About Michael

I believe in compassionate and ethical representation of my clients.  Throuhout my practice, I have learned that clients value communication as one of the most essential aspects in choosing a lawyer.  Anyone who hires a lawyer wants to be kept informed as to the status of their case.  I am always just a phone call away for my clients, and voicemail messages will never go unanswered. 

 

When not practicing law, I can be found playing softball, working out at the gym, singing in my church choir, or performing in the DCBA's annual Judge's Nite show.

Review Michael Drabant

Excellent Attorney

Posted by EthanFri Sep 18 2015

Mike represented me with respect to a suspended license mess that I had gotten myself into. I was scared at what could happen as this was entirely out of character for me. Mike was very knowledgable and proactive. He provided sound advice and guidance. i received supervision and some community service to be completed within a year. Mike was on top of things and 10 days prior to the court date (which was set in 2014 for 2015), he contacted me and made sure we had our ducks in a row. I appreciated the follow up and his thoughtfulness. The process was relatively hassle free and Mike's fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend him.
