About

I am from Muskegon Heights, MI and enjoy traveling across the state representing individuals in what are sometimes very interesting cases. I strive to be a voice for individuals who are seldom heard and to fight for the underestimated.  When I'm not working I enjoy cooking as well as restoring American Muscle Cars.

Attorney Oakes was very professional and extremely efficient. I went to court almost immediately and had a quick and easy process overall.

Mr. Michael Oakes was professional, knowledgeable and provided excellent legal representation. I hired Mr. Oakes to represent me in resolving a monetary dispute with an unethical creditor who had filed a court summons against me. Mr. Oakes succeeded in obtaining a significantly reduced final settlement agreement. I was very pleased with his service and plan to hire him in the future as needed.

Attorney Oakes have voluntarily assisted me with resolving a traffic infraction. He has also assisted family members in criminals and civic problems which I witness. He was caring, concerned and quite professional in resolving each matter. If legal matters arise, he would be my first choice for representation.

I have been working with Michael for a year now; including cases regarding drug charges, divorce, and child services. I had many open cases and needed a lawyer that would be there to actually listen to my issues. I hired Mike in May of 2017. Since then, he has traveled long distances numerous times to attend my court dates. He has not only had many of my serious charges reduced, but he also has had me released from jail numerous times and found rehabs that I could attend. I would highly recommend his services!

I have tried other attorneys to handle my Child Support Situation and the attorneys that I went to wanted to work something out with the mother of my child, when I did not want to. The mother of my child wanted back child support and wanted to put me on Child Support, even though, I fully take care of my child and the mother of my child. I was referred to Mr. Oakes and told him my situation and he simply said, "I got you." Needless to say, I am not on Child Support and I have custody of my son. Mr. Oakes is calm under pressure, stays 3 steps ahead of the opposition, and will get the job done. Dont go any where else except to his office!

I was able to utilize Mr. Oakes legal advise and services on a case, which the State of Michigan refuse my unemployment claim. Mr. Oakes asked his colleagues for some advice when taking on a unemployment case and they suggest he refuse his services and told him the State of Michigan don't lose. They were all wrong, because Mr. Oakes took their advice, used his knowledge and will to study similar court cases, and won this unemployment claim against the State of Michigan, which was very helpful for my family. I feel Mr. Oakes provides compassion for his work, which allows the client to feel more comfortable with their situation during the legal proceeding. Thanks Mr. Oakes for taking my case when other local and state Lawyer stated this would be a waste of both of our times.

Mr. Oakes represented me in a Criminal drug case in Ingham County as well as a probation violation. I was currently a 3rd habitual facing prison time. Michael was able to get me less than a year in jail. Mr. Oakes was easily accessible. I was able to call, text or fax information to him. He went above and beyond by visiting me in jail on a Sunday. I would/have recommended him to family & friends.

I have 5 felonies and for each case I retained Mr. Oakes and I have never been to prison. Everytime I'd ask him what the outcome will be and he would say for instance probation. That's what would happen. He has always had my back and fought for me. Personally he is the best attorney in Michigan. He is always on top of his cases and he never slacks. I love this man to death for the miracles that he has made happen for me. Just recently I went for a probation voilation and I'm on probtion for 2 felonies he assured me that my probation would only get extended for 6 months. The recommendation was for a year and the judge only gave me a 6 month extention like he said. He is a man of his word whatever he says is going to happen thats what will happen. I can't thank him enough for the hard work he has put in for me.

Mr. Oakes has done a great service for me, by being available for me and my family to talk and answer any questions that we had prior to going to court. Very professional in and out of court. I hired him a few months ago and i am very satisfied thus far
