Michael J. Boyle

Back in December I made a terrible mistake and drove home after a day of trying some breweries in Grand Rapids to try and meet new people as I am new to Michigan. Unfortunately, I put my truck I'm a ditch and blew a .13 and was completely surprised and devastated. I've never had a point on my licen...se and never got into trouble so this was a completely new and terrifying territory for me. After shopping around a few lawyer firms I got in contact with Barone Legal and immediately felt better that they were behind me. They assigned me Michael Boyle and I am glad they did. Michael will reach out to you and hear your story to the finest detail. He will use everything detail and resource to put together the best case possible. He is a very busy attorney but will never hesitate to respond to texts or emails. Michael guided me through all the procedures and kept me well prepared for every step. He was able to get my OWI knocked down to a OWVI and fines and court costs. Michael and the entire Barone Legal team were phenomenal in their performance and are worth every penny. I appreciate all of their services greatly, and want to make sure to avoid any possible mistake like this again to prove to them that their services spring boarded a great rebound from the most difficult time of my life!

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.

Michael J. Boyle is the best OWI/DUI attorney you can hire. In November 2015 I was charged and arrested for a OWI charge in Ann Arbor, Michigan during my visit from Toronto. I didn't knew whom should I consult regarding my charges. Then one of my friends referred me about Boyle and then we went to d...iscuss about the case. After taking to the Barone Defence, my stress was relieved a bit but I was still worried, how will I come on all the court dates from Toronto. I realized that I have definitely made the right choice by hiring him when he helped me by waiving off some of my court appearances. And finally in September 201 6 my case was dismissed. All thanks to Mike Boyle's efforts he put into my case. I have no words to thank him for saving my life. He was very thorough through the entire process. His preparation and professionalism is second to none. Mike was very gracious with his time, answering numerous phone calls and explaining and re-explaining until I understood the process. The support staff is also very professional and kept me posted about the case. I highly recommend Michael J. Boyle for OWI/DUI charges. Your money will be worth spend and will be proud of your decision about hiring Mike Boyle after the final decision.

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.
