The Absolute Best Representation

We could not have asked for better representation, on behalf of my mother, than Michael Kade. From day one he was kind, informed, totally present for us and offered full transparency on all the steps that were to be taken in her case - and what we needed to do to properly prepare. My mother's E...nglish is a bit limited, and so it was of extreme value to us that he also speaks Farsi - So she was able to completely understand everything that was happening. We felt 100% taken care of and in the best hands. He is highly recommended!

Best lawyer

I got arrested a few months with some really bad charges. I didn’t know what attorney to hire, my parents highly recommend it Michael Kade. I hired him as my lawyer, even though my case was really against me. He was honest, responsive and very polite, he addressed me with any issues that was going on... with my case during the process. Even though it wasn’t looking so well for me, he went to court fought for me worked his magic and dismissed all my charges. I’m so happy that I ended up going with Michael Kade as my attorney and I will highly recommend him to anyone that was in situation. Thank you again Michael

Phenomenal lawyer

Simply phenomenal from start to finish! I couldn’t have had a more professional, knowledgeable, considerate lawyer than Michael Kade. I am forever grateful for him. He has always gone the extra mile and was always there for me and my family and most importantly got us results and got the job done w...ith integrity! I will continue to retain Michael Kade for all legal matters that may arise as I know I can trust him and I will be in the best hands!

Top Notch Attorney who gets results!

My wife and I utilized the legal services of Michael Kade and his law firm. We were very impressed by him and his team. Michael was very prompt, courteous and professional in all of our dealings. He has helped us with several highly sensitive business and personal matters. If you need legal assis...tance, I highly recommend you give Michael a call. He is one of the best lawyers that I have come across.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I was a public defender for almost a decade in LA. As such, I got to know a lot of private criminal attorneys. Most private attorneys were not noticeably prepared or engaged in their clients' cases. But, Michael stood out to me. He is engaged and prepared - the sign of an excellent defense lawyer. Michael truly cares for his clients and knows the law. He is not afraid to make his points, and go the extra mile for his client, especially in court. He is diplomatic, yet properly aggressive and persuasive. We have become good friends and trusted colleagues over the years. I am proud to say that because Michael is a class act. You should hire him with confidence and disregard any negative reviews here. He is an awesome, trustworthy lawyer. Period."

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.
