Intimidating!

I knew from my first phone call with this guy, that he was the guy! He is extremely intelligent and sharp. If you are like my family and have been embroiled in a never-ending custody drama, this is your guy. He is book smart and people smart. That comes in handy if the other party has gotten away wit...h manipulating the system and your rights until now. Michael really wipes a lot of the bs away with a no nonsense approach. He is eccentric and has his own methods of doing things but I have seen more change and progress in our case in barely a month with him than we have in the past 5 years with multiple other lawyers. He is not afraid to go to trial, he actually wants to and he is really comfortable in the courtroom. We have had very positive results at our past few hearings. All of the legal stuff aside, he's a good person and you would be lucky to know him and even luckier to have him represent you.

Amazing Attorney Hand's Down!!!!

I just want to say this, NEVER in my life did I think I would need a criminal defense attorney... BUT with that being said I am so glad that I found Mr. Urbano & that he was in my corner, he not only went above a beyond but he totally turned my family's life around. I would recommend him over & over ...again! True crusader for the cause!! We ere honored to have Mr. Urbano as our Attorney thank you so very much!! Harmoney Chavez

He is a crusader of justice!!

My daughter had some very serious allocations against her... Not only did Mr. Urbano, work the case & we saw justice, but he got ALL of the charges dropped. He is truly one of a kind Attorney!!! I would love to pay it forward just like he did for my daughter... Thank you so very much, Mr. Urbano

Great Attorney!!

Michael is a great attorney! I have been through two attorneys over 6 months and was glad to find him when I did because I had filed a restraining order on my EX boyfriend PABLO SAWYER who just kept harassing me and threatened to kill me at my sons daycare. We have a child in common and all he does i...s cause drama and try to hurt and attack me anyway he can. PABLO SAWYER is a dangerous person and Michael helped me win my case against PABLO SAWYER by making PABLO look so dumb that he was stumbling over his words in court and he didn't know what to do or say!! Michael knew exactly what to do and is very smart and knowledgable of the law and I would recommend him to anyone who is trying to find a great attorney because now I have piece of mind that my EX PABLO SAWYER can't harrass me or threaten me anymore and if he does PABLO SAWYER will be put in jail!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your help Michael! Love Tinesha and Preston :)

Michael Urbano is hands-down the BEST Attorney in Arizona!

Michael UIrbano has to be the best attorney in Phoenix! he is simply amazing at what he does. He is never affraid to go the distance for his clients. I owe my freedom and my very life to him because he believed in me. He is a great professional lawyer and I'm proud to recommend him to anyone. He is p...robably the only attorney who truley cares more about his clients than their money.
