Great experience

Michael was outstanding to work with, I didn't have much experience dealing with legal issues before, but he made the entire process extremely easy and I was very happy with the result.

Great lawyer that makes you feel like you matter

Mike is great to work with. He makes you feel like you matter and that your case matters. I have used Mike multiple times and will recommend him to everyone. He is quick to response to your emails and is always there to answer questions.

Fast, Efficient & Reliable = Optimal Outcome

I had gotten into a car accident; and because police were called to the scene I was given a citation and a mandatory court date. I was ready dealing with the expense of having a car that was totaled and the looming car insurance increases that were coming. I reached out to Michael and he was very r...eceptive and handled my situation very quickly. It was the outcome that I had hoped for and it happened a lot quicker than I was expecting. If you're like me you are looking for a quality attorney who can help you out. That's exactly what I found with Michael. He was willing to take my phone call at anytime and explain exactly what was going to happen in every step of the way. These guys are building a practice the right way by under promising and over-delivering and creating positive outcomes. I would recommend this firm 10 times over.

DUI advice & representation

Knowledgeable & professional. For a first-time offender, unfamiliar with the legal system, Michael provided excellent advice & recommendations for proactive steps prior to appearance in court for a DUI charge. He was available for personal contact, either by email or phone. Very satisfied - Yes, I... would recommend his firm to others in my situation. I am glad that I did not go in to court "on my own" without representation.

Posted by anonymous | September 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Mike McDonough exceeded our expectations!

Mike McDonough exceeded our expectations in an expungement for our son. He was recommended to us by a very good source and made himself available to us as soon as he could. He was professional and thorough in the consult so we hired him to do the work which normally takes 4 months but Mike talked to... the prosecutor and the expungement was complete in 2 1/2 weeks.

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.
