He was professional and personable. He was upfront and honest. He fought for me with integrity. His staff is amazing and always there to listen and help. He won my case! I'm forever grateful.

Mike managed to persuade the DA to not file charges on a matter. He promptly returned calls and was a pleasure to deal with in a difficult situation.

Mike helped me through the legal process for felony drug possession and was extraordinarily helpful from the start. He always provided me with detailed outlines of what I needed to do to ensure that the court was satisfied. If I hadn't hired him I wouldn't have been able to return to school out-of-state or participated in my study abroad program. I'm glad that this chapter of my life is over but I'm grateful that I had Mike's legal counsel to guide me.

I came looking for help with some legal issues Was having earlier in the year and Mike help me out a great deal. Professional and personable it was easy to work with him in getting the legal help I needed. He gave me a free one on one consultation and after the one visit I was set to hire home to represent me. I was put at ease and Mike followed through.

I hired Mr. de Muniz as my attorney for my DUII case. HeImmediately got to work on my case. I felt I would need to be much more part of the process, but Me de Muniz took care of EVERYTHING for me. That allowed me to keep my mind at ease and focused on work and family. He promptly answered any questions or concerns I ever had (no matter how ridiculous they got) thoroughly. Highly recommended!!!

I would recommend Michael to anyone who needs help and support thru a difficult road of problems he or she might face. I had no idea where to look and when I found him he was my choice the first time I discussed my issue. He did his research and I walked me thru my potential issues that I faced. When we were done he got me a great decision and my life can more productive with his help. I have not had a lot of experience hiring lawyers but if you need one I would totally recommend him.

I hired Mike to represent my son, who was already serving a lengthy prison term in Washington state. He was being charged with a similar crime in Washington county, and I was so scared my son was going to get an additional 5 years on top of the 13 years he already received in Clark County. Mike built an incredible rapport with my son and didn't treat him as a "criminal"!!!! During an emotional 2 days for us all, Mike didn't disappoint us! Mike is 100% genuine, kind and knows his stuff! I will be singing his praises for years to come! Thank you so much for everything, Mike!!!!!!!

Mike was excellent in my case, he never promised anything he didn't feel he could deliver and delivered more than than what I expected. He was responsive and respectful, I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone in need of representation. Thank You Mike.

I retained Mr. de Muniz to help with a motion to set aside my convictions and he advised me of every which way it could have gone and suggested to me that the best thing for me to try was to ask for a reduction instead. I was advised that due to some circumstances that I may not even get that and that it was up to me if I wanted to move forward with it or not. I chose to move forward and ended up receiving the reductions and everything worked in my benefit and I believe that it was due to Mr. de Muniz and his advice and how he handled court and how prepared he made me for all the possible outcomes. I would refer him to everyone that asks my advice about lawyers who practices in Clatsop County
