Above and beyond
I was leaving an event in NH after a long week and was pulled over for an out tail light and subsequently was arrested DUI. I contacted Mike the next day to set up an appointment(after finding him on this website). He sat with me for at least an hour and after the hour long consultation I knew he was the best. He explained to me the reciprocity between states and what to expect in each state (ma resident, charge in NH). Mike and his team were quick to answer all of myquestions, explain what was happening and were very supportive. I felt as though I had a team that truly understood, that as this was my first offense of any kind..not even a speeding ticket…I was terrified and that they cared. I blew a .12 at the barracks, and even though the breathalyzer was not thrown out Mike still put on an amazing defense with one of the toughest judges. Not guilty. I would give Mike the highest reccommendation. Him and his team are supportive, caring, intelligent,communicative, and clearly know what they are doing. They made the complexities of the legal system easy to understand and less scary.
