About

Brian Michaels is the only attorney in Southern California to have worked as a front line Prosecutor, Police Litigator and full time private Criminal Defense Attorney. Attorney Michaels was hired directly out of law school, where he graduated with academic honors, to work for the Los Angeles City Attorney in the mid 1990s. As a young Prosecutor Michaels tried nearly 100 cases to verdict and settled nearly 1000 more cases. Michaels success as a trial attorney allowed him to work as a trial advocate trainer, in which he was assigned to teach trial skills to lawyers from large corporate firms in trial advocacy. After several years working as a front line trial lawyer attorney Michaels moved over to the LAPD's elite litigation unit during the height of the cities Rampart Scandal in which he won all of his jury trials. Michaels worked intimately with law enforcement during these years and valued his time working and learning from law enforcement. His years working as a Prosecutor and Police Litigation Attorney gave him invaluable training and experience, nearly unparalled amongst working defense attorneys. After nearly 8 years in government service Michaels retired to private practice in 2002. Since that time, Michaels has applied his considerable experience to the defense of individuals charged with crimes throughout the State of California where he has worked on thousands of criminal cases as well as domestic violence cases in the family courts. He has distinguished himself in private practice as one of the nations's top 100 trial lawyers with the highest rating on AVVO. Attorney Michaels belives that his experience working for the Government provides rare insights that can be brought to bear in the defense of his clients at the hands of over zealous prosecutors and police officers. Michaels is a hands-on attorney and values direct client communciation, absolute honesty and maintains a fair and reasonable fee schedule which includes payment plans for qualified clients. He values his availability, relatability, and compassion for his clients as his greatest strengths. He is committed from the first client phone call to the very best advocacy a client can receive.

I am an immigration attorney in Virginia and when my client, a struggling Somalian man with nothing left to his name, was in desperate need of correcting an unjust mistake from a criminal conviction he'd received in the 1990's Brian was our man. Because of Brian's success, my client was able to reopen all three of his removal orders and now qualifies for relief from removal. This man no longer carries the heavy weight of this felony charge he received as a juvenile immigrant, and is free to pursue asylum as relief from being removed from the U.S.

Brian was really professional as well as fun. I am so glad Brian represented me for the restraining order I filed against a stalker. I was really impressed with the initial consultation and how much info and advice he offered, so I hired him. Clearly a busy guy but was able to dedicate more time than I even expected to help with my case. This really helped put my mind at ease in a stressful situation. Highly recommend Brian!

Brian Michaels is a very intelligent person and you want him on your side. He has been practicing law for a long time so he knows most things well and he also knows when to get an expert involved. He works directly with detectives should you need additional resources and he will fight hard for you because he did for me. I highly recommend working with Brian.

I must have interviewed at least 20 attorneys before deciding to retain Mr. Michaels and his team. He was by far the quickest to respond, did not delegate vital communications to his underlings, was almost always available when we needed him. Most importantly he delivered what he promised and more. We found after interviewing so many attorneys that many just made promises that seemed unrealistic and unprofessional. Mr. Michaels was quite blunt and accurate as to what to expect and explained he rather would be conservative in the beginning and have us be pleasantly surprised. We hired him to make some criminal charges go away before they got to the DA. With his staff PI, he was able to uncover enough dirt against my accuser that the DA did in fact decide not to prosecute me. By being so proactive he and his firm saved us a ton of money and months of grief in our life. 5 stars.

Brian represented me in both my civil domestic violence restraining order case as well as the false criminal charges that were brought by my wife. As a former prosecutor Mr. Michaels knew how to unravel her accusations and was able to win the civil restraining order case and then use it to get the criminal charges dropped. Thrilled with the outcome and very happy with his work. Highly recommend!

I called Brian about an outstanding warrant stemming from a Misdemeanor charge I had from a couple years back. His fee was very reasonable compared to others I called, especially for someone with his level of experience. Within a couple days of speaking he had the warrant recalled and a new court date scheduled. About a month later he was able to get me a diversion so my record will stay clean. His communication was great and straight forward. I was always able to get a hold of him through phone, text or email whenever I had questions. I am very satisfied with my outcome and will absolutely use Brian again in the future if I ever need a lawyer and would recommend him to anyone in need of representation. Thanks Brian!

