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

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.

I was referred to Mr. Minardi by the Florida chapter of NORMAL, I needed an Attorney for my son who was in trouble in Florida and I was 3000 miles away in California. Mr Minardi returned my call very quickly and very patiently listened to me describe my sons situation and my concerns. Mr. Minardi the...n contacted my son and proceeded to represent him and assist him, no talk of retainer fees or how much this was going to cost, he put the Client first. I was pleasantly surprised and was able to meet Mr. Minardi about 9 months later when My son went to trial. Without Mr. Minardi's assistance my son was facing a felony conviction for a first time offense and he was able to work out what they call a non adjudicated probation which when finished guarantees no record of a felony conviction on my sons records. During this time Mr. Minardi has also stayed in contact with My son checking on his welfare and offering moral support as well as contacts for my son to talk to if there was a need. In a time when most Attorneys are considered sharks out for money or ambulance chasers, Michael Minardi has been a true Human Being and shown compassion and concern, I am forever grateful to him for helping my son at his darkest hour !!!
