About

I am a career trial attorney. I specialize in criminal defense, and I handle everything from traffic violations to complex murder cases. I believe that everyone is entitled to exceptional legal assistance, and I have spent more than two decades practicing with that mindset.

Attorney Jim Michael did an amazing job for our Family. He successfully guided us through some very dark, drug related charges, involving one of our children. Grateful!

I worked with Jim on a criminal matter that had dire consequences, and, in my opinion, not exceptional odds of keeping my child out of prison for decades. Jim was exceptionally sympathetic to my wife and my needs as distraught and confused parents, and he helped us understand and navigate the legal system with our child. My wife and I had never experienced any criminal issues in the past, and we did not know where to begin. After researching attorney’s we found Jim, and after our first consultation, we knew he was our attorney. I could rave about his impeccable character, trustworthiness, and kindness for the duration of this review, but I feel an explanation of his ability best explains Jim and confirms we made the right choice hiring him. My child faced Georgia aggravated assault and drug charges and faced just shy of 100-years of possible prison time. As though that was not bad enough, we faced the notoriously known toughest judge in our district, which had a history of ordering extensive sentences in these types of cases. To make a long story short, Jim’s actions resulted in our child serving about 18-months in prison and probation. After a few years of complying with the probation requirements, Jim helped our child again go before the court to request the removal of the probation and expungement of the record; the court agreed. Jim literally gave our child back his life!

I retained James to assist with having a criminal record sealed. James was very professional, he took care of the process from beginning to end and communicated with me every step of the way.

Attorney Michael was precise, communicative and a true advocate and he represented our family with the utmost integrity during our crisis. I highly recommend Attorney Jim Michael to represent your interests before the Judicial System.

Great experience overall having Jim Michael as my attorney. Jim was very professional from the onset, very upfront, honest, and got results FAST even during a pandemic! Jim was able to remove a felony conviction that I had for over 25+ years looming over my head. I had attempted expungements over the years with no success. I "highly" recommend Jim as an attorney and will refer his services to anyone who needs help. I couldn't ask for more. #greatful #highlyrecommend #5stars

Jim Michael is simply put - the best lawyer in Georgia! I had the pleasure to be represented by Jim twice, and both times, Jim was able to not only have my case fully dismissed, but also had my arrest record restricted! Jim is extremely professional and very dedicated to get the best outcome possible for you. He was very rigorous and worked extremely hard. He was also very courteous and proceeded with such immense precision during my case that I felt at ease during a crisis. He was always one phone call/text away when my family and I were filled with stress and worries - resting us assure that we were in great hands. Jim was very thorough in explaining each and every detail regarding the charges I caught - and what would be the best way to go about it. Jim is also very well connected with numerous prosecutors and judges all over the state of GA, making him the best lawyer to negotiate and present a deal that would best suit the outcome desired. For my family and I - Jim was simply God-sent! Truly the best lawyer I have ever come across with. I am forever in debt to his exceptional representation - for he single handedly saved my future and blessed me to have a second chance in pursuing the career and goals I have always dreamed of accomplishing. Thank you very much Mr. Micheal! I would have never thought it would be possible to have my charges completely dismissed (twice!) and my record expunged while at the same time! I strongly recommend Jim to anyone and everyone whom is looking for a formidable lawyer to represent you! A job exceptionally well done!

We had a very difficult issue with respect to a family member that had long term potential impact if we did not get a positive outcome. We were familiar with Jim Michael from another matter he had handled for a non-family member. Based on that, we decided to engage with Jim. Jim was awesome, providing us with a clear understanding of how we will navigate the issue, potential outcomes with a realistic outlook, and mentoring for our family member. In the end, after following Jim's advice all the way through, and Jim's clear knowledge and understanding of not only the law, but also of the judicial system, judge, clerk, etc., we had an excellent outcome. Now our goal is to never speak to Jim again! :-) A big thanks to Jim and his help.

Attorney Jim Michael did an amazing job for our Family. He successfully guided us through some very dark, drug related charges, involving one of our children. Grateful!

I worked with Jim on a criminal matter that had dire consequences, and, in my opinion, not exceptional odds of keeping my child out of prison for decades. Jim was exceptionally sympathetic to my wife and my needs as distraught and confused parents, and he helped us understand and navigate the legal system with our child. My wife and I had never experienced any criminal issues in the past, and we did not know where to begin. After researching attorney’s we found Jim, and after our first consultation, we knew he was our attorney. I could rave about his impeccable character, trustworthiness, and kindness for the duration of this review, but I feel an explanation of his ability best explains Jim and confirms we made the right choice hiring him. My child faced Georgia aggravated assault and drug charges and faced just shy of 100-years of possible prison time. As though that was not bad enough, we faced the notoriously known toughest judge in our district, which had a history of ordering extensive sentences in these types of cases. To make a long story short, Jim’s actions resulted in our child serving about 18-months in prison and probation. After a few years of complying with the probation requirements, Jim helped our child again go before the court to request the removal of the probation and expungement of the record; the court agreed. Jim literally gave our child back his life!

