Michael Ralph Bruggeman

Mr. Bruggeman knows the ins and outs of criminal law. He has given me advice that is amazing in terms of how the system works, and how best to handle difficult issues. He seems to know the judges and prosecutors very well, and uses that knowledge, and his reputation, to his client's advantage. I c...annot say enough of about this lawyer--he really cares, and I found his fees to be very reasonable given the level of representation his clients receive.

I hired Mike to represent my daughter who had two cases simultaneously in two different counties. Each case was handled discretely and with great finesse and professionalism. As a result, neither court or prosecutor was aware of the other offense. The penalties would have been much greater othe...rwise. I was very pleased with his work and my daughter came out of everything just fine and is on the right track thanks to Mike's efforts. I have since referred a good friend to Mike . Thanks Mike.

Bruggeman's only concern while representing me seemed only to be the money that he would receive from my dealing with him. He demanded half of his legal fee up front, and then after only two weeks told me to pay the other half, which I followed through with, if anything because of his exhausting, inc...essant nature. He had no problem repeatedly calling me about his fee, but when I tried calling him to inquire about certain aspects of the case he was never available. He was absolutely unprofessional in that respect, as he would always claim to be on vacation or busy otherwise. Finally, after a year of inactivity, and just general unresponsiveness from his side, he called me up telling me to come to court, without any prior notice, to sign for a plea deal. The charge I was facing was a misdemeanor, and I had no prior record, and still he was unable to help me. I got a substantial amount of hours community service as a result of my charge, and an ugly record that has since made obtaining employment difficult. He is absolutely apathetic in his practice, and will do nothing for your defense. He will just collect your money, and sit on his posterior, making excuses for every bit of negligence that he is responsible for.

Michael was exceptional with me and my case! He was very attentive and I feel like he really did care about the outcome, not just for his own benefit, but for mine as well! Michael was not only EXTREMELY knowledgeable, he earned my trust!!! (I feel like these days it is so hard to find someone you ca...n trust your future with, he really proved me wrong!) I would most certainly recommend him, he not only cares, but, he truly knows what he is doing!!!
