Michael Robert Ufferman

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to thanking Michael Ufferman. Hiring him was the best decision I ever made during the toughest chapter of my life. When I was facing the weight of my conviction, I felt lost and hopeless, but Michael gave me something I hadn’t felt in a long time—hope. F...rom our first meeting, he listened to me like I was family, not just another case. He took the time to really get what I was going through and explained everything in a way that made sense, no matter how complicated the legal stuff got. Michael’s brilliance as an appellate attorney showed in every step of my appeal. He fought for me with a kind of passion and determination that’s hard to put into words. Thanks to his hard work and incredible knowledge, he got my conviction overturned in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. I still get emotional thinking about that moment—it gave me my life back. He wasn’t just my lawyer; he was my lifeline, always there to answer questions and keep me grounded. What sets Michael apart isn’t just that he’s a top-notch lawyer (though he absolutely is—board-certified and all!). It’s his heart. He treated me with so much kindness and respect, like my future mattered to him personally. If you’re looking for someone to fight for you and truly care, Michael Ufferman is your guy. I owe him everything, and I’ll never stop recommending him. Five stars don’t feel like enough!

I hired Mr. Ufferman 10 years ago, he brought me through a juvenile resentencing where due to his unparalleled skill my sentence was reduced from a natural life sentence to the minimum term of 40 years. He was so good that the Honorable Judge Howard even commented at the end of my hearing that he was... glad that other younger attorneys were present to watch how an appeal should be conducted at its highest level. He was always present for me when I had questions or even doubts. He fought for me, not just doing the required legal work but he actually fought until he saw me released from prison on July 26th, 2024 where on that day he and Audra Bryan walked me from imprisonment. No other attorney in my 26 years of fighting in the courts has ever demonstrated the tenacity or intellectual capacity of Michael Ufferman. I would not be free today without him.

Mr Ufferman handled my Father’s appeal after we had the carpet ripped out from under us. His knowledge and professionalism are well known and I challenge you to find a better appeals attorney in the state. One thing that sets him apart more than that, though, is his heart. His advocacy has no bounds ...and he and his office staff not only were successful in helping us, but offered us the support we needed to get through the process. You are in more than capable hands with this team.

I am a Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney and retained Mr. Ufferman to represent me when a prosecutor filed a contempt action against me alleging I violated a local rule prohibiting contact with child witnesses under certain circumstances. Although I knew I'd done nothing wrong, I wanted to ens...ure the Court ruled favorably. Mr. Ufferman was amazing and successfully convinced the Court my actions were lawful.

Mr. Ufferman and his staff were professional in every area. They were thorough and complete in all their work and kept me fully informed all the way. He was successful in significantly reducing my stepson's sentence through his diligence, knowledge of law, and his attention to detail. I don't beli...eve any other attorney could have enabled the outcome achieved.
