Michael J. Boyle

Mr. Boyle and his firm helped me to gracefully navigate a stressful and trying time. Never having been in trouble with the law, I suddenly found myself needing to hire an attorney after being pulled over for an OWI. I didn't know where to start but was given the name of Mr. Boyle from family friend, ...who knew someone who he had represented in the past. From the first panicked phone call, his team provided support, resources, and guidance moving forward. Mr. Boyle educated me on each step of the legal process and what to expect along the way. Much of the paperwork was able to be completed online which is something simple but made a big difference for someone with an extremely busy schedule. He laid out all possible outcomes, and what would have to happen both on my end and on the legal system's end for those outcomes to occur. He encouraged me to be proactive in proving to the legal system that I took my arrest seriously. He was responsive to any and all questions and remained both caring and professional throughout the process. I never felt that he or his team were unreachable. His knowledge of the process as it pertains specifically to DUI defense is unmatched in my opinion. I ended with what I would consider to be a very favorable outcome and I highly recommend Mr. Boyle to anyone that unfortunately finds themselves in a similar situation.

I am a International student here in Michigan. Due to some unfortunate circumstances I met with an accident and I was arrested for High BAC DUI with a BAC of 0.27 which is around 4 times of the legal limit. I was charged with 4 charges including leaving the scene of accident, property damage etc., I ...had no clue how to face these charges as I am away from home. I was hopeless because I had no Idea how much this DUI would cost me in terms of money, time and most importantly jail term. If i go to jail, I will loose everything as Am the sole breadwinner of the family. I was recently graduated from a reputed University and I was in Job search. I had no money and support to face the situation. If I go to jail and serve some jail time, I would loose my life and my career in both my home country and in US. At that point I researched about DUI Attorneys in Michigan and Found out the Barone Defense firm is one of the best of its kind and I contacted them. I was assigned to Micheal Boyle who is highly experienced and Outstanding DUI attorney inn Michigan. As I had no money for the fees, they also suggested me a payment plan which i felt very comfortable in paying. Right From Day1, he suggested me what steps I should take to solve this case as much as possible. I got my dream job in the mean time and I was restricted not to leave Michigan as it is one of my bail conditions. Micheal Boyle took permission from the court and made me leave the court. It helped me in gaining my dream career from a hopeless situation. In my second Settlement Conference, Micheal Boyle proved me that I am proactive towards the case and making different choices and he also presented my financial situation to the judge as an immigrant and he got me a "NO JAIL" recommendation from the prosecuting Attorney. On the same day i was taken to trial and Judge sentenced me One year non reporting probation and the best part is "NO JAIL" which saved my life here in US and in my home country. Dropping 4 charges to 1 charge and making the case simple is just because Micheal Boyle. Even the judge told me that I should thank my attorney. He was always Honest with me and always promised me that he will do the best he can to save me from my worst situation and finally "He did it..!!!" With my experience, I would highly recommend Micheal for any DUI cases. Thank you for giving me a platform to share my experience!

I made a costly mistake last year in Michigan by having one too many cocktails and being arrested for OWI. Having not so much as a speeding ticket, this was life changing for me and I scoured the internet seeking someone that could help guide me though this horrible experience. After talking to about... 15 attorneys, I decided on Mike because the reviews were great, he seemed to know his stuff, and, at the time, I was a believer in you get what you pay for. Mike and his team were very responsive right up to the payment and the first consult, then it felt like I was always chasing for answers. It did not seem to go over very well if I questioned the direction and I guess that was my fault for not having been through as many of these as Mike. I've just never been one to blindly accept a direction when I'm the one ultimately paying. In the end and after literally a 5-minute closed door conversation between Mike and the clerk, I was offered a reduction to OWVI along with the 6 other people that were before me while I sat to wait for my turn to admit my guilt. My other alternative was to produce even more money to go to trial in a coin flip at either getting the full OWI, case thrown out (which I was told to be pretty solid), or getting it reduced to OWVI. After this experience, I will never even take the chance on a second glass of wine at dinner.

We are enormously indebted to attorney Michael Boyle for his expert handling of my case. I had been arrested after getting into a head-on collision with another car with a BAC that would have been classified as "superdrunk" plus a few civil infractions, and he got it down to nothing more than a regul...ar OWI with 6 months probation. From our first meeting with Mr. Boyle, we were immediately reassured that whatever the circumstances, in him we would find the best defense possible. He has worked in this court system and with these people for years, and had invaluable insight to the procedures and paths available to our case. He truly cares about his clients, and makes sure to know you on a personal level when he takes your case. He's very up front, he'll never promise something he can't guarantee, but he does know the best case-scenarios and how to best prepare so as to get there. He made sure I had the best possible portfolio of steps to have taken by the time I went before the magistrate, and then before the judge, so that it was clear to him that my arrest was the result of a single poor, and ultimately uncharacteristic decision made by a usually responsible person at a very hard time in my life. He is always available, day or night, to take any calls or questions you might have, and I always felt that navigating the steps of my defense was like being on a ship with Mr. Boyle as the very capable captain steering it along, I just had to keep it running by making sure I was doing the things he suggested that helped prove the kind of person I was. The cost to hire him is money very well spent, and I am eternally grateful to him for getting me where I am today. Thanks, Mike, so much for everything!
