Scott was great

Scott was very professional, he kept me up to date on my situation and answered every questions I had. He was able to negotiate a plea deal, and keep me from a felony.

Fantastic Lawyer

I couldn't have asked for better service. Scott helped me out on two separate occasions and each were not simple but Scott was able to get the best result possible. I received an OWI in the fall. I had recently just moved to Iowa and had previously had a DUI in another state so I was looking at a 2nd... offense. Scott was able to get this knocked down to a 1st offense and I avoided any jail time. Fast forward 6 months and low and behold I get another OWI. I obviously didn't learn my lesson (I have now, believe me). So now I'm looking at a 3rd which is pretty serious. My anxiety was at an all time high. Scott and his assistant were always there to answer questions. They helped calm me down and kept me informed with everything going on. Scott was able to keep this at a 2nd offense which I know wasn't easy since I got these back to back like this. His knowledge of the law and willingness to go above and beyond for his clients is why I would recommend him to anybody. I will forever be grateful to Scott and one of the best sections I ever made was hiring him.

Needing a good attorney?

Scott did everything in his power to represent me as his client & to ensure that the law was followed properly by the Carroll Co. Police dept. He spent time reviewing video footage related to my case, attending hearings (which he won), & holding the officer/co. Prosecutor responsible for following t...he law as they should. He was upfront about costs and always got back to me in a timely manner. I would highly recommend spending the money to hire Scott Michels as your attorney if you are needing a defense attorney in any DUI case. It was well worth what I paid him in the end!

Two not guilty verdicts regarding owi and possession of marijuana.

A family member suggested Scott to me. As a young adult I needed help. He was very skilled and professional when dealing with Black hawk county. I decided to take it to trial. After less than an hour of deliberation on the second day the jury returned exonerating me of the charges.
