    The most important time to contact an attorney is immediately after you learn you may be suspected in a crime. I jealously defend my client's rights to due process. The entirety of the burden of proof in such cases is on the prosecution. I demand full disclosure of all evidence and insist on dismissal or reduction of charges where appropriate. I represent clients prior to arrest all the way through trial.

Excellent Council, Caring & Fantastic in court!
I was referred to Michael Troy by another wonderful Lawyer from Los Angeles. Michael was very honest, insightful, helpful and professional when we had our initial consultation. I decided to hire him and I am so grateful for his excellent skills and knowledge of the law as well as rapport with the courts. My Felony case was dismissed! I had tears in my eyes, and highly recommend this outstanding attorney * who will do his best to help you!

The go-to guy for all your legal needs
Our family has utilized Michael Troy for many different legal issues over the past several years. Hes advised us on minor issues such as landlord/tenant problems, as well as more serious criminal issues. All situations have been resolved in our favor and we are highly confident in his abilities. Mr. Troy is passionate and knowledgeable about the rights of the individual when it concerns prosecutor or police misconduct and his passion for protecting his clients comes across as strong and determined in a courtroom setting.

Impeccable, Responsive, and Courteous
Michael was able to save me thousands of dollars in my automotive dispute. His services were impeccable as he was very thorough. Highly intelligent and willing to stand up for the right side. I still cannot believe what he was able to do for me. And it's not only what he did, it's how he did it. I'll continue to use Michael where his services are needed.

Excellent Arbitration Lawyer
Michael is a straightforward, honest lawyer(yeah, really!) that will let you know what to expect and if your case is worth taking to court. He helped us settle two cases in an efficient, cost effective way. I would definitely use him for any future needs.

Trustworthy and Responsible
Michael was extremely dilligent and hard working on a difficult dental malpractice case that he handled for me. I knew this was a new area for Michael but he consulted with other knowledgeable attorneys and quickly got up to speed on the subject matter. He kept me informed every step of the way and achieved a solid result for me. I would recommend him to other clients to handle similar matters. He also handled a small criminal matter for a friend of mine and he did a terrific job and I would highly recommend him for criminal matters.

"I strongly endorse Michael Troy for his work in both criminal defense and personal injury. Michael is a savvy strategist with a world-class legal mind. He knows how to execute and deliver results. That would be more than enough to recommend him, but what truly sets Michael apart is his understanding of the larger policy issues that drive the legal system. This understanding is invaluable to clients. He does not suffer fools and does not back down from a fight. His clients could not be in more capable hands."

"Michael is a fantastic lawyer. He's tough as nails, and he knows the law. Most importantly, he knows the law of the land, and he knows it cold: the United States Constitution. Michael would rather turn in his bar card than roll over and allow his client's constitutional rights to be trampled. He's a rare, and (sadly) dying, breed: an independent thinker who speaks his mind and who expects judges and prosecutors to follow the law, no matter the peril to himself. I endorse Michael without reservation."
