I have exclusively practiced CRIMINAL DEFENSE for 33 years. I began my career as a Deputy Public Defender supervising a DUI court and working in the Major Crimes Unit.
During the years that I worked as an Attorney for the County in the Sacramento and Los Angeles area, I represented adults and juveniles charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses such as theft, domestic violence, assault, drugs, DUI, vehicular manslaughter and hit and run cases.
In 1997 I opened my own practice specializing in all matters of Criminal Defense. Over the years I also spent time contracting with firms working exclusively DUI's and related administrative proceedings.
My practice continues to focus on those adults and juveniles charged with Criminal or DUI offenses in court and at the DMV. My clients are guaranteed that I will personally handle all aspects of their case and will always have easy access and constant communication with me.
Represent and personally handle the cases of those charged with Criminal and DUI offenses which includes misdemeanors, felonies and DMV proceedings.

I had a really bad experience with Ms. Ferroni, which made my court case even scarier. It felt like she didn't spend any time looking at my case and only replied to my text messages a few hours before we had to go to court. I'm not a lawyer and don't know much about the law, but I think I could have ...

I'm so blessed I met Michele after I got arrested for my first DUI. I met with several lawyer prior to Michele Ferroni and they all seemed rushed and only concerned about the money. After meeting with Michele I knew she was a rare attorney who really cares about her clients. I was able to reach her ...

So for starters, She mad huge promises that no lawyer should ever make. Then on the first day of her representing me she got upset at the judge because the judge was calling other cases before hers and so she just walked out and left my co-defendant's representation to represent me as well. Then the ...
This could not be further from the truth. It is inaccurate and completely contradicts the court record. I have appeared in this courthouse and in front of this particular judge for many years. I have an excellent rapport with the judge and prosecutors in this court. I am professional, well liked and respected. The court has never been displeased with my conduct nor me with theirs. Communications by my client were made with the prosecutor and the judge that are prohibited when a client is represented by counsel. I would have liked to continue my representation and discussions with my client however the court followed proper protocol in making inquiries about the client’s desire to represent herself which would allow her to speak freely and directly to the prosecutor. The motion was granted and my client was able to proceed representing herself. With that I could no longer ethically speak with the prosecutor about the case and was required to turn over all discovery. I remain accessible and my door is always open for any further discussions on the matter.

Michele helped me through my first bit of legal troubles, and I couldn't ask for a better person to help me through one of the toughest times in my life. I had no idea what to expect, and I was pretty nervous and afraid of going through it before I talked to her. She made sure to walk me through ever...

Ms. Ferroni represented me for a DUI case 6 years ago. The DUI was a result of poor judgment on my part and luckily no one was hurt. Scared and overwhemled by the procees, I contacted the firm Michelle worked for and she was assigned my case. What a complete rip-off. I could have done the job myself....
I am very saddened and surprised, especially after 6 years have passed, to hear of your dissatisfaction with my services. I take great pride in my work as evidenced by the positive feedback from my clients and colleagues. If my representation was through a relationship with a firm, it is common practice to access me, the attorney, by way of the firm. It is truly unfortunate that even though you had my personal cell number as you stated, which attorneys rarely give out, that you did not contact me to express your feelings.
