Michael Macht has been such a blessing for my case. He has far exceeded my expectations in everything. He has been up front and hard working to get me the best possible outcome. He actually cares about his clients. He takes his time to meet. Answers your questions. He is a beast in the court room. Michael thank you for everything you have done for me.

Mr. Macht not only presented himself professionally and respectfully as a legal representative for another client in the courtroom on the date that I appeared in August...but when I introduced myself to him as a woman who sought legal counsel in an attempt to find a viable resolution for the issue at hand, he was most kind, courteous, and caring enough to offer his immediate assistance. I had come to court on the assigned date to hopefully dismiss the matter with the evidence I provided. However, it did not happen as I had expected. When the court convened for a 15 minute break, I sat outside the courtroom realizing I needed help. I desperately needed a quick resolution. I fully understood that the matter was too difficult for me and was causing me much anguish because I felt that I was "not guilty as charged," contrary to the evidence provided... About that time, I looked up and saw a man whom I recognized as legal counsel for another client who also appeared that day. As Mr. Macht was about to enter the courtroom, I asked him a question regarding "courtroom etiquette." Not only did he respond to me as though I was the most important person on his agenda, he also stopped, listened to and addressed my concerns, and answered all my questions. Because he showed genuine interest for my situation, I felt comfortable sharing with him as he took the time to make sure that he had all the relevant information he needed to proceed. His diligence and persistence prompted me to accurately describe the circumstances that provided the missing link between what it appeared to be versus what really happened. After all was said and done, I realized that I had found counsel that I can really trust... Thank you Mr. Macht for being so good and so kind to a perfect stranger who has now become an advocate and a friend for life...

I was charged with a felony from my previous employeer. I maintained throughout everything that I did not do the crime committed. He met with me and was very honest about the penalty I may face but promised to be there every step of the way with me. Any questions I had, he got back to me in a timely manner, and when I had to be booked he was there with me the entire time. After two months my case was dismissed due to evidence that I did not commit the crime. Macht treated me like a person and not a criminal. He was the one friend I had throughout the entire process. I know that I should never need legal representation again but I would highly recommend him to anyone. He's the best at what he does.

When I first met with Mr. Macht he was very professional. He took his time to answer all my questions and to make sure I understood all the possible outcomes of my case. He treated me fairly and without judgement. I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know who needs an attorney. Also I plan to use him with any other situations I have.

Mike was able to work with the prosecution to get my case cleared and dismissed. He was timely getting back to me on issues and was straight forward about the facts and problems in the case.

I hired Mr. Macht to help me with some traffic citations that I didn't feel I earned. His team was very professional and punctual and Michael had everything handled without my presence even needed in court. I would happily suggest Mr. Macht's team to anyone seeking legal council.

I had a charge that I mistakenly thought was handled years ago. Much to my surprise it was not. I was recommended to Macht from another attorney within the state. Macht was courteous and knowledgable. Communication is important to me and I was always able to speak to Macht or have him return my call. He was professional and advised in a concise manner. It was important to me to know what all the outcomes whether good or bad. In this case, the results came out better than I could have imagined with all due credit going to Macht. I know attorneys get a bad reputation but I have nothing but good words for this one. It was a confusing time for me with an indeterminate outcome. I cannot thank Macht enough for fighting and helping me during that time. Thank you again, Michael Jon Macht.

I received two tickets one of which was out of town. Mr. Macht worked hard to make sure both tickets were dropped. The thing that makes Michael a good lawyer is the fact that he is down to earth and understands that things happen. The ticket that was out of town was a truely unjust ticket Mr. Macht took care of this without the stress and fees.
