Great representation

Mr. Griffith represented me in an assault and obstruction case. He made me feel comfortable and listened to when I went in for my consultation, and his staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. I never felt like "just another client" and really just had peace of mind I had during our case knowing that he was in my corner. Ultimately the charges were dropped outside of court, and Mr. Griffith personally called me to deliver the good news. I very highly recommend Michael J. Griffith to anyone seeking knowledgeable and aggressive legal representation.

If you need real help, can handle hearing the truth and need nothing short of a miracle, CALL MICHAEL J GRIFFITH NOW.

This man works miracles. If you're looking for an honest, straight forward, professional attorney who does what he says, doesn't sugar coat the truth, calls you back personally and makes you genuinely feel like you're in the right hands; you need to spend the money to retain Michael. Michael came to see me to discuss my case personally less than 48 hours after he was called. He told me the honest truth about my situation and my case and he was 100% accurate. He and Cheryl updated me on my case every time there was a change and only involved me when it was absolutely necessary. He LISTENED to what I had to say and actually cared. Michael told me at our first meeting that he would do everything he could to make sure that in a few years, I would look back at this as just a tough year and he did EXACTLY that. ***He took me from facing a MINIMUM of 25 YEARS in PRISON to NO JAIL TIME!*** If you want to save a few dollars and retain an attorney to tell you everything will be okay when they have no idea what will happen, then Michael isn't for you. If you need real help, can handle hearing the truth and need nothing short of a miracle, CALL MICHAEL J GRIFFITH NOW.

Persistent, available, experienced, and networked; very glad Mr. Griffith had my case.

We had an uphill battle we couldn't compromise on, and needed a lawyer with maximum experience, network, skill, persistence, and availability. We researched dozens of local criminal defense lawyers, choosing the most promising to talk with in person. Mr. Griffith was high on the list with an extremely high peer rating and awards, and when making a consult appointment with him on the phone, he said "I hope you hire me." In person, he was personable and polite, not arrogantly or foolishly optimistic nor cynically defeatist. He was confident about his knowledge and if he didn't know something he'd find out without faking it. I was scared and needy; calling or visiting with questions, requests, or to verify court dates and times(recommended), and always got help ASAP. My case was ugly; child porn. Not guilty, but the accusation destroys lives and defense usually gives up or loses. We didn't. Of dozens of lawyers we researched and the ten we saw, I'm very glad we chose Mr Griffith.

He lied to me every step of the way

He charged me $3500 to defend me in what turned out to be a bench warrant. He said, "Yes, there is a warrant out for your arrest," which scared me to death. He saw this and marketed on it. I'm a law abiding guy who was physically struck by a car, not my car, ME. This made me angry, so I hit the car's bumper with a hammer. I ended up being the one in trouble, not the person on their cell phone who hit my body with their car. Basically, and in afterthought, Micheal Griffith laughed at my innocence, took advantage of my trust and vulnerability and did NOTHING to help me in any regard, simply walking me through the process and lying to me and intimidating me every time I questioned him. I told him that I'm not a very good victim because I tend to take my hits and move on. He said, and this is a quote, "you are the perfect victim." (I'd already paid him $3500 in advance.) Three times he said to me, "I hate the legal profession." The third time was when he lied to me about the "deal" he made with the prosecutor regarding my misdemeanor "crime." "Just sign the papers and I'll take care of everything." If this is the type of "defense" you want, then, by all means, hire him and pay him up front. You, too, will get everything he has to offer.

Hiring Mr Griffith was the worst decision I have ever made in my life. He played upon my fear, would call me in for appointments and repeat things we had previously covered in other meetings. I felt as if he were running the clock.. Every meeting he would explain to me how much more Money he needed in order to represent me. The end result is I fired him, hired another attorney, who took excellent care of me, with positive results, and did not take advantage of me. Don't hire him !

The only choice

Mr. Griffith, Cheryl, and their entire team stood by me and fought for me during the two most difficult years of my life. He is compassionate and truly cares about his clients. His ability to pair his vast knowledge of the law with incredible intuition makes him a master of his craft. I will never be able to thank him enough for giving me my life back. If you find yourself in need of someone to fight for you and winning is the only option, Mr. Griffith is the one to call. Trust him, be patient, and don't get discouraged. It is difficult but he can and will make it happen.

The best in business!!!

In my time of dismay, I came to me Griffith hoping he would show the truth of my case. I did not however expect to be treated as if I was family and not just another case. Mr Griffith went above and beyond what Was expected by not only helping me in the courtroom but also helping me with advice on what got me into the situation. Making sure that every promise he made was kept, mr Griffith handled my case to the standard and outcome I desired. If your looking for more than just a lawyer then look no further than the best mr Michael j Griffith.

Outstanding Attorney

I have to use the services of Mr. Griffith on a few occasions and each time he was professional and honest and most of all he knew his stuff. Many times I herd and experienced myself that fact with his reputation alone he was able to keep some things from even going to court. I would recommend him over all others, he is the cream of the crop. He won't BS you or give false hope, he will tell what you need to hear and not what you want to hear.

Very strategic in planning and execution

Very strategic in planning and execution during criminal case. He and his team will listen and get back with on the important stuff. Will keep you up to speed on important milestones and developments. Understands he works for you, but you need to step back to allow him to execute the duties of being your lawyer. Stays on task regardless of setbacks, plans ahead on many different levels. Will not blow smoke up your butt, not afraid to take case to trail, will fight to the end and bring your loved ones home. Holds cards close to chest and doesn’t show his hand. (This means he doesn’t tell you everything in order avoid leaks of vital information) Yes, expensive…
