No show all around Terrible

Mike had been representing the person I mentored since he was young and promised him this that and the third. Come to find out the person he representing could not even receive a bond hearing until the endanger hearing was done. After one court hearing that “didn’t happen” and one that he just didn’t... show nor answer our phone calls for weeks lead us to hiring a lawyer. Myself as a teacher cannot afford to lose 500 dollars in which he promised he would give back and has stood he up numerous times. We have our boy sitting for now going on 8 months because of this man

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY

This man literally took 2,000 away from my family to “help” us free my in law and instead he did NOTHING. HE TOOK THE MONEY DIDNT ANSWER CALLS OR TEXT. When he did he made us cashapp who we think is his drug dealer which is INSANE. THIS MAN IS THE WORSE. PLS DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO TO ANOTHER ATTO...RNEY.

Amazing man

I found Michael by searching lawyers and I lucked out. The first time i called him and told him about my son he did the unthinkable he must have heard the desperation in my voice and without hesitation he said he would go see my son in jail that same night. I didn't even retain him yet but i think hi...s fatherly instinct kicked in and he went. He spoke to my son and even my son said the he liked him and that he's a straight shooter , and he is. After a month Micheal helped my son avoid a felony on his record and no jail time. But that's not only why i recommend him I recommend Michael because he's just not a lawyer he's a family man and knows what it's like to care about someones child. So if you're in need of a lawyer and more importantly a friend that will help and care then look no further Michael Walsh is your guy. And his assistant Shannon is a real sweatheart and kept me calm when i needed it. So trust me you're in good hands with that team. Now if you want someone to tell you how it is and not sugar coat things then call Michael Walsh and you'll be glad you did.

They wanted to give me 20 plus years in a plea, or 30 to life at trial. Not only did Mike run circles around the AUSA on my cases by picking apart there case with pre trial motions, he did it while putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable. Best Lawyer in Florida is an understatement. I pl...ead out to 40 months because I was guilty and after going to prison and seeing all the 10, 20, and 30 year sentnces I realized how important a good lawyer was and truly blessed I had been. He is the type of guy you want on your side and now I repay him by living right, doing the right thing and staying grateful because that is what he would want. This is not your typical greedy scum bag lawyer. If you have a serious case he is the only one you want.

Best lawyer in Florida!!!!!!

Mike, I have had the pleasure of hiring you to represent me against a federal criminal charge. I have known many attorneys and interviewed many for my case. You my friend are truly an amazing man, attorney and friend! You have made this entire bad experience so much easier for my family and I. ... I can not thank you enough, your passion and ability to truly fight for justice and efforts have been remarkable! You have demonstrated that you will go far past the efforts of most lawyers, putting your client first and giving so much of your time to really fight for me. I have now watched you interact with many clients and you have a special gift, your kindness and compassion to others, unfortunate circumstances is remarkable. Your skills in court are awesome your like a pit bull on the attack and you stop at nothing to win, and bring justice to your clients. I have spent a lot of time around the court room and anyone lucky enough to hire you as their attorney has already won! Thank you
