Michael Alan Gottlieb

WHERE TO BEGIN! Mr. Michael Gottlieb. Godsend, Super Hero disguised as an attorney. This man is someone I was referred to not only as the best defense attorney there is, but an awesome human being. His approach is efficient, compassionate, and realistic. He gathered the facts quickly, asked the right questions, and then the magic happened. During the pandemic, I was faced with charges that could have impacted my entire life, on all fronts- personally, professionally, with my family- you name it. I was DOOMED. I was lost. I didn’t know how to navigate, as this is something I had never experienced before, I was not a “criminal”. As soon as we found Mr. Gottlieb, we felt hopeful that everything was going to be okay. Not only did he exercise empathy, to help ease me through this process, but his strategy was that of pure ethical genius. I am so grateful for this man. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. Feeling lost? Gottlieb is your person!

We've thought he was just going to be another lawyer trying to get our money and get a quick deal out of it. But this guy was the one who pushed us to go to trial and reassured us that he would win. And that's exactly what he did. He was worth every penny plus more. And his partner was awesome too..Mike and his partner Mr. Strandell just make an awesome team. In my situation it wasn't probation, it was "Not Guilty"

I've had the pleasure of knowing mr gottlieb for over 25 years,,he has represented me several times throughout the years as well as other family members and friends,,he's a fantastic attorney as well as a dedicated human being that cares about his clients and his work

When my son got into some trouble. My wife and I I had no idea what to do, but Mr Gottlieb got him back home with us and made sure the outcome didn't hinder his future. I would recommend him to anyone and I have recommended him to a few people. This guy really cares and you can trust what he says.

I hired Mike in March 2015 to represent me on a false felony charge from 2013. After hearing my case, he told me, "I can get your case dismissed". My family hired him while I sat it out in jail unable to bond out. Last year, Mike kept his promise and I was freed on the 4th of July. Mike is a great guy, great friend, and a great lawyer!

If you are looking for a knowledgeable lawyer look no further than Mike Gottlieb. He was charged with second degree murder. Mike got the charges dropped because it was actually self defense. We had spoken to quite a few lawyer and I am happy that we chose Mike. He listened to us, advised us, and worked with us to get to the truth and was able to show the courts that truth. We literally had to trust mike with his life and he proved that the trust was not misplaced! Mike was worth every penny, nickel and dime we spent and if you find yourself in any kind of trouble, he should be the first person that you call. He will listen, be available and guide you through whatever your charges are in a MOST professional and courteous manner.

Michael Gottlieb and his staff treated me with respect, professionalism, and concern for 3 1/2 years! I want to take this opportunity to thank Michael Gottlieb and Clark Strandell for all the work, attention, and dedication you both put into my case. Although we and our pride's may have wanted the ultimate victory; my result is the best outcome we could have gotten under the circumstances that were presented. I truly believe I am very fortunate to have you both as my legal counsel. Considering the fact that our freedom is taken for granted; you both made me feel confident and safe through out my legal battle. I truly appreciate all you have done and that is why the both of you are in a class of your own. Once again THANK YOU!!!

We hired Mr. Gottlieb for two 3rd degree felony cases, while we can't write a complete review about Gottlieb yet we can start by saying that he is very professional and seems to be a very knowledgeable lawyer. We will write a full review including the two pending cases details as soon as they are filed and finalized.

On December 16, 2010 Michael performed a miracle in a high-profile RICO conspiracy Internet gambling case and helped me get my life back. And when I thought it couldn't get any better I became a free man officially today... Docket Text: ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion for early termination of probation [Doc. # 1297] is granted. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant is discharged from probation and the proceedings in this case are terminated as to him. ORDER granting [1297] Motion for Early Termination of Probation/Supervised Release (7) Signed by District Judge Carol E. Jackson on 7/31/2012. (KMS)

He and his staff are the the friendliest, most knowledgable people I have ever met. I refer everyone I know with any legal issues to him from traffice to criminal. Never ever received a negative feedback.

By far one of the most Outstanding attorneys I have ever met, Firm and swifts with his words, Very well educated, Professianl, Respectful and does his job with the highest possible potential. I have hired several respected attorneys in my days and Michael Gottlieb by far surpasses them all. I highly Recoomened Mr. Gottlieb for any of your criminal defense needs, with over 18 years in law and over 100 " Not Guilty " verdicts under his belt he is well qualified and prepared for any type of Case.

I was one of the lead defendants in US v. Betonsports plc which was an international Internet Gambling case which evolved from a grand jury indictment in the E.D. of Mo. in 2006. I had given up all hope, and the government considered me to be a fugitive in CR where I had resided for 13 years with my dual citizenship. Michael A. Gottlieb formulated a strategy to convince the government to negotiate a plea agreement in good faith by instituting civil litigation against the United States for bringing a malicious prosecution against me. After 16 months of research and him having to make 3 trips out to St. Louis, Mike was able to negotiate my surrender on his home turf in Ft. Lauderdale, the granting of an OR Bond in advance, and my swift removal to St. Louis all in the same day. I surrendered in Florida on Monday and was sentenced by the judge in St. Louis on Thursday of the same week. On Friday morning I was on a plane back to Costa Rica sentenced to 3 years of unsupervised probation in Costa Rica and a $10,000 fine which I had 6 months to pay. The plea agreement was struck and approved by the presiding judge before I even appeared before the court while I was still in Costa Rica. This international case charged me, along with 11 other defendants with evasion of gambling excise taxes, RICO, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, obstruction of IRS laws, and forfeiture for 4.5 billion dollars. The lead defendant in the case, Gary Kaplan, was sentenced to 51 months in jail and personally had to forfeit more than 43 million dollars prior to my negotiations. His team of attorneys was the best that money could buy. This is a prime example that big doesn't necessarily mean better. Mike made himself available to me 24/7/365 via email or phone. I have never seen an attorney more diligent than him, nor a lawyer who was so obsessed to researching a case thoroughly. The judge in the case, Carole E. Jackson is considered to be a very strict judge. Mike and his colleague, Jason Kreiss, established a very professional working relationship with the prosecutors as well as the judge. Gottlieb and Kreiss clearly out-strategized the government. Mike was always one step ahead of the government, and was always prepared. If you want an attorney that will dedicate himself to ultimately getting you a resolution to your legal problem that you can live with look no further than Michael A. Gottlieb. It took me more than 3 years to find him, and it was by sheer luck that I did.
