Professionalism of Brian Russell Michaels

Brian Russell Michaels helped me solve my criminal case professionally and smoothly. He did an excellent job in doing so, getting the case off of my record and I only had to pay a fee. He also helped my friend which was involved in a similar case, he too was very happy. Brian is a person who is train...ed and experienced in his field, he is a hard working dedicated attorney. He, unlike other attorneys responded to my calls and kept me informed. I only had to be in court only once and he mostly did all the job. This shows that he is trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable. I recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable and helpful attorney like Brian.

vacated two criminal felonies after 17 years because my husband was having immigration consequences due to these.

We interviewed 5 different lawyers that were highly recommended. My husband had two charges one was Fraud and the other was possession of cocaine. Both got dismissed and vacated. All the other attorneys we interviewed gave us zero chance of vacating these cases. We needed to vacate them under immigr...ation penal codes because if not my husband was going to get deported back to his country. We had already tried vacating it once and the judge said she couldn't because it was out of her jurisdiction. Mr. Michaels researched the scenario, found a different way to approach the judge and got our case dismissed. He then was retained again to vacate our second case and he did as well. We would recommend Mr. Michaels to anyone. He really goes the extra mile in structuring a case that will benefit us. He fought for my family and thanks to him our family is living a normal life again. My husband was released immediately from federal immigration detention and we were able to celebrate christmas and New Years all together. We are beyond satisfied. If not my husband would have been deported and our family would have been seperated. Our childrens christmas wish to santa came true. Thank you very much Mr. Michaels for keeping our family together. My husband is now applying to become an american citizen.

Great Results

Mr. Michaels represented me in a serious felony case. I was only 18 at the time and I didn't really know what to do and didn't have alot of money. My parents helped a little and he worked it out with them. Mr. Michaels worked on my case for about a year and got it dismissed. He did a real good job an...d now I am in college working to be a lawyer.
