Verified ClientHired Attorney 2021-2022I am financial services attorney from Washington, DC. A family member of mine had recently contacted me regarding a criminal matter that had been outstanding for eight years. I found Michael based upon his strong reviews, as well as his experience as a former prosecutor. I am so happy that I contacted him. His calm and pleasant demeanor were a refreshing surprise. He handled my family member's case expertly. His cost estimates were highly accurate. He responded to every phone call and email the same day, often within minutes. He kept us apprised of all developments and concerns. He is a highly effective attorney and an excellent communicator. As an attorney myself, I recommend him without any reservation or qualification.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
