Best in the business

Attorney Oakes was very professional and extremely efficient. I went to court almost immediately and had a quick and easy process overall.

Great Results!!

Mr. Michael Oakes was professional, knowledgeable and provided excellent legal representation. I hired Mr. Oakes to represent me in resolving a monetary dispute with an unethical creditor who had filed a court summons against me. Mr. Oakes succeeded in obtaining a significantly reduced final settl...ement agreement. I was very pleased with his service and plan to hire him in the future as needed.

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.

Amazing services!

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!

Posted by Darnell | April 05, 2013 | Child Support

3 Words EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT

I have tried other attorneys to handle my Child Support Situation and the attorneys that I went to wanted to work something out with the mother of my child, when I did not want to. The mother of my child wanted back child support and wanted to put me on Child Support, even though, I fully take care ...of my child and the mother of my child. I was referred to Mr. Oakes and told him my situation and he simply said, "I got you." Needless to say, I am not on Child Support and I have custody of my son. Mr. Oakes is calm under pressure, stays 3 steps ahead of the opposition, and will get the job done. Dont go any where else except to his office!
