About

For 44 years, I have had the privilege of representing good people accused of terrible crimes.  I view my client, not just as another case, but as an individual who "wants to be home for dinner;" a father, a mother, a son or daughter, a brother or sister.   My client has a problem and I have the tools to solve it.   The prosecution is always well-funded and powerful.  A defendant's only hope is that his or her lawyer is smart and tough enough to "level the playing field."   I am recognized among those who have worked with me, whether judge or prosecutor as a tough, intelligent criminal litigator.  I have tried federal cases all over the country, from New York to Washington, and all federal districts in California.  I have tried cases in state courts all over California and even in Minnesotta.   On many occasions, my work at trial has served to reverse convictions illegally obtained. Of course, no good lawyer can guarantee a result, but I can guarantee that I will devote my time, energy, and superior knowledge to your case.

Mr.Severo came highly recommended to me from a friend. Once I met with him he was nothing but professional. He took my case and assisted me with a plea deal and I only got probation instead of possibly going to prison. He made my life a lot better once he assisted me.

Mr. Severo has excellent experience and knowledge of all facets of the law. He is still helping me to this day.

I had a DUI back in 2008. My mother was kind enough to pull the funds to afford Michael V. Severo and all he did was tell me to plead guilty and showed up to my arraignments on my behalf. Not worth it. It's like getting the fine for the DUI and then tack on thousands to pay for this guy. There was very little communication or advice that he gave us. Just took my family's hard-earned money. I get that I made a mistake, but I actually had hope that we could win our case when Severo took our case. It broke my heart to see my mom pull all the funds together for nothing. Enough so that I am willing to go out of my way to tell other people BEWARE.
