I've been watching Mike Coffino in courtrooms for more than a decade. He is universally regarded as one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the Bay Area. He smarter than almost all of the prosecutors, fights for his clients with true dedication, and is masterful at articulating his case in a way that is highly persuasive to judges and juries. In criminal law, all you need is a good lawyer and a good case, and if you don't necessarily have a good case, then you need an even better lawyer, like Mike Coffino.

I enthusiastically endorse Michael Coffino as a criminal defense attorney. He is imaginative, forceful, and articulate in his approach in criminal matters. While I have not had the opportunity to see his work in civil cases, I imagine that he is as contemplative, focused, and effective in a wide variety of legal matters. Michael is undaunted by challenging tasks and remains steadfast in representing all of his clients despite the odds. I have seen him litigate motions and trials, and he is fearless and always well-prepared in court. One of his most unforgettable feats was winning a murder case on a self-defense theory and was absolutely brilliant in victory. His skills as both a negotiator and litigator are superlative. He communicates complex ideas in accessible terms that anyone can understand. Michael is an extremely effective advocate, and I would not only recommend him to other, but would hire him to defend me were I ever to find myself in harm's way with the law.

Mike Coffino is a superb attorney. His intelligence and preparation are unmatched in criminal defense. Given his many years of experience as a public defender he has handled every kind of case, including the most serious, with great competence, care, and results. As a DA, I had the misfortune of being opposed to him in cases. He never missed an issue or an opportunity to achieve be best outcome for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone facing a serious criminal case.
