Let me first start off by saying DO NOT USE THIS GUY OR HIS FIRM!! He took on a marijuana case he and his attorneys knew nothing about. He tried to play everything like; oh it's your entire co-defendants fault this case is going to be difficult because of what he did so we will try to do the best we can. He totally tried to play us against our friend. This is because he knew that if he fails then he could say it's all the co-defendants fault. That's not all!! He lies and says you should take the deal because your co-defendant is a Liar!! I am good friends with the co-defendant even though he said to stop talking to him. Good thing we didn't. Then he tries to split my friend up with his girlfriend while he is away saying it's all his fault you should take this deal though etc. Well by this time we are almost 3 weeks away from trail when he switches the lawyer out for the 3rd time!! Who still does not know anything about medical marijuana cases!! We then ask for an extension because the new lawyer knows nothing about the case having 4 days to prepare all the motions. They instead say we will declare conflict since you want to talk to (just talk not get) another lawyer. Well as I am walking in by myself the new snake lawyer says in her lawyer words, that we will no longer be representing you( my friend). She didn't even understand or have time to say no. We walk out and Michael hands me a card and says here ya go this person should be able to help you sorry we didn't work out you'll be ok.. She starts crying and I t come up and says what's going on? She tells me what happened and I look Michael Snake lawyer right in his snake eyes and asked..."Did you make it clear to ------ that if you claimed conflict that you will no longer be representing her?" His whole demeanor changed and he immediately started to attack me saying it's all my fault the reason we are here and avoided the question... The point of this firm is they will, like most attorneys take on a case hoping you will take a plea bargain so they make an insane amount of money for filing paper work. His whole goal in the beginning was trying to make it look impossible to win and for us to hurry up and take a deal. As soon as he and his partner saw an out, their eyes lit up and said... Thats it! we will declare conflict so we no longer have to represent this case!! This guy is really good at acting like he cares about you which you will notice right away. He is not genuine which you will see. It's almost like he had to read it in a book so he knew what being nice and compassionate was. (look into his eyes, the eyes never lie) We talked to a new lawyer and he told us they should of done a bunch of stuff as far as motions.. What a scam this firm is, they get in take the money and get out. He does not care about people; all he cares about is money! Please take a note and understand I am taking the time to write this to inform you about my friends experience. I do not hate people or try to bad mouth any one. The truth is the truth and I hope he gets a call from the B.A.R soon! This guy is fake don't let him fool you...look into his eyes and trust your gut..... Michael is so fake he posts, (on facebook) "even in these hard financial times while the economy is doing bad and people are suffering, Our offices are doing great and getting so much business" Mike, Your just a tool and do not care about human beings, I feel sorry for you. It's too bad people have to associate themselves with you because of politics, but im sure you give them the fake smile and pat on the back as they do to you. What a joke you are. And every time we see you in the court house you have to give us the look like we did something to you!! WOW !! good way to play it off... But you know what; let this article make you a nicer genuine person toward other human beings. Nobody is perfect, but you don't have to go out of your way to be a liar either. Take care mike, We will take this down as soon as you refund us our money.. Just next time instead of doing what you did to us, say you know what, ----- we are in over our heads and cannot represent you as well as we should be. Here is some of your money and before you take the deal seek another opinion because i don't have any experience with this case. Follow up: This new lawyer (Joe Rogoway) we have is actually passionate about our case and doing so much more work than all three of his lawyers put together. Hope this article helped.. read more

I was pulled over by the police by speeding and they found Adderall without prescription in my car. Looking for a lawyer in the city was difficult because every office took around 5 days to answer me. Michael was different, he got back to me at the same day and was available to meet at 10 PM, my court appointment was early in the morning the next day. The court wanted me to serve 10 days in jail, pay a $1000 fee and go to innumerous narcotic classes, plus volunteer work hours. Michael was smart, his strategy was to reduce it little by little. Of course, if he tried to ask a lot they wouldn`t accept. So, at the first moment he took out my days in jail, reduced the fine and all the volunteer, course and class hours. Then, after that, he prepared a letter with all my background and a really solid argumentation to show the district attorney. He showed her, than they had a long conversation about my situation and at the end he got just incredible outcomes: the deferred my drug charge, and it means it looks like it have never happened and nobody will know about that (clean records) and I`ll have just the speeding charges. Also, the fine was supposed to be around $700 and he reduced it to the minimum of 237. If it wasn`t enough, he negotiated for me to take traffic lessons online, so I don`t have more points on my driver record. Just unbelievable! Thank you so much Michael! I would recommend his services for anyone. Clearly he loves what he do and it makes the whole difference! read more

