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!

Great Attorney

What do you look for when you are hiring the best? I personally look for a person I can relate to, someone professional, someone who has the credentials and the experience to back it up. But overall I look for someone who can get the job done. If you are looking for someone to help you get through yo...ur legal issues, look no further than Michael Souccar. He was great, attentive, and easy to get a hold of. Michael Souccar and his staff are very professional, and best of all Mr. Souccar got the job done. I was looking at doing some major time after my second DUI (Extreme DUI). Michael Souccar fought for me and brought it down to just some fines and 48hours of jail time. I would not have been able to do this without him. Even the judge told me how lucky I was. I placed my life on Michael Souccar’s hands and he did not let me down. I will recommend him to anyone.

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.
