Blessed.

Like most people I was in need of an attorney and didn’t really know who to call . So my buddy went thru some ads and we found Mike. As soon as I met him there was something in his voice and the way he spoke you could tell he really cared and he was going to go to bat for me . Thru out the proceeding... the DA was confused on some verbiage and Mike just came up to me afterwards and said don’t worry this is wrong and I will fix it and he did. The outcome was better then anyone would have Imagined. I know this may sound a bit different but it’s just in Mikes voice . He’s so caring and he treats you with total respect. He totally will work with you on payment plans so that takes the stress and the worry out of that part . And all of us who have been in this position know that means a heck of a lot . Geo., Mike: Thank you not for being just my lawyer , That’s the easy part but thank you for being my rock .

Mike is the man.

Mike came highly recommended from a friend of mine. I explained my situation, and he was happy to give me a consultation. I was charged with 4 felonies, and had possible jail time over my head. My co-defendants paid almost twice as much in legal fees, and did not receive as good of a deal as me. G...ot off with no convictions, and some probation. Miracle worker. Highly recommend.

Excellent experience

Michael went above and beyond for my case. He was always there to help me and guide me through any questions I had. My case went from a felony to a PTI and I have never been more grateful.
