Some Decisions Will Change Your Life

Hired Mike February 2025 after being attacked by my now ex girlfriend and arrested. I was arrested for domestic battery and strangulation. I spent 6 months in jail but keep in mind I had no bruising, swelling, red marks or scratches on the tops or bottoms of either hand. Medical report showed my girl...friend's alcohol level hours after she attacked was still twice the legal limit. She also tested positive for Amphetamines. While removing her from my home we fell to the floor, she attempted to stab me with a piece of broken mirror while we were on the floor. I struck her with my forearm only and once only!! Mike represented me for 14 months, sent me multiple emails regarding a detective and officer's testifying on my behalf yet I was the only person who testified on my behalf! I was found guilty of both charges, my career and reputation are ruined and now I live the shame of being classified a domestic batterer. Find a different attorney

Not a good experience

I hired these guys 8 months ago. No communication from them. When I call, a very rude older woman answers the phone and says all she can do is leave a message. I paid them $1000 and the only thing they have done in 8 months is file a motion for discovery. I would not recommend using these guys.

  • 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.
