Driving Violation

After getting myself into some legal troubles and risking losing my drivers license for a year, I went on a lengthy search for the right lawyer to represent me in court. Luckily I found Mr. Linschied after several recommendations from esteemed legal professionals and selecting him was absolutely the ...best possible decision I could have made for myself and my future. Mr. Linscheid was always open to hearing me out and was very honest with me throughout the entire process of my trial. On top of this, Mr. Linscheid is very good at communicating what is happening to ensure that you know where your case sits every step of the way, and the various possible outcomes given your situation. He worked very hard to grant me the best possible outcome, and he went above and beyond ultimately bringing forth an outcome that far exceeded my expectations. I can honestly say working with Mr. Linscheid resolved what seemed like an absolute nightmare to me and I would very highly recommend him to anyone searching for professional legal services under his scopes of work.

My Driving Incident

It was one of the worst moments in my life. I was driving home and I crashed my car into a parked car. I was scared, lost, confused but most of all worried. I was refered by a friend to a lawyer named Michael Linscheid, who turned out to be a saving grace. He helped me go through the court system... and provided me the reassurance that everything will be ok. He is the utmost professional and his knowledge of the court system is extremely extensive. After the court case had already happened, Michael followed up with me to ensure everything was on track to get my license back. I would not be where I am today if it weren't for Michael.

Great Lawyer!

I've worked with many lawyers in the past who have lied, been unresponsive, and not human at all, but Michael Linscheid is very personable and trustworthy. He dealt with my case and me in a professional and timely manner. Thank you, Michael, for bringing my belief in lawyers back.

Fish and Game Ticket

I consulted with Mr Linscheid regarding a DFG (department of fish and game) ticket. Yes, i got a ticket for a 6 inch fish that was misidentified and caught out of season. I received concise, informed advice helping me greatly with my options in this matter. I would highly recommend Mr Linscheid i...n matters of fish and game but would also conclude from my dealings with him that he is probably a great attorney in the other areas of law in which he chooses to practice.
