Truly an outstanding Person and an excellent Attorney!

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 !!!
