I don't want to give too many personal details, but I have had an 8 year old case that every lawyer I spoke to, guaranteed me that I'm going to do some amount of jail time. I heard everything from a year to a week. Truthfully when I contacted Mr.Michaels, I was also speaking with a couple of other la...wyers about my case. Lawyers that were quoting me up to TEN times the amount that Mr.Michaels charged me. All of them were sure I would do jail time. Mr.Michaels went to court for me, after acting as my personal therapist via text for almost a month...and got my entire case closed and dismissed. I am still in shock and I cannot believe this is real. My absolute wildest best expectations were exceeded and doubled. I don't expect to find myself in any future legal trouble, but if I do I will only call Mr.Michaels. If my family or friends need a lawyer, I will only refer Mr.Michaels. i wish I could put into words how happy I am with this attorney and how happy my family is.

What can I say other than Brian Michaels is an AMAZING attorney. I was faced with a rather confusing legal problem for years. Despite reaching out to numerous attorneys I was unable to settle the matter. Upon reaching out to Brian, I finally found an attorney with the knowledge, skill set, and experi...ence needed to quickly handle the issue. Brian was incredibly compassionate and always very easy to reach. He was always willing to answer my phone calls or emails within a moment's notice and always made a point to listen to my concerns from start to finish. He explained to me everything I needed to know and made me feel at ease given that I was finally in the right company. If it hadn't been for Brian Michaels' hard work, determination, and knowledge, I would still be floating in legal purgatory. If you are considering hiring an attorney in regards to criminal law, PLEASE consider reaching out to him first.

My search for a criminal defense attorney began when my son was arrested twice in one week for repeat of felony charges. They will result in 2 strikes. He is in "big trouble" and he is a young man facing his life in prison. I spent hours reading the bio's of the candidates I selected, checking into... their education and client ratings. Brian consistently kept coming up at the top and always 10 out of 10 client satisfaction. I contacted him on this web page, got a call back the very same afternoon from him personally. Within the first hour, he pulled my sons charges and reviewed them with me, letting me know from the very beginning that they were of a very serious nature and would be difficult at best. Brian did not promise miracles, he talked with me ( for an hour and a half) on his own time, no up front fee's or even discussion of the cost involved to retain him. I was convinced of his knowledge of the law, his compassion for helping other people but, "most of all' listening and hearing what I had to say and my very real concerns. In 15 days, I have had daily contact with him. We've exchanged phone calls, e-mails and to date 138 texts. My complete confidence in his ability to represent my son with the best possible outcome has filled my heart with peace. If you are a parent reading this, you understand the value of having the inner calm that comes from knowing that you have done your very best. It is my honor to recommend with the most heartfelt and highest regard; Brian Russell Michaels!

Brian Michaels is was an excellent lawyer for my traffic court case. Saved me hundreds in increased insurance premiums. Most of all, he saved me the time and hassle of going to court! I contacted him two days before my court date, and he was able to arrange an appearance within minutes. Could not... have been more pleased with his timeliness and professionalism. Will be recommending to all friends and family in the LA area! 5 star rating is well deserved!!!

I couldn't be any happier with my decision to have Brian represent me in my 1st offense DUI case. My career in the National Guard Army was on the line, and after speaking with many lawyers, I felt the most comfortable with Brian. I could sense he had a lot of knowledge and experience with this type o...f case. On top of that, not only did he work with me with the price, he gave me all the case facts, and never sugarcoated how difficult this case might be. I made the mistake of not reading all of my DVI papers and was unaware of having to call the DVI within 10 days for a hearing. Brian helped me just in time, and was the only lawyer who provided the idea of getting letters from my supervisor, coworkers, and close friends to prove I am a good person who made one mistake, so I would have a fighting chance with the DA. Through the entire process, Brian answered quickly through text and emails to keep me well informed. When the court date finally arrived, with the help of Brian's partner, Daniel Peebles, they were able to work a deal with the DA. The DUI was dismissed and I plead guilty to VC 21710 coasting -- with only a fine of $725 and no probation. My career was saved and I could not thank Brian and Daniel enough for it. There is no surprise why Brian ranks 10 out of 10 on Avvo with 22 client reviews; he does very well to keep up to those ranking.
