"Mike worked with my 20 year old son to help him through a legal situation. He was responsive, thoughtful, clear, real and placed no judgement. From our first phone consultation to the magistrate's hearing we knew exactly what to expect. While we hope to not need him ever again, I wouldn't hesitate to call him if needed or refer someone to him."
