Criminal defense

First class attorney and law firm. Got everything thrown out and never had to see court room.

SOR removal

Scott was excellent. Told me the process, gave me some options, and some advice when I asked. I could tell he cared about his clients welfare and outcome by our conversations. He did win my case.

SOR Removal

Very pleased with Scott. He let me know what to expect, moved quickly, and kept me informed throughout the process. And, he took time to talk through scenarios and returned my calls when I had questions.

Hard working and honest attourney

Scott is well worth his money! He kept me informed and updated at all times. He is well versed in Iowa's OWI laws. Great personality and we'll respected with his peers. I highly recommend Scott for anybody looking for a defense attorney!!!!!!!

Don't waste your time & money!

Sent 1500 for retainer for him to represent my fiance for a revocation of probation hearing for not staying in contct with his p.o. for a drug charge in 2014. A warrant was issued & had a court hearing coming up on 7-28-17. He suggested that he get an evaluation from a treatment facility & to himsel...f into an inpatient rehab program. The earliest he could even get into anywhere local for an eval wasn't until end of august so he called a drug treatment call center & they did an eval over the phone, and matched him with a facility out of state, signed him up to be admitted & purchased his plane ticket all in that one phone call; which was scheduped for the very next day. He called him & told him of what had just been arranged for treatment. Scott said he had to talk to p.o. & county prosecutor for approval & would get back to him. Next day after 11 a.m. he calls to notify him that neither one would agree to him going into treatment. This is 3 hrs before I am supposed to board a plane! He was doing exactly what he suggested/advised him to do. He decided to go ahead with treatment- got paperwork sent stating he was in an inpatient program under Dr.'s care sent to his lawyer, prosecutor,& p.o. & immediately after that being sent my lawyer, Scott Michaels withdraws himself from my case- which was 1 week before hearing. Not an attorney you can count on for representation!! & sounds like i am getting $1000 back from the $1500 I had sent for a couple of phone calls!! Definetly did not have$500 in charges for a couple of phone calls! Had found him by researching attorneys online- Definetly do not recommend finding attorney this way!! Hopefully this will save someone else a lot of grief & money!! Beware!!
