I pride myself in keeping my clients informed in every step of the process.. -----. DISCLAIMER: NOTHING SAID HERE IS LEGAL ADVICE! Read this notice BEFORE you contact me! My posts on Avvo in response to the public's questions are never offered as legal advice. They are meant as general legal commentary. Also, because laws and the courts' interpretations change over time, posts that I make can soon become irrelevant given a change in statute or pivotal court case after I make them. Do not rely on any response posted by me as applicable to your specific problem or circumstances. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions - Answers forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me or my law firm. Please do not call or email me with a “few questions.” I give advice, make recommendations, and answer specific questions only after reviewing the documentary record and other evidence applicable to a specific client, and only in the course of or following a conference with my client in which all of the relevant information can be identified and developed. AND I give legal advice ONLY in the course of an attorney-client relationship created and defined by a written contract for services, signed by my client and by me or a member of my firm, for which payment (or agreement for pro bono services in writing and and signed by both myself and the client) has been made.

Practicing criminal defense in the Los Angeles, Orange County, and Inland Empire areas I represent and defend many good people every single day who are facing tough criminal charges. Why?  Because I know what it is like to be falsely accused.  I know what it is like to be stereotyped and harassed by the police.. Growing up in Southern California, and spending a lot of time at the beach, I was frequently contacted by the police.  Whether I was pulled over in my car, or approached on the boardwalk in San Diego, police officers seemed to want to stop and ask me questions, fishing for evidence of criminal activity.. Fortunately, nothing ever became of those contacts.  However, it did leave me with a lasting impression of police officers, the amount of power they have over us, and how I felt when confronted by them.. I attended Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and was fortunate to receive a full tuition scholarship.  Courses involving criminal procedure, evidence, and constitutional rights immediately appealed to me.  I finished up law school, passed the bar in 1999, and began my career as a criminal defense attorney serving the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange County areas.. Whether your case involves a misdemeanor DUI, or a violent strike felony, I will aggressively attact the prosecution's case in order to achieve the best possible results.  This is achieved by diligently handling your case; thoroughly reviewing your police report; contacting important witnesses; obtaining copies of video and audio statements/ and or surveillance tapes; researching case law that supports your position; and contacting the District Attorney's Office to discuss charges being dropped or reduced.  Ultimately, positive results come from hard work.

As a young Prosecutor Michaels tried nearly 100 cases to verdict and settled nearly 1000 more cases. Michaels success as a trial attorney allowed him to work as a trial advocate trainer, in which he was assigned to teach trial skills to lawyers from large corporate firms in trial advocacy.. After several years working as a front line trial lawyer attorney Michaels moved over to the LAPD's elite litigation unit during the height of the cities Rampart Scandal in which he won all of his jury trials. Michaels worked intimately with law enforcement during these years and valued his time working and learning from law enforcement. His years working as a Prosecutor and Police Litigation Attorney gave him invaluable training and experience, nearly unparalled amongst working defense attorneys. After nearly 8 years in government service Michaels retired to private practice in 2002..

In 2021, Michaels opened "The Restraining Order Lawyer" in response to an overwhelming demand in the wake of the pandemic. His office recognized that the lack of police presence in many parts of the state has lead to an increased demand in people needing to resolve their legal issues without the help of law enforcement.
