Amazing guy, highly recommended

Hiring Micheal as my lawyer was the best decision I could have made after my arrest. He is very knowledgeable and cares for his clients well being, making sure that you are comfortable and up to date with information on your case. He is very attentive and responds almost immediately every time I trie...d getting a hold of him. Micheal made sure i was always informed and that i was comfortable with the direction the case is going. I would recommend Micheal to friends and family in a heartbeat.

Personal, Professional, Experienced

Michael is a personable, knowledgeable legal professional who guided me through the entire DUI process, with reasonable availability and response times, and at a very reasonable, competitive rate. I was mostly aware of every turn of my journey, and knew what to expect -- which was very important to ...me as a first-time offender.

Life Saver

Contacting Michael Pittman after my arrest was the best decision I could have made. Given this was my first run in with the law, I was extremely confused and anxious about what to do next. Michael’s incredible knowledge of the system and sincere concern for my well-being and understanding of the leg...al process made everything less stressful and confusing. He was in constant contact with me to ensure I knew about my court dates and the status of his thorough investigations. He was also available day and night to answer my questions – always replying the same day with the information I needed. Ultimately, his promise to get the best result for me and my family held true as he was able to negotiate a favorable and fair plea that has allowed my life to continue with relatively little interruption. I feel like my situation could have ended up much worse without Michael and while I vow to never need him again, I won’t hesitate to give him a call or recommend him to a friend in the future.

Knowledgable and helpful

I am a recent client of Michael Pittman for an extreme DUI. Michael helped my case a great deal with his experience in the field and his ability to select the most appropriate approach to the case and the circumstances. I would highly recommend Michael Pittman as a go-to person for DUI cases

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.
