Seamless Experience

From start to finish Michael was totally professional and kept me informed throughout this legal matter. Everything you would want in a lawyer.

Posted by anonymous | October 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Wouldn't recommend anyone else but him!

Where do I start? I was unfortunately one of the many people to get arrested for a dui, thinking my life was over, couldn't sleep, called what seemed like every attorney in the valley, and then was still panicking after talking to them all. I was completely freaking out over all of that PLUS paying m...oney I didn't have to hire an attorney. Thank goodness I Didn't stop and just settle with one of them because they had a good sales speech, and I found Michael. He met with me almost immediately, (drove a good 45 minutes just to meet closer to where I live) explained everything, the process, the different outcomes that could happen, what our plan was going to be. He worked with me with payments, was very helpful, assured me my life was not over, (which it is not, and yours isn't either) and got me the best possible outcome that could have happened. He kept me updated with every detail that happened, texts at least once a week, and he's always available to answer questions, yes even if he's in court you will get a response. Given the circumstances, I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out, and Michael Pittman is the reason for that! Look no further, don't waste another 30 minutes on the phone with yet another attorney, save yourself the time and hire Michael!

Excellent

I chose Michael Pittman after speaking with many attorneys after I got my dui. He did a great job with my case. He was upfront in what to expect and how the whole process worked. He was detailed in everything he was going to do in fighting my case. Every week I was given an update and never left out ...in the blue. If I needed to reach him he was always there and if not he was very quick with his turnaround responses. The outcome of my case was far greater than I expected. I'm glad I contacted Michael Pittman to represent me.

Wonderful experience

Working with Michael was a wonderful experience. He made me feel as if my case was the most important, kept in constant contact, and explained every question i had thoroughly. Very grateful to have a lawyer that made me feel like a real person instead of just another case. Thanks Michael!

Best in the business

I was arrested for a super extreme DUI. I called about 7 different attorneys. One of the three that called back was Mr. Pittman. Right away he took interest and concern. He gave me his full attention, on a week night at home with his family, and also great advice the first time we spoke. He made my ...payments affordable and was very understanding. He always checked in with me even if we didn't have a court date for a few weeks out. He was able to push court dates to fit my needs. I was extremely satisfied with his representation. Sentence was reduced by about 90 percent. 3 days in and 11 on house arrest. I honestly thought it was to good to be true. People of Arizona.... If you do unfortunately get arrested for a DUI. This is the guy you want. It's what he does, and is very good at it. Thanks again Michael Pittman!
