I hired Kavinoky Law Firm, and I am very glad that Michael Meehan was assigned my case. He is a very professional, intelligent lawyer. He was very confident throughout fighting my DUI case. We took the case to jury trial and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. Oh,, I am so relieved now and can’t thank enough to Michael for all his hard work he did on this case. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who is in need of a criminal defense lawyer.
Michael got my friend out of a tight spot facing DUI charges. With the help of accurate representation of facts and advanced planning, the charges were dropped and my friend got his life back. Hiring this attorney was clearly the right choice.
I hired Michael Taylor Meehan to represent me in a DIP case. He was professional and diligent in every detail. He kept me updated throughout the entire process. My case ended up not being filed and dismissed. I did not need to go to court. He handled everything. I could not have done this without Michael's expertise and willingness to go the extra mile. I would not hesitate recommending or hiring him again. I do not plan on having to do that however and am grateful for the second chance I have been granted. Thank you Micheal for all of your knowledge and help. Stephanie L.
I was terrified about my DUI and what would happen to me! Michael Meehan was there for me. He went the extra mile, always knowing he had my back during a difficult time was a great comfort! He listened intently and showed he cared! His knowledge of the law and an understanding of the justice system was of great help! I trusted him implicitly! I can't thank him enough!
Their is no better feeling then to get your case dismissed. I was actually looking forward to getting some type of deal, but when I got the phone call the day before Thanksgiving and Michael told me my case was dismissed, well that just made my day. He also took care of the DMV side of the DUI making it easy for me to go get my license back. Very positive experience, Michael knows the Bay Area court system well and can help you in court if you are charged with a DUI.
Michael was a great help and support to our family during my husbands DUI trail. He was available to give advise, friendly and honest. He was an advocate for our needs and was able to get us a more than fair decision at court.
Michael Meehan was very helpful, professional and extremely excellent at what he does, I would highly recommend him to anyone he not only helped me win my case but informed me on all the information he was really organized
Michael was great! He was smart, fast, and efficient, but also made me feel that I could reach out to him anytime, without the pressure of feeling like if I talked to him, I was on the "lawyer's clock." He got the fastest and best possible result for me. Superb!
Through Michael's innate ability to forge a solid and amiable relationship with his clients, I was always comforted and confident in the fact that he would find a favorable resolution to my legal issue. In short, Michael listens keenly, and no question despite its simplicity, is dismissed or ignored. Through my experience, I can summarize my conversations with Michael in this mantra I professed daily, "Although you erred in judgement, the important fact is to learn from it and move on in a positive direction."
Michael worked really hard on my case to get the results that I needed, which was to keep my drivers license, so I could continue to remain employed. He is a great listener, very knowledgeable and I guess what I am trying to say is that Mike really knows his stuff. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a great listener and he knows how to put one's mind at ease. Thank you Mike for all your help. I really appreciate you and your hard work.
