Michael J. Boyle

You're obviously reading this because you or someone you know has had their world flipped upside down with an OWI charge. I understand how scared you are feeling, I was in the same boat April 2016. Mr. Boyle came highly recommended from a friend and I definitely made the right choice by hiring him. Mr. Boyle and staff were very attentive to my overwhelming concerns and went right to work. I had a prior OWVI charged from 2006 so this was no picnic. My biggest concern was jail, I didn't want to serve jail time. The sentencing Judge was new and had a history of handing out jail time with prior alcohol related charges. Needless to say I was scared to death! Mr. Boyle drove 45 mins to meet me and discuss my case, I immediately felt at ease and great about about the outcome of my case. Mr. Boyle kept me out of jail, also got my charges reduced to another OWVI which in my county is not to common. I was able to keep my license, my job and dignity. I promise you will not be disappointed retaining Mr. Boyle. He works hard for you and is attentive to your concerns. He will call, text or email whenever you have a question or concern. Hopefully by now you have decided Mr. Boyle is the lawyer for, you will not regret it!! Good luck to you!

I had never hired an attorney before a recent arrest for DUI/OWI. I don't know any attorneys and I never had a reason to contact an attorney before this event in my life. I was completely clueless on how to find a good DUI defense attorney. Luckily, I stumbled onto Avvo and found some reviews like this one recommending Barone Defense and Michael Boyle. I called Barone and a few other listings I found on Avvo on the Saturday night of a holiday weekend.

An associate from Barone named Kathy called me back within an hour. It sounds like a small detail, but her prompt return call was a major factor in me eventually hiring Michael Boyle and Barone Defense. The other law offices didn't call me back until Monday or Tuesday the next week. Also, Kathy understood the emotional state of mind I was in. She helped me feel a little less panicked which meant a lot in retrospect.

Kathy highly recommended Michael as one of the best DUI lawyers in Michigan and helped me set up the initial meeting. After talking with Michael and Kathy, I knew Barone was the obvious best choice for me. Being arrested for DUI is a very stressful event in anyone's life. One of the few sources of comfort I had was knowing that one of the preeminent DUI defense lawyers in Michigan was in my corner.

Michael has a well-established reputation in Michigan as a leader and advocate for the fair treatment of DUI defendants. He did a great job of clarifying what the possible outcomes would be in my case, which helped to relieve a lot of the stress and uncertainty. He also gave me step-by-step directions on how to rehabilitate my image with the court. Michael has a lot of experience in this field and knew how to put me and my case in the right light. My case had some unique characteristics including an Implied Consent violation and high BAC. Through his solid working relationships with the prosecutor and judge and his experience in handling matters like this, he was able to get my Implied Consent violation waived, which was a crucial factor in my life going forward.

All in all, I have nothing but the highest respect and appreciation for Kathy, Michael, and everyone I dealt with at Barone. Everyone was very professional, compassionate, and prompt to respond to my correspondence. The whole process was very efficient. Barone took care of all of the details while I tried to get back to a sense of normalcy in my life. If you are looking for a DUI defense team, you are probably very stressed-out. I encourage you to take the first step toward easing that stress by giving Barone a call. You are in good hands with Barone and Michael Boyle.

As an out-of-state client, I was extremely worried about laws, possible outcomes, and penalties I didn't understand. Michael and his team were very patient in explaining the steps I should take and how best to present myself to the Court. We achieved the best possible outcome and his advocacy was worth every penny. I'm so thankful he was there for me. The people of GR have a real champion in this man. When you're frightened and scattered, do not be afraid to call on them. Best decision I could have made.
