Great experience

I truly can't explain how much a help Mike was. He took the incentive to explain everything as well as take care of my case. He made sure everything was in order. I suggest you take the time to consult with him and see how he works. Would definitely hire him again.

Great lawyer!

Michael really gave me a clear view of what my options would be. He made things a lot less scary and was realistic about my outcome. Definitely guided me through the whole process and he had my fines lowered substantially.

Expungement

I was looking for some help with getting a previous case expunged from my record, I reached out to a different law firm and they notified me that it would not be possible. I reached out to Michael for a second opinion, and he understood the law and was able to successfully get my case expunged. Glad... I was reached out to him for a second opinion!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knows His Stuff

I spoke with Mike to get some advice about an issue with a stolen dog. He told me how the legal system would view it, how to approach the cops about it, possible outcomes, and what next steps would look like if we needed to move forward and hire him. He said while he would love to take a case like th...is, it might be more costly than we'd like so try his initial approach first and see how it goes. Dog was returned later that day. Not only does he know what he's doing but he's honest and fair and not just seeing dollar signs when talking with potential clients.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
