My first lawyer and the best one I ever encountered.

I hired Michael about 18 years ago for my first offence drug possession, and he was so cool and understanding of my situation at the time, he really wanted to help me and and offered me the drug court option which was one of the best things I could have done at the time. He explained the law at the ...time and went above and beyond to keep from being thrown out of the drug court program and helped me see the error in my ways at the time, I was young and completely unaware of the Florida controlled substance laws and he really helped open my eyes to the path I was headed. I still think of you today Mr. Rocque and I wish you all the success and praise you deserve as the bad ass lawyer you are. Keep at it and Thank you so much for helping me at that time in my life.

GOOD MOVE TO HIRE MICKY!

I hired Micky 3 years ago for a DUI, I was charged with. At first I had a public defender who did next to NOTHING ! Then I was in court and in walked Micky. The room light up with his huge smiles. EVERYONE in the room knew who he was. As he greeted most of the room. I said to myself "That is an attor...ney, you want on your side!!!" So I asked for is number. He gave me a VERY fair price and fought hard for me. I was found "NOT GUILTY" in trial. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM !!!

DUI KING

Hired Mickey for my DUI and it was handled better than I could have imagined. He was just as friendly with the the other side as he was with me. His prices were fair and he was really willing to work with me with a payment plan. Over all great guy who really helped me turn my life around and resolve ...my issue with ease.

Best Defense Money Can Buy

I hired Mickey after I ended up in Drug Court back in 2002. He was extremely fair in his rate and proved to be worth every penny. After almost a half a year of reporting in the program it became plain to see that those with private lawyers were able to navigate through the system with ease. Mickey is... well connected and his experience in the Drug Court program was unparalleled. He has a kinetic sort of personality and he just seems to come to life when hes in the court room.

No one better to have on your team

We first met Mickey back in 1998, and hiring him will always be right there at the top of "best decisions ever made". There are a gazillion jokes about how heartless, ruthless, and immoral lawyers are; none of these jokes could pertain to Mickey. He is one of a kind. The specifics of my case are irre...levant. What is relevant is that had it not been for this amazing attorney and exceptional human being, the outcome of my case would have been terrifyingly and unbearably different. Mickey was relentless in his resolve to change the prosecutors mind. My husband told me that Mickey approached him to talk to him about my case ever time he saw him. I was a client. I paid Mickey to be my attorney; we were veritable strangers, so to say he went above and beyond would be a gross understatement! You rarely find a friend, or even a relative (other than your mother) who would do something like that for you, but this man did. His character is inimitable amongst lawyers; he is truly ONE-OF-A-KIND!!! Any words I try to come up with to express the gratitude me and my family feel towards Mickey (and Monica...she was there too!) fall terribly short. It has been several years since Mickey did what he did for me and my family and it is still as fresh in my mind today as it was when it happened. Your benevolent act, your willingness to go far above and beyond what anyone else would have, changed my life in ways you will never know. You gave me years with my children that I would not have otherwise had, and for that, I could never repay you. Thank you Mickey. I never said it enough, but I have, and will always feel it as deep as my heart goes. You are a rare exceptional, and special human being and ONE HELLUVA LAWYER!!!! I've seen Mickey a few times since all of that happened and he hasn't changed much. He has a huge smile and a warm greeting every single time I see him, and he always has to rush off, on his way to help someone else in trouble. Nobody wants to be in court and have to face a judge, but if you find yourself in that situation, there is no one better to have on your team than Michael J Rocque! Love you Mickey!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! Love, FrankieJean (Greg, Sean, John David) Hancock-Shirley