Attorney Michael was precise, communicative and a true advocate and he represented our family with the utmost integrity during our crisis. I highly recommend Attorney Jim Michael to represent your interests before the Judicial System.

Great experience overall having Jim Michael as my attorney. Jim was very professional from the onset, very upfront, honest, and got results FAST even during a pandemic! Jim was able to remove a felony conviction that I had for over 25+ years looming over my head. I had attempted expungements over the years with no success. I "highly" recommend Jim as an attorney and will refer his services to anyone who needs help. I couldn't ask for more. #greatful #highlyrecommend #5stars

Jim Michael is simply put - the best lawyer in Georgia! I had the pleasure to be represented by Jim twice, and both times, Jim was able to not only have my case fully dismissed, but also had my arrest record restricted! Jim is extremely professional and very dedicated to get the best outcome possible for you. He was very rigorous and worked extremely hard. He was also very courteous and proceeded with such immense precision during my case that I felt at ease during a crisis. He was always one phone call/text away when my family and I were filled with stress and worries - resting us assure that we were in great hands. Jim was very thorough in explaining each and every detail regarding the charges I caught - and what would be the best way to go about it. Jim is also very well connected with numerous prosecutors and judges all over the state of GA, making him the best lawyer to negotiate and present a deal that would best suit the outcome desired. For my family and I - Jim was simply God-sent! Truly the best lawyer I have ever come across with. I am forever in debt to his exceptional representation - for he single handedly saved my future and blessed me to have a second chance in pursuing the career and goals I have always dreamed of accomplishing. Thank you very much Mr. Micheal! I would have never thought it would be possible to have my charges completely dismissed (twice!) and my record expunged while at the same time! I strongly recommend Jim to anyone and everyone whom is looking for a formidable lawyer to represent you! A job exceptionally well done!

We had a very difficult issue with respect to a family member that had long term potential impact if we did not get a positive outcome. We were familiar with Jim Michael from another matter he had handled for a non-family member. Based on that, we decided to engage with Jim. Jim was awesome, providing us with a clear understanding of how we will navigate the issue, potential outcomes with a realistic outlook, and mentoring for our family member. In the end, after following Jim's advice all the way through, and Jim's clear knowledge and understanding of not only the law, but also of the judicial system, judge, clerk, etc., we had an excellent outcome. Now our goal is to never speak to Jim again! :-) A big thanks to Jim and his help.

Jim literally gave our child back his life!

I retained James to assist with having a criminal record sealed. James was very professional, he took care of the process from beginning to end and communicated with me every step of the way.

Attorney Michael was precise, communicative and a true advocate and he represented our family with the utmost integrity during our crisis. I highly recommend Attorney Jim Michael to represent your interests before the Judicial System.

Great experience overall having Jim Michael as my attorney. Jim was very professional from the onset, very upfront, honest, and got results FAST even during a pandemic! Jim was able to remove a felony conviction that I had for over 25+ years looming over my head. I had attempted expungements over the years with no success. I "highly" recommend Jim as an attorney and will refer his services to anyone who needs help. I couldn't ask for more. #greatful #highlyrecommend #5stars

Jim Michael is simply put - the best lawyer in Georgia! I had the pleasure to be represented by Jim twice, and both times, Jim was able to not only have my case fully dismissed, but also had my arrest record restricted! Jim is extremely professional and very dedicated to get the best outcome possible for you. He was very rigorous and worked extremely hard. He was also very courteous and proceeded with such immense precision during my case that I felt at ease during a crisis. He was always one phone call/text away when my family and I were filled with stress and worries - resting us assure that we were in great hands. Jim was very thorough in explaining each and every detail regarding the charges I caught - and what would be the best way to go about it. Jim is also very well connected with numerous prosecutors and judges all over the state of GA, making him the best lawyer to negotiate and present a deal that would best suit the outcome desired. For my family and I - Jim was simply God-sent! Truly the best lawyer I have ever come across with. I am forever in debt to his exceptional representation - for he single handedly saved my future and blessed me to have a second chance in pursuing the career and goals I have always dreamed of accomplishing. Thank you very much Mr. Micheal! I would have never thought it would be possible to have my charges completely dismissed (twice!) and my record expunged while at the same time! I strongly recommend Jim to anyone and everyone whom is looking for a formidable lawyer to represent you! A job exceptionally well done!

I hired him during a very dark and complicated time in my life. He believed in me and fought hard. With his guidance and dedication everything turned out great. I really appreciate James Michael and his staff was super patient and never treated me like a criminal. He's is the best!

He helped me out the best he could in my situation. Kept in constant contact and was there for me whenever I needed him.

We had a very difficult issue with respect to a family member that had long term potential impact if we did not get a positive outcome. We were familiar with Jim Michael from another matter he had handled for a non-family member. Based on that, we decided to engage with Jim. Jim was awesome, providing us with a clear understanding of how we will navigate the issue, potential outcomes with a realistic outlook, and mentoring for our family member. In the end, after following Jim's advice all the way through, and Jim's clear knowledge and understanding of not only the law, but also of the judicial system, judge, clerk, etc., we had an excellent outcome. Now our goal is to never speak to Jim again! :-) A big thanks to Jim and his help.
