Mike E. Saint-Pre is the BEST by far.

Mike represented me in a false arrest matter that got dismissed and we followed up with a civil suit against the arresting officer, who was in collusion with several other defendants, which made this case more complex than a typical false arrest case. I have spent the majority of my adult life both w...orking for lawyers and hiring lawyers to represent me in mostly family matters. Out of the hundreds of lawyers I had dealt with in any capacity, Mike is by far the most dedicated, caring, experienced, smart, and trustworthy lawyer I have ever met. You will not go wrong hiring him. You can count on it.

Compassionate and delivers resolts

Hire Criminal Defense Attorney Mike Saint-Pre! The charges I was facing were Fraud, Filing a False a Instrument and Grand Larceny. I felt like my whole life was over. My freedom and career with the bank I worked for the past 8 years were in jeopardy. Thank God I had Mike in my corner to fight for me... every step of the way. Mike was able to refute every allegation in my case through his due diligence and his thorough investigation. In the end, all of my charges were dismissed. If you are looking for an attorney who will deliver results, who is compassionate and knows the Law, you should definitely hire Mike Saint-Pre!!!

Superb Attorney!

Working with Mike has been an welcoming experience. Mike was very sympathetic towards my situation and provided me with a wealth of knowledge on what my rights are as father. In dealing with Mike and watching him in action inside of the court room, I have the utmost confidence that I have chosen the... right attorney to represent me. I definitely recommend Mike!

Excellent Attorney

I asked Mike to represent me over a year ago in a criminal case. From day one, Mike was interested in my story, not only the details of the case. He wanted to put the best case forward. After the first few meetings I felt comfortable and knew everything was going to work out for the best. Mike wa...s patient and professional and upfront regarding possible outcomes. He constantly kept the lines of communication open and guided me through the process step by step, making me aware of all potential outcomes. In the end, we were successful. Mike made the case for substantially reduced charges. If you need an attorney with heart and resolve of steel, Mike Stain-Pre is your man!

AWESOME ATTORNEY!!!

Mike Saint-Pre handled my divorce matter and did a wonderful job. He fought vigorously for me and even ended up getting the Judge to order my ex-husband to pay for my legal fees. I was so lucky to have Mike in my corner. Awesome Attorney!

"Mikey is one of those lawyers, that possesses immense compassion and understanding for his clients, and has arsenal of skills. He is one of the rare lawyers that can make a successful transition from a Prosecutor to a Criminal Defense Lawyer. He is so successful at it, because he was born to be a Criminal Defense Lawyer!!!! As a prosecutor Mikey was top notch, climbing the ranks, and gaining immense insight about the "other side". He has taken the tools learned as a prosecutor and put them to work for his clients, citizens of our communities, who need some of the best lawyering money can buy. I call Mikey, the New Johnnie Cochran! Watch out Prosecutors!!! Mikey knows where you are coming from, and he is better than good!"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
