Michael Root - Las Vegas Criminal Defense Lawyer Reviews & Ratings

Michael Root Bio
I have been representing Las Vegas since 1982. My grandfather was a lawyer, my father was a lawyer, and I started working with my father in 1982 litigating criminal and family law cases. In 1982 I passed the bar after graduating CUM LAUDE from California Western School of Law. I was accepted into the US Navy as a Judge Avocate General (i.e., lawyer in the Navy), and I tried many felony and misdemeanor criminal cases. I was in charge of the Navy's equivalent to the Personal Injury Section for the year, and I gained much criminal and civil experience.. In 1986, I was honorably discharged from the Navy, and I entered private practice with my father. Ever since, I have tried many criminal (both felony and misdemeanor cases), family law cases, and personal injury cases. I also did Chapter 7 Bankruptcies for almost 20 years.. My practice now centers on contracts, criminal, personal injury, all family law (divorce, TPO, child custody), and general civil litigation. My hourly fee of $ (negotiable) is lower than most other attorneys, simply beacuse my overhead is lower. I also have a paralegal service for those who cannot afford an attorney..
