Knows the his way around the courtroom

I have hired Michael twice. He beat my first case and walked me to the door of trial on the second, where the state made an offer I couldn't refuse. He was very flexible with payments and understanding. The people complaining that you didn't walk away from the justice system unscathed because you hir...ed an attorney, lol welcome to the American justice system. Michael is a skilled attorney not a free get out of jail card. My only complaint with him was being late a few times to court. Even though he always called balliff and let them know his approximate arrival time. All in all genuinely nice guy and great attorney. Would hire him again if ever needed but that chapter in life is over. I would recommend Michael to a friend in trouble.

BEST CHICAGOLAND LAWYER AROUND!

I don't know why the idiots are filling your heads with lies, but Michael is the best lawyer around. He saved my sons life and I can't thank him enough. Although I won't say the details of the case, my son could have been facing 20 years in jail if it wasn't for Michael. He should be getting paid DOU...BLE the amount he charges for his kind of work! Best Chicagoland lawyer around!

Review

When Holzman told me he was a prosecutor for 19 years but switched to defense for the money I should have looked for someone else. Instead I listened to the same line of bs he obviously, by reading these other reviews, tells everyone! My case should have been dropped at the bond hearing. Mike didn't ...even question him. Subsequently after a year of continuances I was convicted and thrown in the county. I lost my job. Mike didn't even ask for probation or work release! When my family and union called him to learn the particulars he copped an attitude and said he was no longer associated with the case! He didn't even file an appeal on my behalf! I wouldn't recommend him to represent the Virgin Mary for spitting on the sidewalk!

BLOOD SUCKING LEECH...

This lawyer is a blood sucking leech, we paid him in full with promises of being the best , and how he was friends with the judges,He did nothing for us, he charge 5,000 us and for what I heard he charges everyone the same, and doesn't do anything, people like this man depend on hard working people... to live good ,I regret hiring him and hope no one take this as a joke review please don't hired him ...
