I hired Michael Raheb to handle 2 felony and vop charges for my son. He was very available, answering his phone, returning calls or texts throughout the process, unlike any other attorneys I've had dealings with in the past. What could have been years was handled in a matter of weeks for my son, all charges dropped. This guy is diligent and pulls the right strings! He comes highly recommended by me and my son.

Attorney Michael Raheb was able to efficiently get charges dropped against me before the court date and just over 2 weeks from being arrested. He is straightforward, and honest regarding any questions you have for him. His employees are professional and courteous, as well.

Best Attorney in Lee County!! After 2 other attorneys one that didn't bother to call back at all or go meet my fiance the actual client, the other one somehow managed to make things worse for him in court.. Finally found Michael and 3rd time is definitely the charm! I walked into his office in tears frustrated with the last two and his super sweet staff called him right then and there he talked to me and that night went to see my fiance who was being held no bond for violating probation. He never lied or sugar coated things he was honest and forthcoming about what we were facing! He told us what to expect and he somehow made what one attorney said was impossible happen!! He knows the judges and the prosecuters and has great working relationships with them and will do whatever he can to help! He always answered my calls and my constant questions and always responded timely! I wish we had gone with him first, we are so grateful to him and his great staff!!

Excellent attorney, would not choose anyone else in Lee County. Out of a total of 5 this guy somehow pulled some strings no one else could. Honestly surprised and grateful I choose Mr. Raheb. Was supposed to do 6 months and probation and there was no other way according to the attorney I had hired. I panicked and called numerous people he showed up to court within the 12 hours I contacted him and got me out of doing 6 months. Still amazed and grateful.
