Was so helpful in our son's case, We are 8 hours away n another state but he was so hard working and very knowledgeable and explained things over the phone and thru zoom so well. We are so happy we found him. Would recommend to others. Thank you once again Michael Wilson.

Mike assisted me with a difficult criminal matter. His expertise provided me with facts and gave me an unbiased look at options and dispositions. He was available when I had questions and kept me abreast of case information. We were very lucky to have gotten the best outcome possible, and I believe that is because Mr. Wilson was an integral part of my defense. If I should ever need another attorney, I'll be giving him another call indeed!

Michael really helped me out with my DUI case. I called expecting to pay $$$$ for an attorney, but Michael was very transparent with me. He was polite, knew a lot about my situation, and called back quickly. I'd suggest him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Michael was extremely helpful when we were faced with a sudden legal situation. He explained our options and stayed on top of changes to the case. We had to request a date change and he worked very hard to get that accommodation. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael, especially to anyone having to deal with a legal matter for the first time.

Working with Michael was a pleasure .. He was extremely caring and kept us update on what was going on … we knew we weren’t the only case he has to work on and some were much more pressing then ours .. so please keep in mind when hiring any lawyer yes your are important but they have a heavy work load to . Michael got the best outcome for us regarding our situation.. I would definitely recommend him and definitely give him and the company Berry law a 5 star rating ! We definitely would use them above anyone else

After going through a DUI case with Michael I highly regret hiring him. He lacks communication, brags about his years of being a lawyer yet the two times he needed to present he was unorganized not understanding the judge and being called out for it not to mention showed up late the second time. He didn’t talk through with the prosecutor about different options available and when I questioned what I could do he just kept saying he highly recommends probation when he knowingly only spoke about that option with the prosecutor. Life goes on and it is what it is. But if you want someone on time, professional, understanding, gives his all to each case. Don’t hire Michael. He’ll give an excuse that he has so many clients he can’t remember what your case is even about.
