BEST LAWYER IN MICHIGAN

This guy saved my life! The court trumped everything up on my case to 9 felonies for simply being 5 days late returning a rental vehicle!. And I have only misdemeanors on my record! He is pricey as all good lawyers should be. But really, what price do you put on your record and your freedom? If I wou...ld have stayed with court appointed, I would still probably be in jail or worse, prison! Hopefully, I will never be in such a serious situation with the court again, but if I am, I know who my first call will be to. Thank you again, Michael and please continue fighting so aggressively for your client's rights!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
