Highly experienced professional!

I met with Mr. Michels on the worst day of my life! I was in a complete panic after a argument with my ex-wife, she threaten to call the police and accused me of some serious domestic violence allegations, and she did. When I met with John Michels, he helped me calm down and allowed me to explain i...n detail what happen, once he understood completely, he took the time to explain everything, exactly what could happen and how he and his law firm plan to protect me. I felt confident that I was in the right place with the right attorney. I was contacted by the detective and gave his information to John, he went to work, it was over an above for me, they kept me informed throughout the pre-trail matters. John was effective at reaching out to the district attorney’s office and discussing this matter on several occasions, after several months, they decided to drop the matter and not file charges. Absolutely fantastic attorney! If you find yourself facing a criminal case, you should contact John Michels law firm immediately! He really care about his clients and will sincerely protect you! Thank you John and your team of professional! I truly appreciate you!
