The Best attorney in Michigan Ever

I have 5 felonies and for each case I retained Mr. Oakes and I have never been to prison. Everytime I'd ask him what the outcome will be and he would say for instance probation. That's what would happen. He has always had my back and fought for me. Personally he is the best attorney in Michigan. He ...is always on top of his cases and he never slacks. I love this man to death for the miracles that he has made happen for me. Just recently I went for a probation voilation and I'm on probtion for 2 felonies he assured me that my probation would only get extended for 6 months. The recommendation was for a year and the judge only gave me a 6 month extention like he said. He is a man of his word whatever he says is going to happen thats what will happen. I can't thank him enough for the hard work he has put in for me.

Ingham County

Mr. Oakes represented me in a Criminal drug case in Ingham County as well as a probation violation. I was currently a 3rd habitual facing prison time. Michael was able to get me less than a year in jail. Mr. Oakes was easily accessible. I was able to call, text or fax information to him. He went abov...e and beyond by visiting me in jail on a Sunday. I would/have recommended him to family & friends.

A job well done!!!!

I was able to utilize Mr. Oakes legal advise and services on a case, which the State of Michigan refuse my unemployment claim. Mr. Oakes asked his colleagues for some advice when taking on a unemployment case and they suggest he refuse his services and told him the State of Michigan don't lose. The...y were all wrong, because Mr. Oakes took their advice, used his knowledge and will to study similar court cases, and won this unemployment claim against the State of Michigan, which was very helpful for my family. I feel Mr. Oakes provides compassion for his work, which allows the client to feel more comfortable with their situation during the legal proceeding. Thanks Mr. Oakes for taking my case when other local and state Lawyer stated this would be a waste of both of our times.

Mike Oakes, Awesome Representation

Mike has such a great energy. He was well respected just by the mention of his name. I never had to wonder what was being discussed on either end. Upfront, honest, productive and realistic. He represented me in a criminal case and not only was able to work out a deal that enabled me to continue to li...ve my life but it also didn't disrupt my pockets. Always prompt and knowledgeable. I recommend him highly, his courtroom etiquette is none less than a blessed gift.
