Michael Paul De Muniz

In 2022, Michael P. De Muniz took on a case that would ultimately determine the direction of my life—not just for me, but for my wife and our three daughters. What followed was one of the most terrifying and overwhelming chapters of my life. I was facing the uncertainty of the criminal justice sys...tem, the possibility of losing my career, selling my home, relocating, and making life-altering decisions that would affect my entire family. The weight of it all was indescribable. There were moments when I wanted to give up, and I felt like the odds were stacked against me. I’ll put it as simply as I can: Michael P. De Muniz gave me my life back. There is no price tag that can be placed on that. At the time, the financial commitment of hiring an attorney was something I struggled with. Looking back today, it was without question the best investment I have ever made in myself and my family’s future. Michael didn’t just represent me in court. He took on a case with enormous consequences and helped me navigate the most difficult fight of my life. His work gave me something I feared I might never have again: the opportunity to move forward, rebuild, and live a happy life with my family. I stand behind this recommendation 100%. Michael can personally share my story, from beginning to end, with any prospective client. Once you understand where I started, what was at stake, and where I am today, you’ll understand why I speak so highly of him. Oregon has many criminal defense attorneys, but my experience with Michael P. De Muniz is one I will never forget. When your freedom, your family, and your future are on the line, choosing the right attorney matters more than you can imagine. I get to wake up every day and live the life I have today because I made the decision to hire Michael P. De Muniz in 2022. I will be forever grateful. No review, no amount of money, and no words will ever fully repay what he helped give back to me and my family.

Mike was the best lawyer I could have had for representation during my case. He made the entire process much easier for me to understand and navigate by explaining everything to me thoroughly, as it was my first encounter with the court system after my arrest. He was very communicative and even help...ed me to report the incident to the credentialing bodies for my profession that have allowed me to keep working now. Mike made things that would have been very intimidating to do alone very easy, and ultimately helped me get the best outcome possible for my case.

Mike did an excellent job representing me in court and helping me navigate a tough situation. He was knowledgeable about my options and, most importantly, the case was resolved in the best possible way for me. He kept me informed at every step, returned my messages promptly, and answered every questi...on in detail. His fees were fully transparent, he provided an itemized summary of what I was paying for. Throughout a stressful process, he was reassuring and helped me feel at ease.

I had been referred to Michael to handle a re-trial after having a 20 yr old case overturned. One of the things that I appreciated the most is his honesty. After dealing with the legal system for so many years I was dubious of everything and everyone involved. From the start he explained things with...out sugar coating or giving false hope. With this straightforward, professional approach also comes a personable individual. He listens. Something rare in the legal realm. He would listen to what I said and actually ask questions to understand my thoughts better. Then he would weigh how that would help or hinder my case and explain why. Michael always kept me in the loop, even if it meant reaching out beyond office hours. Again something rare. Ultimately my case was dismissed. Honestly, I feel if it hadn't been for Michael and all his hard work this would not have been possible. I can not express enough how grateful I am to Michael. He literally gave me my life back. Something I felt would never happen.
