This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Honest, Fair and Reaponsive

Mr Butash has been fighting my case for over a year and although it's not the outcome I desired, he gets the 5 stars because he bailed me out of jail when I was arrested after my sentencing... The fact that he's empathetic to my situation speaks volumes about his character. He's the exact opposite of... one of those greedy "dine and dash" lawyers that becomes less responsive once they get paid. He should get 6 stars for communication. Mike calls me back after hours or on the weekends, but I've found the best method of communication is text- which is what I prefer so it works out perfect. If you want someone to fight for you, Butash is your man.

Very scary at first. Because hes a straight shooter

Mike is a straight shooter. He's intimidating but honest and real. I used him for a case that the state expunged in the end. I would hope to never have to use him again but it is good to know that I have someone I know can fight for my freedom and rights.i Highly recommend him and his team of exper...ts . Fred B.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