Brian Michaels is an experienced attorney that is kind, compassionate, and responsive. I was cautious and apprehensive in choosing an attorney and Brian was an excellent choice. He never left anything unanswered and spent valuable time meeting with me by telephone and in person. He thoroughly understands the law and local court system. I fully recommend Brian as an attorney you can trust to represent you.

Thank you so much for taking my case.They represented me a contentious restraining order battle with my ex husband which affected possibly the custody of my daugter. I am very grateful to Mr. Michaels and his staff for helping me, not charging me an arm and a leg and prevailing in my case. I can now sleep at night and now have custody of my daughter.

Attorney Brian Michaels did an amazing job for us. Our son was arrested for a very serious Burglary case. He was very fair with his fees and allowed us to make payments, which many other attorneys did not allow us to do. He had a serious drug problem, and instead of a lot of jail time, Mr. Michaels was able to convince the District Attorney to allow him to go to a drug program. We couldn't be more grateful. Instead of being a convicted felon, our son is now sober and successful, thanks to the hard work of Brian Michaels. 5 stars.

Mr. Michaels was quite blunt and accurate as to what to expect and explained he rather would be conservative in the beginning and have us be pleasantly surprised. We hired him to make some criminal charges go away before they got to the DA. With his staff PI, he was able to uncover enough dirt against my accuser that the DA did in fact decide not to prosecute me. By being so proactive he and his firm saved us a ton of money and months of grief in our life. 5 stars.

Brian represented me in both my civil domestic violence restraining order case as well as the false criminal charges that were brought by my wife. As a former prosecutor Mr. Michaels knew how to unravel her accusations and was able to win the civil restraining order case and then use it to get the criminal charges dropped. Thrilled with the outcome and very happy with his work. Highly recommend!

I called Brian about an outstanding warrant stemming from a Misdemeanor charge I had from a couple years back. His fee was very reasonable compared to others I called, especially for someone with his level of experience. Within a couple days of speaking he had the warrant recalled and a new court date scheduled. About a month later he was able to get me a diversion so my record will stay clean. His communication was great and straight forward. I was always able to get a hold of him through phone, text or email whenever I had questions. I am very satisfied with my outcome and will absolutely use Brian again in the future if I ever need a lawyer and would recommend him to anyone in need of representation. Thanks Brian!

Brian Michaels is an experienced attorney that is kind, compassionate, and responsive. I was cautious and apprehensive in choosing an attorney and Brian was an excellent choice. He never left anything unanswered and spent valuable time meeting with me by telephone and in person. He thoroughly understands the law and local court system. I fully recommend Brian as an attorney you can trust to represent you.

Thank you so much for taking my case.They represented me a contentious restraining order battle with my ex husband which affected possibly the custody of my daugter. I am very grateful to Mr. Michaels and his staff for helping me, not charging me an arm and a leg and prevailing in my case. I can now sleep at night and now have custody of my daughter.

Attorney Brian Michaels did an amazing job for us. Our son was arrested for a very serious Burglary case. He was very fair with his fees and allowed us to make payments, which many other attorneys did not allow us to do. He had a serious drug problem, and instead of a lot of jail time, Mr. Michaels was able to convince the District Attorney to allow him to go to a drug program. We couldn't be more grateful. Instead of being a convicted felon, our son is now sober and successful, thanks to the hard work of Brian Michaels. 5 stars.

I am an immigration attorney in Virginia and when my client, a struggling Somalian man with nothing left to his name, was in desperate need of correcting an unjust mistake from a criminal conviction he'd received in the 1990's Brian was our man. Because of Brian's success, my client was able to reopen all three of his removal orders and now qualifies for relief from removal. This man no longer carries the heavy weight of this felony charge he received as a juvenile immigrant, and is free to pursue asylum as relief from being removed from the U.S.

