Michael was very knowledgeable and kept me informed every step of the way. He worked hard to get the charges reduced. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome- highly recommended.

Professional and courteous

Mr. Hustick took my two cases seriously and communicated the attitudes and expectations of the courts. He was professional, timely, and thorough in the court correspondences and legal standings of the cases. He was successfully able to prove a double jeopardy in one of the cases and have it dismissed... and all charges dropped.

HE MADE IT GO AWAY

While parusing my traffic history I'd discovered a 6-year-old case, AND open capias which was issued that I wasn't even aware I had due to there being a service discrepancy. Upon calling the court myself I was instructed to come in to schedule a hearing date. After careful consideration, I decided ...to contact Attorney Hustick to look into the matter in my stead. I will NEVER regret that contact call! Attorney Hustick found that the case was defective, subsequently filed the appropriate motion, and within 1 week the case was dismissed. Attorney Hustick valued my concern and promptly went to work on my case, never ignoring my calls or minimizing my concerns. Surprisingly, he even returned a call to me DURING HIS VACATION IN HAWAII!!! It is a rarity have experienced an attorney who displays such humility - remembering that, despite his degree, he too is a human being. I would highly recommend Attorney Hustick for the handling of legal matters. He is a keeper!!

I was charged with Driving on a Sidewalk. Mr. Hustick worked out a plea to a non-moving violation and no points!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked on criminal cases with Mike Hustick where he represented one codefendant and I represented another. Mike did an outstanding job. He is a former prosecutor, so he has the experience and relationships that make him valuable to his clients. I also refer clients to Mike when I cannot represent them because I trust Mike and know he'll do a great job. He always keeps his clients informed every step of the way. From his experience as a former prosecutor, Mike knows how the the police conduct an investigation, how the prosecution puts together a case, why they charge things a certain way, and how the State presents their case to a jury. I trust Mike to represent my clients, and would send my friends or family members to him for representation, if needed. He is fair, honest, and effective."
