Michael C. Minardi

The 1st time I had even heard of Mike Minardi he was on bay news 9 talking about cannabis I figured how brave, someone who believes in this medicine and was not scared to talk about it on a news channel. A few months later our home was raided at gun point our life got flipped upside down.... My hubby called Mike and we talked for about an hour. He decided to take our case. What the police found was total of almost 18 grams and hydroponic equipment in the attic not in use for anything. We were both arrested and they wanted to charge us both with a felony and a misdemeanor. They removed our child from school and gave her to a family member. During the 23 months (yes almost 2 years) of court postponements, changing the prosecutors a few times and other issues. During that time I went through a lot of illnesses, depression and always feeling like we were Prisoners in our own home. Anytime we needed to talk to Mike he was there, he would explain things we were not sure of that could happen. Mike never treated me like a client he always treated me like a friend who was in charge of my legal matters. I have been with Mike in Tallahassee when we rallied in Tallahassee. Again he went to help another person who needed his legal service 2 hours away. I will fight side by side with Mike to help others and I get the proper meds we need. I take 21 pills a day as long as I can fight this battle I will. In our court case I got 2 misdemeanors that were adjudication withheld. My hubby got also 2 misdemeanors, 6 months of probation, 50 hours of community service and monthly drug testing (due to having a prior 11 yrs ago) I am so honored to have Mike in my life now. He will always and forever be my friend. I truly love what he did for us. I truly love him and recommend him to all that might need his services. Never stop doing what you do Mike One Love

Like many others i chose cannabis over other prescription drugs. Im a vet with severe ptsd and cannabis is the only thing that works for me. After a "tip" the police came to my door and threatened me with harassment if i didnt agree to let them in long story short i had four plants growing which they... found. After my public deffender did her thing which was three years probation plus loose my firearm rights i fired her and hired Michael. It took several months but the friday before my trial started the da decided not to go up against Michael she offered with hold adjudication plus court cost im sure i could have went to trial and beat it all together but didnt want to risk it plus it was more money. Michael was great and put me before the money and you couldnt ask for a better attorney not to mention he drove four hours each way to make sure i was taken care of.

I retained Michael via a referral from FL NORML after spending heaps on a local attorney that could not even win a motion to suppress hearing in which the Agents admitted to the judge of violating my 4th amendment rights. Michael is Professional, Courteous and without a doubt the RIGHT Attorney. He w...ill not fill your head full of empty promises, but will tell you the Facts in a very understanding and personal way. He is not out to drain your account, however If you want to Win your case it does take money and most of that money Michael does not even get, our corrupt Gov't and State get it. You know where EVERY dollar goes with Michael. My only regret is I did not have him as my FIRST Attorney. For me, he is the BEST and I recommend him to everyone who asks.

I'm a patient not a criminal. I use medical cannabis and decided to choose it over the opiates my current Doctors wanted to prescribe. My home was robbed police were called. And I went to jail for trafficking once the police discovered my miracle medical cannabis garden ( 26 plants ) Attorney Minardi... stood by my side for eighteen months. 24 hours before trial, the State of Florida, County of Palm Beach Dismissed all charges !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This could not have been done with any other attorney !! Today I remain a free man, and continue to fight for the sick & disabled who would rather choose Medical Cannabis then then drugs that could have dangerous side effects. Thank you Attorney Minardi, Jeffrey

As a resident of Columbia County, Michael drove over five hours one way to represent me. I was facing eleven years in jail for criminal charges, I was growing cannabis for personal medicinal use. Thanks to Michael's knowledge of the laws, and his outstanding communication skills, the state dismiss...ed charges.
