The Law Offices of John L. Michels

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Attorney John Michales. This was my first run-in with the law, and I was overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of what to expect. I am so glad I made the decision to hire John -- he guided me through every step with clarity, reassurance, and genuine care. From the beginning, he was incredibly helpful, patient, and diligent. He never took the easy way out or pushed me into a quick plea. Instead, he fought hard for me at every stage to achieve the best possible outcome. The mitigation steps he advised me to take were essential in building a strong, thorough package that ultimately played a major role in getting my charge reduced. I also want to acknowledge his staff, especially Daniel, the paralegal. Daniel was incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Their teamwork made a stressful situation feel manageable, and I always felt like I had a dedicated team behind me. My case was complicated and took longer than expected, but John's fees remained fair and transparent the entire time. He never tried to increase the cost or take advantage of the situation -- something I deeply respect and appreciate. Because of John's advocacy, strategy, and the work we did together, my original felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, and I received only the statutory minimum probation. The outcome was far better than I ever expected, and it would not have been possible without John and his team. If you need an attorney who truly cares about his clients, knows the law, and will fight for you with integrity, I highly recommend John Michales. He made a real difference in my life. -Teddy

Communication was great, I never felt alone throughout my process, all of my questions were answered. I know that my decision to hire Mr. Michels was hands down the best and most important decision I have made.

I can't thank John Michaels enough for what he did for me. When I first hired him, I was facing a serious felony charge that could've changed my life forever. From the very beginning, he was honest, professional, and incredibly dedicated. He took the time to explain every step of the process, kept me updated, and fought hard for the best possible outcome. His confidence in the courtroom and attention to detail made all the difference, he spotted things in my case that other attorneys would have completely missed. Because of his hard work, my felony was reduced to a misdemeanor, and I was able to move forward with my life. I truly felt like they cared about me as a person, not just another case file. If you're ever in a tough legal situation and want someone who will fight for you and deliver real results, I highly recommend John L. Michels. He gave me a second chance at life.

I have to start by saying thank you to John Michels and his assistant Daniel for helping me in what has been the hardest part of my life. I was looking at serious time, a felony gun charge & other charges. His professionalism has to be noted he knows what he's doing and doesn't play games. Thank you guys for not just taking my case but working as hard as you did. I wouldn't ever go to anyone else. If you're looking for a good lawyer this is the person! I feel like I've been blessed with meeting such a good lawyer and team that works with him. Thank you guys again! I wish you all the best!

This is the second time I've hired John Michael to represent me in a defense case -- and once again, he went above and beyond. I was wrongly arrested despite having no prior record. John meticulously reviewed the police report, examined the body-cam footage, and filed a motion for dismissal. The prosecution offered a drug-class diversion, but I refused because I was truly just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having John on my side gave me enormous peace of mind -- I knew if anyone could get this dismissed, it was him. Thank you to John and his entire staff for your professionalism, dedication, and outstanding representation. If your in need of representation from an experienced lawyer who works for you the he is your man.
