In early 2016, I was involved in a Motor Vehicle offense which, could have resulted in thousands of dollars in fines and serious penalties.
One things I've learned about this type offense since then is that representation is a nightmare. Each attorney I consulted with was literally all over the place with possible outcomes. Most seemed focused on how their personal connections would mean a "better" situation for me, but there was little focus on what the most likely outcome the situation would take. Everything felt like a sales call and, as is often the case, I had very little time to make a decision.
I was guided to Michael by a trusted friend. I live a little outside of the area I believe he most typically works in, but this ended up being an asset to me and there were zero issues with transition or anything like that.
I'm so glad for this recommendation. The second we talked, I found his approach the most rational and fair, by far. Once we agreed on moving forward, he carefully looked at the discovery and thoroughly reviewed this information with me. This proccess uncovered some information that eventually favored me on the court date, but it took a lot of time to get there.
I have to say that Michael is an excellent attorney, but most especially when you feel that the charge/situation is unfair or there are somehow things that don't add up on the other side. He zeroed in on these with laser acumen.
My court date was particularly chaotic, and thankfully Michael was not shy about laying out rational outcomes on the spot. For example, he framed some next steps as having an 80 percent likelihood of success .... this type of talk. I can't begin to really even explain it now, but this was truly a great resource on the spot.
I also was attracted to Michael for the amazing work he does in the community and in political circles. There's been so much in the news lately about bigotry in the legal system, and it's wonderful to see the causes he dedicates time to. Certainly not a requirement, but admirable nonetheless.
Overall, this could have been one of the most awful situations imaginable, but Michael's guidance really helped pull me through. Absolutely recommend. read more
