Michael Jeffrey Kessler

Having been charged with felony aggravated battery, i was obviously very frightened. Mr. Kessler was with me every step of the way. Through his expertise i was ultimately very relieved as the case was dismissed and all charges dropped.

Mr. Kessler was hired to defend my son, who resides in Michigan, for a DUI that occurred here in Florida over nine years ago. That defense was very satisfactory and my son returned home to Michigan. For reasons not divulged here, my son’s probation terms were not completed and a misdemeanor warrant was issued about 6 months later. Some eight years after that, with my son in his fifth year of sobriety, Mr. Kessler was hired to defend my son as he works through his program of amends to be made and his desire to demonstrate to his twelve year old son what is the right thing to do. My son returned to Florida and voluntarily turned himself in to the outstanding warrant. The outcome of the first appearance in county court was very satisfactory as Mr. Kessler was very instrumental in the ruling by the judge who assured all that justice will prevail when the hard work of keeping sober and “righting-the-wrongs” is clearly demonstrated. We are very grateful for the guidance and advice of Mr. Kessler and highly recommend him as an attorney specializing in such cases.

I am a single mother and ended up not being in a great spot with a theft charge. Uneasy about the whole ordeal, I meet with Mr Kessler for a consultation about how to get through it and what to expect, and he graciously was able to take my case and made me feel so at ease for the first time since it happened about everything that was going to happen and what to expect. He got me the best deal that I could have been offered. Himself plus his team has been nothing but nice and professional and helps you feel so much better about everything that you may be dealing with. Would definitely recommend him.

Was experiencing the worst day of my life Michael stopped everything and explained very patiently all my options and what was going to happen to me. He immediately started paperwork to find out what information anybody had that could put me in real trouble he found none and all charges were dropped! I don’t know what I would have done if he was not available to me . I felt very secure in the fact that I had Michael Kessler representing me. He’s got an incredible reputation in the town of Fort Pierce and beyond. -D

Mr. Kessler represented me in a criminal case. He did an outstanding job and I am very happy with the outcome. He was both kind and understanding too. I would recommend his services to all in need of an excellent attorney. Thank you again Mr. Kessler

I am unbelievably grateful to have found Michael Kessler through a friend, when I needed someone ASAP. He put my mind at ease, him and his staff were above and beyond professional, and most importantly - Michael truly cares about his clients! More than I could have ever imagined. He’s not just a great lawyer, he’s a great person. I would choose way more than 5 stars if I could!

Mr . Kessler swiftly was able to get my cased dropped. With me being a resident of NYC I feared lack of communication but he did very well on keeping me up to date and overall exceeded my expectations . Thank You

Mr. Kessler was able to see me immediately after my arrest. He provided me with helpful information.

Michael took a difficult case when I was not getting the results I wanted from my previous attorney, Michael was able to keep me out of court and resolve the case in what I consider the best result possible, I would recommend him to anyone needing a competent attorney that knows the system and want the best outcome possible, if I ever need an attorney again he will be my first choice

On September 9 I was pulled over for having dark tints in Port st Lucy. This lead to a search of my car. I was charged with less than 20 grams of marajuana and 6 counts of paraphernalia. I hired the best attorney I found, Mr Kessler, and that's the best decision I could have made. Mr Kessler and his staff were beyond helpful. After Mr Kessler told me all the possible out comes,which none included what happened, I was ready for a stressful year. My first court date was set to November 3rd for an arraignment. On October 19 I got a call from his office....all charges and cases of marajuana possession and possession or paraphernalia were completely dropped and dismissed. I didn't even go to court once. Honestly he's the best lawyer there is. He is very straight up, gives you all the info good or bad and is just beyond great. i don't how how I could ever truly thank him and his staff for being so great.

