"Recognition of a sincere Attorney, Micheal Kay"
"I was blessed to have the opportunity to have Mr. Micheal Kay as my attorney a few years ago. I was facing serious time for the accusations against me, however, Mr. Kay represented me with character, boldness, grace & equality. (The verdict in one word: "DISMISSED") Without question he's truly dedicated, well organized, full of wisdom & he is genuine! I would be happy, yet honoured to continue to work with him & recommend Micheal Kay. I've mentioned this to Mr. Kay & I will to anyone.. he's a great Attorney, & I would love to recommend him".

OUTSTANDING Lawyer Representation
In my personal experience working with Atty Michael Kay, I found him to truly possess various qualities that I value most in a lawyer representing me in a criminal matter. He does not treat his client(s) as a number, but as an individual. He is patient, polite, thorough, kind, very knowledgeable, AWESOME listener, honest, trustworthy, kept me well-informed, EXTREMELY comfortable to both work with and verbally converse, open-minded, nonjudgmental and perseveres to the end. Words cannot describe what an OUTSTANDING job Atty Michael Kay did representing me in my criminal case. I wholeheartedly recommend Atty Michael Kay to any individual who is in need of a lawyer who truly cares about his client(s) and will take the time to do ALL that can possibly be done and will fight throughout the entire duration of needing representation.
