Michael Shultz Is OUTSTANDING

Michael helped me out of a tough spot with ease, calmness and total professionalism. he knows everyone inside the court and navigated me to a dismissed case. I could not be happier. I HIGHLY recommend him to any and all!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Made my horrible situation less stressful and the outcome way better than I imagined.

Michael Schultz was my first (and last!) DUI attorney and I couldn't of asked for a better outcome from my very sensitive situation I was in. Not only did he make the outcome better than I thought, he was extremely helpful during the whole process and answered all my questions with extreme detail to... help guide me through a process that was all new and foreign to me. Even a year after my case was settled he still answered my middle of the night panic questions that ran through my head. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone if they are unfortunate enough to get a DUI or similar situation.

DUI

Mr. Shultz was affordable and diligent with my DUI case. He kept me informed and kept in close contact with any incoming news or turn of events. We also hired him for my husband's legal issues as well. Highly recommended.

Michael Shultz goes above and beyond any attorney I have ever encountered. Calm, thoughtful, experienced, I can't imagine going into a legal battle without Michael on my side. I recommend him 1000%!

Helpful and Considerate

Mr. Shultz was able to explain to me in a clear and concise manner what my options were for my case. He was also very quick to respond to any questions and concerns I have via email. His thorough knowledge of the law resulted in a successful case outcome. I would highly recommend his services.

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.
