Decades in Stillwater. Straight talk. A neighbor who cares.

Criminal Defense

A charge is an accusation. The state still has to prove it. Most people plead before anyone tests whether it can.

Probation Violations and Warrants

A warrant doesn't expire. It waits. Better to walk in on your own terms than get picked up on a traffic stop.

MORE THAN AN ATTORNEY

He lives where he practices.

Michael has spent decades practicing law in Stillwater. Outside the courtroom he volunteers with the Cimarron Valley Humane Society and served on the Board of Directors at Wings of Hope. He’s coached youth sports here for years. Some of those kids are grown now. A few have called him.

None of that wins a case. It does mean he has to answer for his work at the grocery store, which is a kind of accountability most firms don’t have.

Waiting doesn’t improve your position.

Evidence goes stale. Deadlines pass. The state keeps working whether you’ve called anyone or not. A consultation costs you nothing and an hour.
