About
I have been practicing law for 26 years, and the last 18 of those years have been centered in Las Vegas. I love my career because I love to fight for my clients. Basically, I love to win cases. My firm handles criminal, personal injury and family law matters, and I am in court constantly. I am AV rated (the highest rating an attorney can have) with Martindale Hubble, and have been named one of the "Best Lawyers in Las Vegas" in numerous publications. I was recently named one of the "10 Best Lawyers in the State of Nevada" and one of the "Top 100 Lawyers in America" by the American Trial Lawyers Association. I was born and raised in Southern California, and still do a lot of work in California. My goal as an attorney is provide my clients with the very best legal representation, and to build lifelong relationships with my clients. No feeling is better to me thanwhen clients refer their friends and family to me, confident that I will provide the same excellent representation to the referral that I provide for them. I encourage my client to call me with all their legal issues. If I don't handle the matter myself, I promise to find them a reputable attorney they can trust to handle the matter. My goal with all clients is to have a lifelong relationshp, and for the client to feel comfortable knowing that his or her attorney will always be available to give first rate representation or legal advice. Whether you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you were injured in an accident, or you have a divorce or custody matter that you absoultely need to win, know that when you call my office, you are in good hands, and your problem becomes my problem.

Like the title states, Mr. Gowdey is worth every penny. I hired Michael in June for a pending federal criminal case against the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Within minutes of a calling his office I knew he was the lawyer I wanted representing me. He has 30+ years experience, extremely confident is his abilities, and is well respected at the state and federal level. The morning of my court hearing I arrived to find Mr. Gowdey already at the tail end of a deal with the Federal Prosecutor. What could have been a substantial fine coupled with jail time, turned out to be less than $200 restitution and 30 day Deferred Entry of Judgement. Fast forward 27 days later and I was already in possession of a letter from the US Attorney’s Office that all charges had been dropped. I read a poor review around the time I hired Michael. He may not be for everyone. If you are worried about cost, maybe go with a public defender or someone of way lesser caliber. Mr. Gowdey brings 30+ years of experience to the table. You are not paying for his time, you’re paying for his experience. And to say that Michael doesn’t care about people or you feel bad for people that hire him, this is a gross misrepresentation. While sitting in the courtroom we had at least a 30 minute conversation that had nothing to do with my case. We talked about work, family life, etc. If I ever find myself in a situation that requires Mr. Gowdey’s skill-set and expertise, I promise you he will be the first person I call. I highly, highly recommend!!
Thank you for your expeditious and professional handling of my request. I have the utmost respect for you and the work you have done for me. All the best,
Mr. Gowdey went above and beyond in my criminal defense case. From the moment I first sat in his office, he was 100% transparent with me and laid out the entire legal process of my case. I feel honored having him represent me in my legal proceedings. In the end, Mr. Michael I. Gowdey got me the benefit of the bargain, and pretty much saved my life!! I could not have asked for anyone better to represent me. Thank you so much for all that you have done, and continue to do for others in dire times. Today, I am a free man because of you. I can move on with my life because of you. I have a SECOND CHANCE. For anyone looking for legal representation, choose Michael I. Gowdey!!
Micheal helped out me and my wife with our case it was our first time being introuble with the law ither than minor traffic infractions. Mike yook the time to explain the process and answered our questions in a timley manner definitely a true professional. Resulting in a total dismissal of our case. I recommend him to anybody whos in need of help in the legal feilds that he provides for.
Michael is a wonderful Lawyer. He handled my case with ease and reassured all the way through. Thanks.
I hope I never need his services again, but I will gladly hire Mr. Gowdey if the need does arise. In the meantime, I will not hesitate to refer him to everyone I meet! He showed a genuine interest in my case and was extremely thorough. He also listened to me and my concerns, making me feel very comfortable. Thank you for making this tough time a little easier to get through. I have hired many attorneys in my lifetime, this one deserves 5 Stars!
I highly recommend Michael Gowdey to anyone needing a straight up great lawyer that genuinely respects his client. In the need of help, he is a excellent lawyer and the best at getting the work done promptly. He is very knowledgeable, professional, intelligent, and responsive. He’s very direct and straight forward. I appreciate all the work he has done and made sure I got through my case with satisfaction. I got myself in a bad situation where It looked like my ex-boyfriend was going to be awarded 100% physical custody of my infant baby. I hired a lawyer, but because I was traumatized and barely able to speak about the case, that relationship did not work out well. Someone recommended Mr. Gowdey. He quickly grasped the situation and in a short time he negotiated a very fair settlement. We didn’t even have to go in front of a judge. I couldn’t believe how quickly things turned around. I was very relieved and grateful. I hope Michael will still work with me in the future if I have more issuesy with the ex. I’m grateful for having him as my lawyer. You will not go wrong working with him!
We hired Michael Gowdey to seal the conviction records of my nephew. He explained the process to us, plainly and clearly and he got right to work on it. He was successful and now our family member can get back on track with his life. We wish we had hired Mr. Gowdey as the case was being prosecuted. Highly recommended.
Michael Gowdey is a great attorney. He paid attention to all my needs during a time of great distress for me. I felt safe having him by my side, fighting for me and my rights. His knowledge and actions were prompt and on point. I would always reach back out to him in the future if needed, recommend his help to family or friends.
If he didn’t take me case for thousands less then what 5 other lawyers quoted me . I’d be doing life in prison for murder. Once he found the details of my case . He was in the jail to see me . The confidence he displayed about everything gave me hope that I would see freedom again. Witch was hard to believe with my face all over the news and being labeled as a cold blooded killer . I’m able to write this review today from the hard work of Mr Gowdey . Who went back to the crime scene went threw emails . He had me cleared of open murder before my 2nd court date and home in time to spend Christmas with my family .
