Michael Lynn Oakes

Attorney Oakes have voluntarily assisted me with resolving a traffic infraction. He has also assisted family members in criminals and civic problems which I witness. He was caring, concerned and quite professional in resolving each matter. If legal matters arise, he would be my first choice for repre...sentation.

I have been working with Michael for a year now; including cases regarding drug charges, divorce, and child services. I had many open cases and needed a lawyer that would be there to actually listen to my issues. I hired Mike in May of 2017. Since then, he has traveled long distances numerous times t...o attend my court dates. He has not only had many of my serious charges reduced, but he also has had me released from jail numerous times and found rehabs that I could attend. I would highly recommend his services!

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.

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.

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.
