If Mike is your lawyer, I promise you that you are in good hands because he is as capable as they come. Besides his legal acumen, he is also an all around good guy. I would call him myself if I needed a lawyer."
