Thanks, Mike

I owe u bigtime! I had criminal case and went to court without a lawyer. The judge said I needed one, and I saw Mike in court. He looked and talked like the smartest guy there and I talked to him outside. He was real easygoing. Not like most lawyers, who are real dicks. They think they're god's gi...ft, if you know what I mean. We went to court a bunch of times and nothing. I told Mike, "I can't do jail. I can't do jail. Whatever you got to do to keep me out of jail." He kept telling me to relax. Let him worry about it. The day of trial, the DA offered a deal. It was a lot better then the 2 months of jail they wanted before. It was only 30 days staying at home with 2 years probation. Mike told me they didn't have a case and the reason they dropped was because they were weak. I told him 30 days on the ankle monitor was perfect. He said let me see if I can do better. And he made me a deal. He said if he can't do better than 30 days, he would give me all my money back. He went to talk to the DA in the hallway, and I was standing about 10 feet away. The DA offered 10 days, Mike said...."Are you f-ing kidding me. I don't even have to present a defense and we win. Just dismiss it and I'll buy ya lunch. Call it a good day" The DA, who was a real a-hole to me, said, "Come on, what do you want?" Mike said, "Dismiss it...or let's just go to trial. I'm board. I cleared two days for this, so F-it...let's go." They dropped everything! Now that's what I'm talking about! That guy has some big ass balls because I didn't think we had a chance to win the trial. He did. Mike...thanks. You saved my ass. I know your real low-key and don't want no publicity. But I had to. I owe you bigtime brother.

Best attorney ever

Michael represented my son in a criminal case and from the moment we first met at his office to the end he was incredible. He did everything he said he would and more. When we went to trial, he explained exactly how we were going to win, and it was unbelievable. The district attorney did everyt...hing Michael said he would do. Michael had everything covered and the jury loved him. There is something about him that juries love. I don't know what it is. I know he's really cute and very friendly and a nice guy and from just listening to him you know he's super smart. But there's something else about him that people just like him and want to believe him. I'm so happy for my son that we found him. God bless you, Michael.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Censure issued in CO, 2015

updated on 06/01/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
