My rights were protected!

I hired Michael for several matters and encouraged a family member to do so as well. He did a fine job, I was very satisfied, and I recommend him to others.

Felony down to Misdemeanor

I was charged with a felony under unusual circumstances that threatened my job.  Michael Wardell was my attorney.  He made a motion to challenge the probable cause for the charge which he explained was unusual but worth a try under the circumstances.  Then, while the motion was pending a hearing, he ...was able to negotiate a plea deal that I accepted.  It was to a reduced misdemeanor charge, it left my job intact, and it ended with the case being dismissed.  I am very satisfied with this result and I recommend Mr. Wardell to others.

Defense attorney

I cannot say enough good things about Michael Wordell. I had him for a case and he fought very hard for me. He was very knowledgeable and informed in the practice of law. The case went to the jury and I was found not guilty of all charges. I would highly recommend him for representation on all lega...l matters.

GREAT ATTORNEY

Mr Wardell Was worth hiring for my divorcee saved me a lot of money and later hired when the state came after me for back support after years of the mother of my child knowing who the father was and not letting me see the child. Mr Wardell Won the case and the mother was denied and arrears

Micheal is a very caring and compassionate Attorney. He is extremely passionate about his practice and has your best interests in mind. Micheal has represented me in several criminal cases that were charged unjust. Micheal truly cared about me and my practice. With Micheal he has been able to get a ‘...Charge Dissmissed’ for me every time. It is because he is an Attorney for the people, not for the Elite. I would recommend Micheal Wardell to any of my friends of which I have and he has defended my own family members as well. He was dear to my Mother as he was able to help her with a serious management issue concerning rodents that were not being controlled in her Apt complex as well. So if you call Micheal you are getting the Best representation in your case you will not find in many other law practices. With great respect to Micheal Wardell it truly was a pleasure to write this minimal review. John
