Michael is a former prosecutor who has come to learn that the noble ideals of the criminal justice system are striven for more often than they are achieved.
He focuses his practice exclusively on criminal law so that he can help those accused of a crime — often ordinary, everyday people — ensure that their rights are honored and that they receive a fair opportunity to be heard. His practice areas include:
Michael served as a deputy district attorney at the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office where he gained experience in jury trials, bench trials in juvenile court, arguing motions in criminal cases, and negotiating plea agreements. Before that, he completed the Volunteer Prosecutor Attorney Program at the Long Beach City Prosecutor’s Office.
Michael received his Law Degree from Whittier Law School where he excelled in interscholastic trial advocacy competitions and served as President of the School’s Trial Advocacy Honors Board. During law school, Michael also worked as a law clerk for the District Attorney’s Offices of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties.
Michael understands that when you're facing a criminal charge, what matters most is the outcome of your case — not the time it took your attorney to reach that result. If you work with Michael, you won't be billed by the hour. Michael believes that a flat, reasonable fee allows for open communication and grants you peace of mind. Additionally, any unearned portion of the fee will be returned to you.

Restraining order
Attorney Michael helped me with my case for getting a restraining order. He was extremely knowledgeable of the law and informative with the options and had great insight on what to expect from the opposing party (my husband) and how to best be prepared given all the facts.
