John Michels and his staff were just what we needed during one of the more stressful times of our lives. After meeting with John we were impressed with his credentials and years of experience so we placed our trust in him and it paid off in a big way. Felony charges were dismissed prior to our court date and we owe that to pre trial review performed by John. He advised us on steps to take and thanks to John and his staff we have a second chance on life and plan to make the most of it. We highly recommend John and his staff based on our experience and outcome.

I am still in shock of my outcome. I am incredibly, grateful for John Michels and his team. This year has been one of the roughest times of my life. This was my first time having criminal legal issues and I am so thankful that I found Mr. Michels. 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. His advice in handling my case gave me the best option that I could have wanted, given my situation. I am forever grateful

Courteous and professional. Worth every penny. I would refer John to friends and family, and I even got his number on speed dial 👍

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.

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.

Award winning defense attorney is a highly understated title when describing the talent, mind and abilities that Mr. John L Michels Esquire provides his clients when defending them in a court of law and he is hands down in my book which has quite a few pages of court appearances and many different defense attorneys both in California and the tri State areas. in my days and for the rest of my time on earth if I should ever need to retain another defense attorney I strictly and strongly advise anyone in need of a defense above all the rest look in one direction and one direction only and that is the law offices of Mr. John L Michal's. he is a very smart and methodical and an all knowing attorney that in whichever case is at hand will already know which route what things you should be doing to not only help yourself but help him help you get the best possible outcome. and by fallowing his orders whichever way he advises doing them and by not questioning but only fallowing what his many years of practice has taught him for my case which was a case where my wishes for the outcome were probably both outrageous and 10 times out of 10 would never happen but as I said by keeping my ears open mouth shut and doing everything he suggested not only made the outcome in a case where jail time was more likely than not a mandatory thing but instead I got my rights back that I was about to loose forever to me all without a day in jail and a very minor sentence of probation not only were my wishes answered but the confidence Mr. Michal's makes you feel while in court is like nothing I have gotten from any other attorney iv ever retained I strongly suggest anyone that is serious about getting their best possible most tangible within sight outcome go to only one place and that is and will always be for me THE LAW OFFICES OF JOHN L MICHAL'S riverside California
