I was born and raised in the Greenbrae hills of Marin County, California, next to beautiful Mt. Tamalpais and the San Francisco Bay. I graduated from Redwood High School in 1981, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, with a minor in Business Administration, from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1985. I received my law degree (JD) from Santa Clara University School of Law in 1989. I am a member of the State Bar of California, the Marin County Bar Association, and am a former member of the Santa Clara, San Mateo & San Francisco Bar Associations.. I began my legal career with the law firm Ropers, Majeski, Kohn, Bentley, Wagner & Kane in Redwood City, California. I specialized in Appellate & Insurance Coverage/Bad Faith defense for two years before transferring to the firm's San Jose offices to handle complex litigation in the areas of product liability, construction defect and severe personal injuries. In 1996, I joined the litigation firm of Shiver & Gulick in San Francisco which specialized in business and corporate law. At that time, I expanded my practice to include real estate matters including partition, easement & title disputes, and eminent domain.. Desiring to represent clients on a personal "one-to-one" basis, I opened the Law Office of Michael O. Lamphere in downtown San Francisco in 1996. I continued to specialize in general civil litigation. In 2000, I merged my law office with the Law Office of Paul O. Lamphere of Martinez, California, forming Lamphere Law Offices, LLP.  Our new firm specialized in eminent domain and other real estate litigation, as well as all personal injuries, malpractice & insurance disputes. The firm combined 58 years of trial experience in the California State and Federal courts. In April 2003, Paul retired from the practice of law after 43 years, and the firm became the sole proprietorship, Lamphere Law Offices. I moved our offices to the current San Rafael location in 2015.. With 26 years of litigation trial experience,  I have developed a keen understanding of the court system, its judges and juries, and the hard work that is required to successfully resolve a civil dispute. To that end, I approach my clients' cases with a time-tested formula: "Prepare" the case by listening to my client, understanding their concerns, marshaling  all the facts,  intensively researching the law, and being better prepared than our opposition; "Fight" to convince our opposition and, if needed, a jury of the merits of my client's case, and "Succeed" by achieving a fair result for which my client will say I fought hard for them and justice was done.

I spend my free time with my family.   When the weather is nice, we like to go to the beach or hike the trails in Mairn County.  I like to travel.  I love Paris.  I love Hawaii.  I don't have "hobbies" unless you count all of the times that I have tried to learn to knit.  I enjoy puttering around my garden listening to music.. I grew up in Fresno.  My dad is an almond grower.  I always say that Fresno was a nice place to grow up.  We skied in the winter and spent our summers in Santa Cruz.   I have lived in the Bay Area ever since I left Fresno to go to college.  I have lived in Marin County for almost thirty years.

I received my Juris Doctorate degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, and graduated cum laude with College Honors from University of California, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science.. I am experienced in handling various types of family law matters. Whether you are seeking a terminate your marriage, establish child custody, child support, or spousal support, or are faced with any other family law issue, I will stand by your side and help you get through this difficult time. While in many situations parties reach a settlement before trial, I have the skills necessary to competently and zealously advocate for you in court if necessary.. I deeply value serving my San Francisco Bay Area community. I dedicate countless hours of pro bono legal services to low-income clients.. Community Involvements

I provide my clients with excellent, effective, efficient and ethical representation.  I do not shy away from difficult cases.  I am able to negotiate favorable dispositions or take a case to trial and win.  I will treat you with respect  and dignity.  I make myself available to answer any questions or concerns as they develop.  I enjoy being active in my community and volunteering my time coaching youth football.. I handle all types of criminal cases, from felonies to misdemeanors.  I also represent clients in post conviction proceedings such as probation violations, expungements, and motions to terminate probation early.  I handle DUIS, drug crimes, violent crime, domestic violence cases, property crime, and all other types of criminal offenses.

I practice exclusively in the area of estates and trusts and am first and foremost committed to treating my clients as I would want my most beloved family members to be treated by a trustworthy advisor.My approach to planning is wholistic, which allows individuals and families to forge and articulate their complete human legacy as opposed to merely their financial legacy. I take the time to get to know my clients deeply, so that I can more effectively help them translate their values into financial and intangible gifts that will be passed down to loved ones and to cherished causes. I also help people remember that the quality of their relationships is the primordial "asset" in a successful navigation of life's transitions, including the birth of children, new family configurations, and the unforeseen challenges that visit many lives. Assets accumulated over a lifetime can too easily be dissipated in senseless family disputes, where the interpersonal bonds have not been strengthened throughout a lifetime, nor wishes clearly communicated.Truly acknowledging that we are more than the dollars we have accumulated, that the world needs our generosity for its re-creation, and that the quality of our relationships is vital to a harmonious trajectory through this life, are just some of the great benefits of approaching estate planning in a wholistic manner. It is always a deep honor to assist my clients in this important process.

Fighting for justice as a criminal defense attorney is a cause that is dear to my heart. Three decades ago, at the age of 19, I made the mistake of selling LSD to an undercover officer and ended up serving two and a half years in New York State Prison. This was an ordeal that I will never forget and I will also never forget what it was like to have my life in the hands of a lawyer who didn’t seem to really care about me or my concerns. Many years later, I decided to become a lawyer to provide people with the kind of legal representation that they really deserve, the kind that I didn’t get when I really needed it.. In my view, being a criminal defense attorney should not just be a way to make a living, but should be a way to really serve people that need help during a very challenging time in their lives. I fight every case as if it were my own freedom at stake, not settling for anything less than the very best possible outcome for my clients, who have put their trust in me. I believe in my heart that people are worth fighting for and that the way the criminal justice system punishes people usually does more harm than good.. One of the most important things that I practice is staying in good communication with my clients and fully explaining to them everything that’s happening with their case. I will always return your calls and keep you in the loop so that you know exactly what I’m doing for you and where your case is headed.. I am committed to investigating every defense available to my clients and seeking to get their cases dismissed in any way possible. I am eager to win cases outright, rather than having my clients plead guilty when it’s not necessary. Often there are ways to be creative with a case and wind up with a victory. Only when there are no other alternatives and it is truly in your best interest should you plead guilty to a criminal offense.. I have had great success winning cases and getting my clients the outcomes they want. I have gotten many cases dismissed, won dozens of jury trials, and gotten convictions overturned on appeal. My clients often tell me how glad they are to have found a lawyer like me. This is something I take great pride in. I hope that whoever is reading this never needs my services, but if you do, it is my goal to do everything in my power to get you the best results possible in your case.