Brian was really professional as well as fun. I am so glad Brian represented me for the restraining order I filed against a stalker. I was really impressed with the initial consultation and how much info and advice he offered, so I hired him. Clearly a busy guy but was able to dedicate more time than I even expected to help with my case. This really helped put my mind at ease in a stressful situation. Highly recommend Brian!

Brian Michaels is a very intelligent person and you want him on your side. He has been practicing law for a long time so he knows most things well and he also knows when to get an expert involved. He works directly with detectives should you need additional resources and he will fight hard for you because he did for me. I highly recommend working with Brian.

Brian Michaels is a very intelligent person and you want him on your side. He has been practicing law for a long time so he knows most things well and he also knows when to get an expert involved. He works directly with detectives should you need additional resources and he will fight hard for you because he did for me. I highly recommend working with Brian.

I must have interviewed at least 20 attorneys before deciding to retain Mr. Michaels and his team. He was by far the quickest to respond, did not delegate vital communications to his underlings, was almost always available when we needed him. Most importantly he delivered what he promised and more. We found after interviewing so many attorneys that many just made promises that seemed unrealistic and unprofessional. Mr. Michaels was quite blunt and accurate as to what to expect and explained he rather would be conservative in the beginning and have us be pleasantly surprised. We hired him to make some criminal charges go away before they got to the DA. With his staff PI, he was able to uncover enough dirt against my accuser that the DA did in fact decide not to prosecute me. By being so proactive he and his firm saved us a ton of money and months of grief in our life. 5 stars.

Brian represented me in both my civil domestic violence restraining order case as well as the false criminal charges that were brought by my wife. As a former prosecutor Mr. Michaels knew how to unravel her accusations and was able to win the civil restraining order case and then use it to get the criminal charges dropped. Thrilled with the outcome and very happy with his work. Highly recommend!

I called Brian about an outstanding warrant stemming from a Misdemeanor charge I had from a couple years back. His fee was very reasonable compared to others I called, especially for someone with his level of experience. Within a couple days of speaking he had the warrant recalled and a new court date scheduled. About a month later he was able to get me a diversion so my record will stay clean. His communication was great and straight forward. I was always able to get a hold of him through phone, text or email whenever I had questions. I am very satisfied with my outcome and will absolutely use Brian again in the future if I ever need a lawyer and would recommend him to anyone in need of representation. Thanks Brian!

Brian Michaels is an experienced attorney that is kind, compassionate, and responsive. I was cautious and apprehensive in choosing an attorney and Brian was an excellent choice. He never left anything unanswered and spent valuable time meeting with me by telephone and in person. He thoroughly understands the law and local court system. I fully recommend Brian as an attorney you can trust to represent you.

Thank you so much for taking my case.They represented me a contentious restraining order battle with my ex husband which affected possibly the custody of my daugter. I am very grateful to Mr. Michaels and his staff for helping me, not charging me an arm and a leg and prevailing in my case. I can now sleep at night and now have custody of my daughter.

Attorney Brian Michaels did an amazing job for us. Our son was arrested for a very serious Burglary case. He was very fair with his fees and allowed us to make payments, which many other attorneys did not allow us to do. He had a serious drug problem, and instead of a lot of jail time, Mr. Michaels was able to convince the District Attorney to allow him to go to a drug program. We couldn't be more grateful. Instead of being a convicted felon, our son is now sober and successful, thanks to the hard work of Brian Michaels. 5 stars.

I am an immigration attorney in Virginia and when my client, a struggling Somalian man with nothing left to his name, was in desperate need of correcting an unjust mistake from a criminal conviction he'd received in the 1990's Brian was our man. Because of Brian's success, my client was able to reopen all three of his removal orders and now qualifies for relief from removal. This man no longer carries the heavy weight of this felony charge he received as a juvenile immigrant, and is free to pursue asylum as relief from being removed from the U.S.

Brian was really professional as well as fun. I am so glad Brian represented me for the restraining order I filed against a stalker. I was really impressed with the initial consultation and how much info and advice he offered, so I hired him. Clearly a busy guy but was able to dedicate more time than I even expected to help with my case. This really helped put my mind at ease in a stressful situation. Highly recommend Brian!
