Very Good!

Michael is a no BS, straightforward, experienced attorney and was able to take on an unusual case and educate me on the laws and possible outcomes as well as give me some reassurances when I needed them. He answered a barrage of questions and I feel had my best interests in mind always. I’m not sure ...of everything that went on behind closed chamber doors, but I feel confident he advocated strongly for me and felt extremely fortunate and relieved with a “good news” outcome when I was expecting the worst. Recommend!

An attorney to rely on 100%

Attorney Asseff represented me at court for a double traffic violation. It was my first court appearance and I was very nervous. As soon as he arrived I knew I was going to be in good hands. Not only has he explained everything to me earlier in terms I could actually understand, but he made me feel... I could hope for a more positive resolution of my situation. The outcome of my court appearance turned out to be more satisfactory than I dared to hope for. I could not recommend a better attorney than Mr. Asseff. He is someone one will be definitely able to trust in a vulnerable time of need.

Great lawyer

Michael is very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to criminal law. He helped me tremendously in my defense. He was very accessible. He always answers his phone and return messages. He has the compassion to truly help me. I think Attorney Asseff is a great lawyer.

Excellent Attorney and Friend

Mr Asseff is an Amazing Attorney, And a heart of gold. I recently in the last year got a DUI, And Mike represented me with amazing results. He was very detailed oriented , extremely patient with all my crazy questions and my worries. He took the time to explain to me everything I needed to know and ...more. And in the end I also gained a great friend. Thanks again Mike -George

WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND MICHAEL

We hired Michael to fight for us with unscrupulous contractors who had mishandled tens of thousands of dollars of money we had given them for work scheduled to be done on a property. He successfully recovered $40,000 for us, and we have been grateful to him ever since!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