We highly recommend Micheal Fiumara's firm to anyone needing a good group of people to work on your behalf. My son who was facing a long prison time on multiple drug charges, after recommendation from a family friend we hired Mr.Fiumara to represent our son ,as expected we were very scared and Micheal was very understanding from day one ,he got together the right professional and very competent staff to work on my sons behalf, and they do care for their clients , after a few weeks Mr. Justin Milligan took over as our lead attorney. Mr. Milligan is a very thoughtful and caring, patient attorney ,during this very traumatizing time he was very understanding towards us as at times we were very frustrated and inpatient with the case Justin was always available to our son . At the end we had the very best outcome to my son's case , our son is in rehab after long time of abusing drugs and is clean after a long time . This law firm does care for its clients and represent them with the best defense possible, from Mr. Fuimara ,Maria and the office staff are a incredibly caring group. Mr.Milligan thank you for working so hard for us ,you are the best . God Bless you all. read more

It's very frustrating that YELP continues to HIDE my Yelp Reviews. Anyway, I live in Marin County California and that's where I met Mr. Michael Fiumara at the Marin County Court House where I was assigned an attorney by the court. My previous attorney was not working out. I struck a conversation with Mr. Fiumara in the hallway when I approached him and asked him a question. I have nothing but the deepest respect for him and his Law Firm.   His Law Firm took my case pro-bono because at the time my financial situation was very bad. He fought for me like I had paid him $1 Million Dollars. He provided the District Attorney with the Law and convinced the judge the charges should be dismissed- and they were. Since that time, I have referred Mr. Fiumara clients who told me he does a wonderful job. God works in mysterious ways and God Bless Michael Fiumara. I hope that review remains here because I was told that Yelp discriminates against religious people like myself who say it as it is. BLM!! Anyway, totally recommend this LAW Firm. read more

Michael Fiumara is an excellent attorney. I don't know of anyone who works harder for his clients. He takes time to explain the legal matters thoroughly so they are easy to understand and helps you make informed decisions about the course of action you should take. I have never seen an attorney who works harder for his clients, especially in court. Michael is determined and persevering in working to get alternatives to jail time for his clients, working with drug and alcohol resources, or managing minimum sentences if jail time is unavoidable. Often he is able to get cases dismissed. He is professional and responds to all communications in a timely manner. Justin Milligan is a relatively new addition to his firm but works just as hard and competently as Michael does. I can see why Michael brought him on and made him a partner in the firm. read more

Outstanding dedication, genuine caring concern, thorough and complete preparation, tireless persistence: Michael, his partners and his staff were there whatever it took. The DA and courts wanted to destroy a professional's livelihood with a year of jail time for a DUI, but Michael held their feet to the fire until they agreed to supervised treatment,saving a professional practice decades old. After tragically far more experience with attorneys than anyone should suffer, I know Michael is one in a million. They all claim to care but Michael truly does. He refused to compromise, delivered and won against overwhelming odds. In an increasingly punitive, hating, fascist world, Michael is a lighthouse. I know of none better. read more

Both Michael and Monica helped me win my case. It was not looking so good for me as the consequences i was looking at were months in custody. Michael Fiumara went above and beyond to do anything in his power to help me win my case. Not only is he highly skilled with lots of experience but they show that they are sympathetic towards their clients, really care for their well being, and makes sure that justice is to be served. I can not say enough good things about them as they are all kind, patient, listen to detail and have a firm fist when it comes to beating your case. He doesn't take no for an answer. If you need a lawyer quit looking and call the law offices of Michael A. Fiumara. You will regret it if you don't. read more

Michael is a compassionate and thorough attorney. He assisted a relative with a potential vehicle code violation that could have resulted in a misdemeanor and he was able to get it dropped. He was always keeping her informed every step of the way and truly took the time to assure her everything was going to be alright. Most attorneys lack the interpersonal skills and passion for the law that Michael has and that is why he is the best at what he does in this county. I highly recommend the law firm's services and the staff is bilingual and extremely friendly and helpful. read more

Michael Fiumara represented me for a childhood, sexual assault case, which ended in a 7 figure settlement against a youth group which had failed to protect me during vulnerable, teen years.
