About Michael
Biography
Criminal Law sits at the heart of our Constitution. To protect our privacy, the Founders created laws to ensure that the government (law enforcement) cannot bug, harass, or stop us unless they have probable cause or at least reasonable suspicion to do so. Unfortunately, there are some in government who don’t abide by the rules. That’s where I come in.
The government serves a purpose. They protect us when in need, and help maintain the order of the society we create. But when they break the very rules they are meant to protect, someone needs to be there to enforce the rules against them. I work to ensure that my client’s rights have not been violated and that the innocent always go free.
I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people and be an advocate for change. Although we have the greatest judicial system in the world, it is clouded by archaic laws, biased personalities, and politics. Defense attorneys like myself are necessary to protect the presumed innocence of the arrested individual and work towards their innocence. Once a person is convicted of a crime, society labels them a criminal and their whole life changes.
We like labels; we label the aisles at the market, the gates we are departing from, and the prestige of a school. Following that philosophy, we label people who are arrested and/or convicted of a crime a “criminal." Society then turns around and says to the “criminal” pull yourself up by your boot straps and get a job, house, insurance, and make something of yourself.
But what happens if the label that’s placed upon you prevents you from achieving these goals. We create so many obstacles for people who get involved with the system that it becomes difficult and at times impossible to achieve. Until we find a better way, my office remains the courtroom.
