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.

Highly Recommended

Upon losing my license at the DMV with a totally incompetent attorney, I hired Mr. Linscheid to request a Departmental Review at the DMV. Mr. Linscheid’s request was compelling and DMV granted me another hearing. I again hired Mr. Linscheid to represent me at the DMV hearing. Although I had a good ca...se, the DMV's hearing officer was extremely biased, and clearly had no intension of overturning her decision. Through two lengthy hearings, numerous legal documents, and phone conversations, Mr. Linscheid - with his perseverance, expertise, and attention to detail, was able to get my license reinstated. In addition to the DMV hearing, I had a violation of driving on a suspended license. Mr. Linsheid again successfully represented me and the charges were dropped by the District attorney. Based on his excellent performance and compassion for his clients, I would highly recommend E. Michael Linscheid. Peter

Outstanding Criminal Attorney Who Really Cares About Client

Barrister Michael was SO helpful in resolving a legal matter of mine. He was professional, affable, humble, and very patient (especially in answering a myriad of questions I had about my case). Michael is an attorney I would recommend to anyone without reservation. He is a credit to his profession.

Life Saver

From the moment I first talked with Michael on the phone I felt at ease. I looked around on the internet for a lawyer to help me with my probation violation case for days and talked with 17 different lawyers. My case was a nightmare and could have been way more of a mess if it was handled by anoth...er. Michael efforts helped keep me out of jail/prison for a long time. He also ensured my future was protected. He handled my case with grace. He is supportive, he listens, he answers his phone, he goes above and beyond what is required of him. Michael saved my life and I recommended him to another close friend in a similar situation...and he found the same results. His ability to communicate is the far superior to other lawyers I worked with before. Thank you Michael. It's hard to put in words how you helped me.
