Lazy with zero effort, respect, or communication

DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT ALLOW THIS MAN TO REPRESENT YOU. Impossible to get ahold of not to mention all he tries to do is shove a “good” plea down your throat and if you say no he literally will get mad and start yelling at you throwing accusations that it’s your fault this and that. YOUR THE CLIE...NT NOT THE ATTORNEY. This is his job ,which he does thee absolute bare minimum. He doesn’t give a crap it’s not his life on the line. Absolutely will not fight for you. Obviously I’m sure if you retained him and he was being paid privately rather than through the state maybe he would care a little bit but seriously doubtful.

Look no further, this is your lawayer!

Michael is well educated in the judicial system, he’s an amazing lawyer and worth every penny!! I was looking at ALOT of time, that I walked away with a few years of probation. He guided me through every process and was always there to answer my every question. I’d recommend him to anybody in need of... a lawyer!

Guess we should of toss him some money!

Looks like if you have a DUI or $ he'll do his job..NO MONEY you'll do the time w the comment "take it, it's a good plea" We gave him straight out hand written evidence and he called it "chicken scratch" n said "what do you want me to do w it"..Really? Gave a plea to his client that got pulled due to... checking the box that stated "I do not have more than 2 felonies"..I had 7..he didn't even take ownership in front of the judge but blamed my young age n said "she didn't understand" your the attorney to advise and help them understand..no interviews to a counteractive statement in police report..I was looking at 5mo in DOC w 1st plea, got 4.5yr w redone 2nd plea ..probably time served n an apology if interviews had been done and pleas read correctly..guess we should of waved $$$$$ at him to get him to do his job..oops an oxymoron ...his job weather paid or not is to defend you to the fullest..don't take public cases if your not willing to do YOUR JOB.. brush up and reread the oath you swore by..represent your client fully! No $..ask to change counsel for someone who will do their job!

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.
