Miracle worker!

My best friend found herself in some pretty serious trouble in Florida- where we know no one. I had to rely on reviews like these to choose the best lawyer for her and I’m so glad I chose Dino Michaels! We needed a miracle and sure enough he gave us one! We didn’t see any way she would get less than ...20 years and after a year and a half of county jail time, postponed court dates, wondering and waiting she was finally sentenced to 3 years. No probation to follow. Her charge carried a 30 year sentence so to say he’s a miracle worker is no stretch of the truth. He’s not the greatest communicator but what he lacks there he more than makes up for with results which is what we were hoping for the whole time. So after you hire him, if you don’t hear from him, don’t worry- he’s making it happen! Thank you Mr. Michaels! You gave 4 kids an opportunity to grow up with their mom that they wouldn’t have had otherwise. We are forever grateful!

A True BLESSING

Mr. Michaels represented me in a case I felt I needed a miracle to get through. He was the miracle he never made false promises or gassed my head up about my case and he showed genuinely concern from DAY 1 and i couldnt ask for much more. He is a legal genius in my eyes and did everything he could to... change my felony into a misdemeanor , even when I was ready to just give up Mr. Michaels kept fighting and for that I will forever be grateful. 10/10 Defense lawyer I would recommend to anyone.

Magnificent!!!

I am in great gratitude with Criminal Defense Lawyer Dino Mike Michaels for believing in me when nobody else did and for representing me in Court with Honor, Pride, Execellence, and Respect! Intelligently walked me through all possible outcomes and studied all angles of my case. Dedication and passi...on is what drives Mr. Michaels to succeed in Court. In my Trial I knew one thing for sure, that I had the upmost skilled and experienced Lawyer in the State of Florida! Fiercely stood up for me against all wrongful accusations and misinterpretation by the prosecutors! Brought up some excellent points that had the Judge amazed and wondering why I was even in Court. Finally I was Found not guilty by the Jury and I’m enjoying my Freedom at home with my Family. Thank you Mr. Dino M Michaels and God Bless!

My Angels on Earth!

There are no words to describe how grateful I am that Mr. Dino Michaels worked on my case. Mr. Michaels high integrity, ethical values, and fierce commitment to represent a client goes beyond what anyone could expect. Mr. Michaels sense of communication with me as a client helped me understand that h...e loves doing what he does while helping people. His superior legal representation makes him a tenacious and determined attorney who thrives to pursue his clients' interests while skillfully exposing the reality of the injustice, which resulted in charges being dropped. I will forever be grateful to this outstanding team of attorneys. I absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone in need of an attorney even with my eyes closed. If I ever need an attorney again, I will not hesitate to contact Escobar and Associates first. Thank You for being my Angels on Earth!

A BIG THANK YOU for an impressive defense!

I hired Mr. Michaels to defend my son who was facing up to 10 years in prison. Mr. Michaels has many years of legal and defense experience and knowledge on the field. He was able to provide us with different options and possible scenarios, and with accurate legal information and honest advise. Mr. Mi...chael was empathetic and showed a genuine concern for my son's well-being and not for the fees. Thanks to his diligent efforts he was able to obtain a withheld adjudication instead of the felony with the up to 10 years of prison. Thank you Dino Michaels for all you did for my son and my family!
