Local Expert on Expungement

Michael is magic. My original case was dismissed without prejudice, (meaning it could come back). Michael was able to get the case dismissed WITH prejudice, (meaning it can not be re-opened), and subsequently expunged from my record. Through this entire process, Mike kept me informed, told me ...what was happening, discussed possible outcomes and overcame objections offered by the prosecution. I was completely and thoroughly satisfied with his efforts, communications, and results. Bye the way, Micheal is a local expungement expert having published articles on the process in Utah. He is a great criminal defense attorney, and I can not recommend him highly enough.

Best in the business

Mike was referred to me by my previous lawyer and it was one of the best referrals I have received in life. Was in need of a speedy and clean expungement from a small discretion in my past. This was needed quickly as I surprised with a background check for a potential client and couldn't have my re...putation ruined for something that happened many years ago and was in the past. Mike was more than effective in helping me get things done in a timely manner, expediting where he could to reduce the timeline, and making sure all my bases were covered. I was able to successfully pass the detailed background check thanks to Mike's knowledge and hard work. Would recommend Mike to anyone looking to get an expungement done and would tell you he was worth every penny and I wouldn't blink twice about hiring him again or referring him to friends/family. Mike is a true professional and great person! Mike was also a very nice guy and cared about me as his client. Answered my calls and emails, talked me through my options, and was the expert I was looking for. These are rare qualities in an attorney and it made working with Mike even better. Mike's law firm also represented me on my previously mentioned discretion, and that was also a great experience. Would recommend this law firm to anyone looking for talented and passionate lawyers to get the job done!

When they tell you it CAN'T be done - Get Mike Holje!

Mike literally saved my life! I was a convicted violent felon with drug/gun history to boot. I spent years turning my life around - went to college, earned a master's degree and graduated Magna Cum Laude as an undergrad. But nobody would give me a chance to prove myself. Mike helped me turn that ...around. He believed in me, and he got the State of Utah to believe in me. My felony was not expungeable, but Mike got the State to agree to reduce it to a misdemeanor - thus making it eligible. Today, I have NO criminal record and am employed in a management position with a very reputable company. I cannot emphasize enough to anyone who needs help out there, that when nobody can help you - Mike Holje CAN! I owe him so much more that this review could ever provide. If you need an expungement, this is your attorney. Call him right now, and don't waste your time talking to anyone else like I did before I met him. There was literally NO attorney in the Salt Lake area who could help me. I had all but given up when I met Mike. He's open, honest, realistic, and down to Earth. To say that I recommend him would be the greatest understatement of my life. If you need an attorney, you need Mike Holje. Thank you Mike!

Expungement case

My case ended in a success. My expungement was questionable considering it was considered domestic violence. However, after the District Attorney's objections to the expungement, I was cleared. After years of paying my debt back to society, lost income, unable to get past background screening, my... misdemeanor was cleared from my record. Thank you Michael.
