Mike De Muniz is the person people call when the stakes are at their highest and the government is breathing down their neck. He has built a reputation as a steadfast ally, representing everyone from local neighbors to judges and public officials. It’s not just about his courtroom presence; it’s about his discretion and the way he handles the most sensitive situations. Mike has a real knack for getting serious charges—like manslaughter or sexual abuse—dropped before they ever see the inside of a courtroom. But if a trial is necessary, his track record with DUIIs and major felonies speaks for itself. Mike’s journey started at Notre Dame, where he graduated cum laude, followed by law school at Willamette. He spent his early years learning from the best trial lawyers in the state before opening his own doors in 2013. Now, as a partner at Sherlag | De Muniz LLP, he is dedicated to making sure every client has a powerful voice. He believes that no matter what the accusations are, every person deserves a defense that is as sophisticated as it is respectful. For Mike, it’s about more than just the law; it’s about protecting a person’s future during their most difficult moments.
