5 Star Lawyer!

All I can say is Michael and Marci basically turned my 4 felony charges and dismissed 3 and made felony charge turned into a misdemeanor! Great lawyers always there when you need him or advice. I recommend him as a 5 Star lawyer no other lawyer can work hard on a case like he does. I had joe lopez ak...a the shark and let me tell you Michael is better and knows the court system inside out! Thank you Mike and Marci. Jose

Avvo Rating

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.
