Client Testimonials

My husband was put in an unexpected extremely difficult position when encountered with authorities. He had never been arrested and was charged with assault and battery of an officer, and resisting arrest. It was a very emotionally disturbing situation. With no experience of this kind we had no where to turn for help, Thankfully I received a recommendation for a lawyer from a co-worker. During the whole process Mike was very considerate, informed and confident. Mike succeeded in clearing my husband of all charges as well as representing him further in negotiating an award. I really appreciate all his efforts in helping us.
