From the second I walked into Mike Duffy's office I knew I was in great hands. In very common terms he explained fully what I should expect how to deal with the case and follow up during court appearances. Mike knew every in and out of the procedure made me feel knowledgeable about the material myself and comfortable/confident in the outcome. I could always reach Mike whenever I had any questions in between appearances and he always made me feel comfortable in asking. In the first rounds of appearing in court I could just tell and feel that I had the best lawyer in the room and almost felt bad for everybody else after listening to Mike speak with the DA and judge compared to the other lawyers present that day. Most importantly we got the outcome we hoped for!
Mr. Duffy’s professionalism and expertises displayed to the judge everything that shined about me. His use of knowledge of my background and no priors plus an amazing career opportunity lead to having my ticket dismissed. I highly recommend Mr. Duffy!
Mr.Duffy was hired as my criminal defense lawyer, his expertise in criminal justice was straight forward, his knowledge and attention to my case was, awesome! Mr. Duffy is a lawyer I would recommend in time of any crisis dealing with our judicial system.
Professional, exceptional, quick analytical mind, best attorney I have had the pleasure to represent me.
Mr. Duffy was a calming presence during a difficult time. He was very knowledgeable and professional and took the time to explain all our options and educate us as to why. We had the best possible outcome and I would use him again. Highly recommend.
Mr. Duffy was very helpful with my case. He was efficient, informative, and fought for me. I completed the assigned requirements and my case was later dismissed.
Mr. Duffy did a great job with my case. He helped me understand what my options were. It was my first time going to trial and I felt very confident knowing he was defending me. He has a ton of knowledge about the law and I learned a lot from him while he represented me. He is great lawyer and a great person. I definitely recommend him, he will not let you down.
Mr. Duffy looked at me as not just a client or job, but as a person. He cared about the outcome of my case and fought hard to have the charges lessened. He always made time to return my calls or emails by the end of the day of next day. He treated me with kindness and respect. He would always talk to me, NOT at me or over me. A real gentlemen and excellent lawyer.
