Hired Attorney Michael Gottlieb

Mike was truly a blessing to our whole family. he worked hard to keep us informed and was very diligent in his approach. The case went on for two years and Mr. Gottlieb worked out an amazing deal which allowed me to see my children grow up, and kept me out of prison. I had two sons, 2 and 5 years. and I would have missed some of the best times in my children's life. I would recommend him to anyone. Good job, good luck, and thank you.

I called Mike every day, but I guess I was over worrying alot. He took every call, even on his cell. He's a powerhouse, who is a savage in the court room. lol What happened is embarrassing, I was with a boyfriend and I guess he committed a crime before or when he was with me. idk but it happened I got arrested, and Mike saved me from being a felon for the rest of my life. I was 19 younger, dumber, and much more naive lol. He was so great. Thank You.

Hired Attorney Michael Gottlieb

I had a ex-girlfriend who was determined to do anything she could to me. Not the point, but she took out a restraining order against me. I hired Mr. Gottlieb literally the day before the hearing. He was there for me, showed up about 15 min before to go over the details of the situation. All I know is he got it dropped, and I was able to move on with my life. I was told the female always gets it, this time she didn't. Thank You for everything. I would recommend Mike anytime. Actually I have a few times. You were great Thank You.

Hired Attorney Michael Gottlieb

Right after I graduated, I was arrested on 4 felonies and 2 misdemeanors. Mike had the 2 misd. and 2 felonies dropped before we mad it to trial. Plus after I paid another lawyer for a year and a half to do nothing, but create fear and false hope so he could get more money out of me. This happened in cycles. Until I had to tell him I did not need him anymore. When I hired Mike it only took him a year and a half to have most of my charges, and beat the rest at trial. Two days in trial and I was found not guilty on both of them. I would recommend Mike to anyone, for any person in need of a lawyer. Thank You

Hired Attorney Michael Gottlieb

This guy is the man. I was recommended by a person that I saw and court. I didn't think much of it by was just in need of a lawyer. so I walked up to him and asked him if he would defend me, and he said of course. He asked me my charges, I told him. I said my court date is in 15 minutes. He continued by saying okay well then let's get going. So I asked him don't you want money or to even talk about it. said we'll get to that but right now we got to get to court so let's go. LOL it was funny but he saved me when I was in a pickle. The case went on for about a year, and it ended by him having the charges dropped on a technicality. this guy knows the law like you know how to get in trouble. And those two things go perfect together. And this was all before I found out he helped make the laws as one of our state representatives. bless this man and everything he does 4 his clients and the people he represents in our state.

Hired Law Firm

We hired Mr. Gottlieb for two 3rd degree felony cases, while we can't write a complete review about Gottlieb yet we can start by saying that he is very professional and seems to be a very knowledgeable lawyer. We will write a full review including the two pending cases details as soon as they are filed and finalized.

Hired Law Firm

I fired Gotlieb after he refused to take any legal action to defend me or address the tampered evidence which was identified in two Audio Forensic Reports. The New attorney had the Forensic report submitted to the court and the audio evidence was thrown out. In addition, the new attorney identified an error in the charging document which Michael missed, and the felony charge was thrown out. If I stayed with Michael I would have been forced to accept a 1 year plea deal.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
