I am a DWI TRIAL ATTORNEY. It is important to have an attorney that will fight cases at trial and obtain not guilty verdicts, even when dealing with high breath/blood alcohol scores and bad driving facts. I'm a fighter!

Family violence defence

I am about 3 years late on this review. Jonathan is an excellent attorney and he works hard on all his cases. He keeps his clients well informed and when you contact him for questions or issues concerning your case he always gets back with you the same evening. His background as a highly respected a...nd successful prosecutor is priceless. I was charged with two misdemeanor family violence causing bodily injury and he was very sure of getting both dismissed and he would gave if i wouldn't have violated the no contact order. It was mutual contact but someone reported it to the D.A.s office. Jonathan was able to keep me from jail with a plea deal of deferred adjudicated probation which i completed 2 years ago and was seen as a model probationer. I would absolutely hire Jonathan if I ever needed an attorney in the future but I am confident ill never put myself in a foolish situation again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need.

Professional, timely, affordable!

Jonathan recently helped me get a case thrown out and save my career and life! He was professional and responded to all questions and concerns as soon as I had them. He gave me a clear understanding of what would happen each step of the way. With all the covid stuff going on and recent lay off I was ...not able to pay the whole fee of representation up front but Jonathan was able to work out a payment plan that I could afford and still get the representation I needed! Big thanks to Jonathan for all the hard work and doing right by me! Going to use him for any needs In the future for sure!!

Awesome, straight-shooting attorney

Jonathon handled my case with such professionalism. He also has a great relationship with the judges, DA and the probation officers. My probation was tough and he made it as smooth as possible. I had some issues along the way and he was always very honest and told me exactly what I needed to do to ge...t through everything. He's got a disposition and was always there for me. I would highly recommend him to handle your case.

Jonathan is attentive and articulate. He cares about his clients.

When hiring an attorney, it's essential to know that they will be available when you need them. Jonathan was. I hired him for a family member and it was the best decision I could have made. Throughout the process, I was "kept in the loop." I would suggest Jonathan to anyone needing a solid, trustwort...hy, honest and affordable attorney.

Supreme Process

From the start until the finish he was always available. Never leaving me out of the loop and constantly reassuring me I was making the correct decisions for me. During my case I asked him what should I do? He told me that's a decision I would have to make for myself but whichever I chose he would re...present and back me. Stating the facts about who had the most to loose. Which was me so it's a decision I ultimately had to make. That assisted in my confidence and helped me choose not to take a plea. The DA offered me 7 years probation or face 5 to 10 if convicted. I knew I was innocent and went to trial after nearly three years, my case was dismissed and I know I made the best decision of hiring John Michelle.
