      Great Lawyer!

      Posted by

      He did everything he said he’d do. Very professional and a very good lawyer. He does what’s best for you unlike some attorneys. Definitely recommend him.

      I endorse this lawyer. Opposed when he was a DA and worked together on a complicated white collar case. Knowledgeable and hard working

      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Michael is an excellent attorney that I have known in practice for many years. He is also very passionate and empathetic with his clients.

      Nicholas Capozzi, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 2, 2017
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I endorse this lawyer. I remember working with Mike on a big mortgage fraud case in Fresno. All of the top local lawyers represented someone in the case. When it came time to file motions to dismiss the charges it was Mike who took the lead. Every one of the attorneys just ended up using what Mike had written in arguing to get the case dismissed, which it was. That shows you what kind of lawyer Mike is and how much he is respected by the local defense bar.

      Alicia Hinton, Consumer protection Attorney on Sep 14, 2016
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Benjamin Tryk, Business Attorney on Feb 25, 2013
