Posted by anonymous | February 29, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Mike is worth every cent!

In short. My court appointed lawyer wanted me to make a deal for 3.5yrs + 5 probation. I decided to ask for a second opinion. Mr Messina made me feel at ease and was confident he could do better. He portrayed my case to the judge in a way, that in the end I got 6 months house arrest and 5yrs prob...ation. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
