I met Mr. Fannon a very long time ago. I think i may have been one of his first few clients he litigated in open court for. Not only was he a top notch attorney but i found out he is an excellent person also. Thank you for all your time and help Jeff Brewster

Excellent Attorney!

I have thankfully never needed an attorney but I just finished a 3 month long case with Michael and couldn't be happier! I talked to a dozen lawyers over the phone and chose Michael and am so happy I did; he was extremely professional, accessible and knew what he was doing. My case involved potenti...ally harming my career and he worked hard and got a not guilty verdict, what more can I say?!

"Michael Fannon is, quite simply, a gift to the Shasta County criminal-defense bar. Even a brief discussion with Michael will show you that he has the expertise in criminal law that can only come from many years of experience with hard-fought cases and a passion for the topic that drives him to keep learning more. He incorporates technology into his practice of law to keep his clients' costs down. He is honest with his clients, helping them to make good decisions as they balance the merits of their cases, their likelihood of winning at trial, and the financial/personal costs of going to trial. He works well with other attorneys, court staff, and prosecutors to ensure that his clients receive the best treatment possible. He takes his clients' cases seriously, really digging into the facts and the law to provide the best defense possible. He prepares well for his court appearances while also maintaining the very important ability of thinking on his feet."

"Experience counts. I have seen his results on a number of occasions in court. As a former public defender he handled thousands of cases. As a private criminal defense attorney he has handled thousands more. If you are in the area and need help do yourself a favor and call him for a consultation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
