Cleaning up the wreakage of my past

Lived in Florida back in the early 90's, got a DUI in Pinellas county and moved away without clearing up that situation. Twenty five years later when I finally decided to address the issue Michael J. Boyle was able to help me clear it all up without me having to go there. I called him in mid February..., the case was completely resolved by the first week of April. He went to bat for me in an expeditious manner to say the least. I am very impressed with him and the firm he works for. If you need an excellent attorney in Pinellas county Florida I highly recommend him.

Put mind at ease and delivered results

Michael was referred to me by a friend and I could not be happier about that fact. Despite the reason for needing to retain Michael's services was something I would have preferred not to have to do, from the first moment I spoke with Michael he began putting my mind at ease. He was extremely up front... with me, gave me all of my options as well as his opinion as to how things would unfold based on his experience both as a prosecutor and defender, all of which was greatly appreciated and helped relax me. Throughout the entire process he was extremely responsive and never grew weary of answering my myriad questions. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and am extremely grateful for all of his help.

The Master of His Craft

Mr. Michael Boyle, was referred to me by a friend of my wife. Upon first meeting this man...you would think he's too young to be a great lawyer. After all it takes many many years to find success in a profession such as his. That's what you would think! However, Mr. Boyle is truly a magic man in t...he art of Criminal Defense and overall court presence. To become the best at anything, you first need to have great COACHING (that is what I always have believed). And great coaching is what Mike has received. He is an outstanding attorney, with the ability to almost predict the future of what the outcome might be. That my friends, is the result of dedication to the craft of Law and the excellent coaching that he has received from his Law School Education but also from the peers and associates he has worked with in his 9 years of practice. Many attorneys today use fancy commercials and big buildings to demonstrate how successful they are. Attorney Michael J. Boyle carries all of that success in a briefcase, as goes to battle for you in court. That in my opinion is all that should matter. You want a lawyer that listens, that cares, and that overall wants to defend you in the best way under Florida Law. Pinellas County and the State of Florida are blessed to have an attorney named Michael J. Boyle. This man went to battle for me, and gave me the outcome that I never knew could be possible. I got my life back, and Mike was great part in that! If you are looking for a great defense attorney that will take a focused interest in your case and resolve to give you the best overall outcome...look no further than your screen right now. Excellence is looking you right in the face....Mr Boyle is the "Master of His Craft"

Rude and badmouthed lawyer

I hired a lawyer in this attorney's firm. She was a great lawyer. She left the firm. This lawyer never even get the chance to let me know that some one else will represent me and when I asked him, he started to yell at my face in the court. I fired him. He was rude, mean and careless in my case. I do... not want any body to be in my shoes and he told me he reviewed my file when he did not answer the questions judge asked him.

Replied last May 07, 2012

This former client failed to appear for a mandatory court hearing. Warrant was issued by the judge. I had the warrant removed by bringing client to court to have those warrants removed the next day. She was very difficult to communicate with and I could tell quickly that we would not be able to work together. I gave her all of her money back (even the earned portion), moved to withdraw from her case, and was very pleased that the court allowed my firm to withdraw.
