Insightful and Knowledgeable

Michael was able to help and guide my family and I through a criminal case by explaining how the process works and how to best move forward. He gave me alternatives that would be appropriate to our specific scenario, and always had answers for any question I had.

Posted by Ernesto | December 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

The right attorney

I had to have a very good lawyer in the criminal and immigration branch I was concerned I would not find the right one. Fortunately, I had time on my side. For two weeks I consulted five different lawyers in the valley for criminal and immigration but unfortunately they lacked something. In the en...d I chose Michael. In the consultation I immediately knew that Michael should be hired for his extensive knowledge, honesty, ethics, capability and experience. He did a great job and ended up going further and getting better results than I expected.

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.