Miracle Attorney!!!! The biggest weight has been lifted from my shoulder. After being pulled over and found with marijuana possession and 6 counts of paraphynelia possession and given two misdimeanors, I immediately contacted Mr Kessler. I got a one on one consultation with him that helped me understand all my options. After hiring him, in less than a month he was able to get everything dismissed ! I could not believe he was able to do something like this after hearing many different outcomes that did not include dismissal especially in the st.lucie county! Thank you Mr.Kessler and your amazing staff! You guys are AMAZING!

Mike Kessler is a consummate professional. With regard to my particularly difficult DUI case he was diligent, trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. He truly went above and beyond and ultimately secured the best possible outcome for me. I feel satisfied knowing that I can hire him in the future for any legal matters and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney on the Treasure Coast.

Mr. Kessler and his law firm has to be one of the most professional yet caring lawyers I have ever met. As soon as I walked into his office and sat with him I knew he was the one to hire. He makes sure you understand the whole process of what you are going through, he also always stays in contact and answers any questions you may have in a timely manner. I hired Kessler and within two weeks my case was dismissed. I would recommend Kessler's law firm to everyone I know who needs some legal help. Thank you again for everything you did to help my family and I through this horrible ordeal.

Although I am not a sworn officer I do work in the field of law enforcement as a civil investigator for the state. I am familiar with the court system and have sat as an expert witness on several occasions. That being said you can imagine my discomfort when I found myself accused (wrongly) of providing alcohol to minors. My career, good name and self respect were all on the line. I met with Mike and his staff through a recommendation from a friend. From the first call with his receptionist I was put at ease and scheduled my initial consultation. I met with Mike approximately one week later. He was attentive and let me pour out my story pretty much without interruption. He then asked me several pertinent questions about things such as searches, location, what the FWC officer said and did, witnesses and so on. The entire time this interview was taking place Mike's demeanor was one of calmness and concern for my situation, especially the fact that I could be terminated if I was found guilty or pled no contest to the allegations. Once the Q&A was complete he reviewed his notes and proceeded to explain exactly how he expected the case to proceed and the outcome he would achieve. He also explained clearly how his services were compensated and what I could expect from he and his staff during the course of the court proceedings up to and including a trial if need be although he seriously doubted it would go that far. He calmed my concerns by detailing exactly how he planned on proving my innocence. As time went by and I received notices from the court regarding appearances I would immediately receive a letter from his office stating what if any action I needed to take. Not once did I have to call his office to ask ow I should proceed. A few days before my court date Mike and I had a twenty or thirty minute phone conversation about where we stood (young ASA was playing chicken with no evidence) and what I should expect. He also advised me on when I should arrive at court and how to dress. These things I already knew from my own career experience but I appreciated the care he took to make sure everything would go smoothly. On the morning of my court date I was sitting outside the courtroom when Mike showed up. He made eye contact but did not come over at that point. He was obviously busy communicating with the ASA and representing my case to the state. After thirty minutes or so he came out of the court room and came and stood next to me. I asked him "how are we doing" and that is when he told me the ASA was playing chicken when they had no evidence. He also told me that they were trying to charge me with a statute that did not apply to my case. He said was giving the ASA a chance to digest that fact on top of the lack of evidence as he had just informed him of it. We chatted about family and kids and then a few minutes later he said "I will be right back". He left, came back and casually said "you can leave if you want, I have to stay until the ASA informs the judge that the State is choosing Nolle Prosse". I said "that's it?" and he said yes, unless you want to stay and hear it for yourself. I thought about it and said "you know, after all the stress, I want to hear it." He just grinned and told me what would happen from there on. After the case was dismissed we walked out together and I thanked him sincerely for all his work and his obvious concern for my case. He said he was just sorry I had to go through all the stress in order to prove something we already knew to be true, my innocence. Not only is Mike Kessler and his staff a top notch law firm, every person I dealt with, from the receptionist to his associate attorneys to Mike himself conducted themselves in a very professional manner demonstrating both exceptional legal knowledge and compassion for my situation. I will say it again, Thanks Mike, to you and your staff for making a bad situation much, much easier than it could have been!
