Great Attorney

Mike is a former U.S. Marine and as a veteran, I felt very fortunate to have met him. He represented me and when I thought my case was not going my way in court, Mike was thorough with his preparation and was able to get the jury and judge to view his common sense line of questioning. I have utilized... Mike several times since my first interaction since then and he always great advice and if he wasn’t an expert with what I needed legally he would refer me to someone that could assist me. I wish more attorneys were as easy to contact as Mike is and I would 100% recommend him.

Exceptional Service

Trying to find the words to write this review has taken me months. As I didn’t know where to start. So I’m going to start by saying THANK YOU. From the depths of my heart. Your service and work to help me will forever be ingrained into my life. You helped and believed in my HOA case from day one. Att...y. Michael Anello is intelligent and dedicated. He is driven and amazing! I always felt like a priority and my case was handled exceptionally. He understands my situation and genuinely cares. He takes the initiative on how to progress and move forward in great detail in "The Settlement letter." He has a sharp legal mind and is paired with great communication skills. I highly recommend his services. I am grateful that I found attorney Anello.

Outstanding Legal Representative

Michael Anello is a consummate legal professional . I retained him on a matter that could of needlessly escalated , however , he was able to resolve it successfully . Michael has a depth and breadth experience that few attorneys possess; he was a former prosecutor and licensed to practice law in both... Florida and Nevada. Michael works hard to provide quality top tier legal services and strategies. He does his homework and ensures his legal strategy is supported by case law and practical wisdom. Excellent legal representation is worth its weight in gold. I trust my legal needs to Michael. He is definitely 5 Star service. I feel 100% confident in referring family or friends to him should the need arise. Sincerely, Kevin

Top Notch Defense Lawyer

While vacationing in Key West, I was arrested by the KYPD during a late night traffic stop and was in need of a legal defense attorney rather quickly. I was pointed in the direction of the firm for which Michael works by a local and it turned out to be an excellent choice of counsel. My case ultimate...ly went to trial after a lengthy string of continuances and the thoroughness and attention to detail regarding the facts in my case were clearly displayed in the courtroom as Michael presented factual evidence and cross examined witnesses before a six member jury in my defense. His command of the courtroom was amazing in and of itself. The entire legal team at the firm performed remarkably which resulted in a most favorable outcome at trial. I was always kept abreast of developments as they occurred and had constant communication via phone calls and emails throughout the process. Thank you to Sam, Michael, Maria, and Caroline. So if you should find yourself in need of a thorough, competent, and aggressive criminal defense and an attorney who can execute such a strategy in the courtroom, if need be, look no further than Michael Anello of The Law offices of Samuel J. Kaufman.

Highly Recommend - Helped Us With A Difficult Case from Out of Town

I highly recommend Michael Anello should you find yourself arrested in Key West and in need of a defense lawyer. Michael handled our case for us and prepared for trial even though we live quite far from Key West. He updated us by phone and made sure that we only had to go to Key West right before t...he trial, which ultimately was dismissed just two days before the trial date. Michael has a background as both a prosecutor and a probation officer, so we felt confident with the experience he had. He is very strategic. He knew the details of how both sides of the case would go, which made him a good defender. Michael is a confident attorney and a commensurate professional; I would recommend to those who need a good defense lawyer for criminal cases in Key West.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I tried several cases with Mike as co-counsel. There were a couple of times I thought a case was hopeless and we ended up winning. Mike is a pit bull. He knows how to break down a case to its basic components and attack the state at their weakest point. A lot of attorneys know the law, but Mike really has a clear understanding of how to use that knowledge to get results."
