Best Trial lawyer you will find

I am a repeat customer of Mr. Earle. Mr. Earle got me a Not Guilty verdict on all 8 of my drug sales counts 2 years ago. I was arrested again and charged in Federal Court. My co-defendant had a lawyer that blamed everything on me. Not only did Mr. Earle have to fight the U.S. Attorney, but he had... to fight my co-defendants attorney. His closing argument was awsome. Othe lawyers from the courthouse came to watch him, he really is that good. I can tell you he did not disappoint! The jury hung on my case 6 to 6. The U.S. Attorney dropped the case against me. I know he did not want to face Mr. Earle again. I would love to come watch him again, as long as I am not the client. He is an AWSOME trial lawyer and a good guy.

Best Trial Lawyer I have seen

Mr. Earle represented me in my case. I was charged with Assualt with a Deadly weapon and making a criminal threat. My case went to trial and I was blown away at his courtroom skills. His closing argument was awsome. He had the jury members on the edge of their seats. I can imagine this is hard t...o do in criminal law, but he did it. I was found Not Guilty on all of the charges. I cant thank Mr. Earle enough!

THE BEST TRIAL & CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY!!!

This week has been one of my happiest weeks in a long time and yet, one of my most stressful years in my life. Exactly one year ago, my house was raided by the police and I was consequently charged with ‘possession with intent to sell’ of ecstasy. I thought I would end up in jail and have to l...ive with a felony on my record for the rest of my life. My dreams and plans for the future were shattered. I was referred to Michael Earle by a good friend of mine and was told he is a good attorney. One year later, I can honestly say, Michael Earle is an excellent attorney. When Michael took my case, he told me from the beginning that I had a good chance of beating the charges. The district attorney kept offering me deals to plead but Michael kept telling me that this was a winnable case and if I did not want to plead out the charges that we should go to trial. One year, two trials and two hung juries later, I beat the Felony charges against me, I have a clean record and I am a free woman thanks to God and Michael Earle. Michael is amazing in the courtroom. He is well prepared, natural, and in my eyes, born to be a trial attorney. Earle did not only represent me he defended me like a mother defends his only child! His arguments and attacks were stronger than ever and kept the jury on my side. I highly recommend this man to everyone. Michael Earle is the best criminal defense attorney!!!

NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS

I was charged with cocaine possession, transportation and sales. Due to my immigration status, I could not accept a deal. Mr. Earle was referred to me from another lawyer. He treated my family and I with respect and kindness. He met with us several times and took my case to trial. He was well pr...epared and counter-attacked the police officers testimony against me. His closing argument kept the entire courtroom on the edge of their seats. Watching him was like watching an episode of L.A. Law. He was amazing in his closing argument. I was found NOT GUILTY of all counts. I was offered a 4 year deal. Everyday I wake up in my own bed with my wife and 2 year old. I thank god and Mr. Earle for my freedom. He truly is the best and I recommend him to anyone. Every lawyer who wants to learn about trial law should go watch him. He is amazing.

Excellent Trial Lawyer

I was charged with 1st degree Murder. Mr. Earle kept myself and my family informed on every aspect of my case. My family considers him a family member for all he did for us. Mr. Earle was able to negotiate a deal with the District Attorneys office and I served less than 16 months in prision. My c...ellmate was in for drug sales and Mr. Earle obtained a Not Guilty verdict at trial. This was the main reason I hired him and I am so glad I did.
