A Lawyer Who Favors Treatment Versus Jail Time
Mike Fell is an attorney I routinely work with. As an expert in addiction, I am routinely consulted by Mike when he has a client who recognizes they are facing severe consequences of substance use and addiction, Mike is compassionate, caring and consistently educating himself about all aspects of treatment.
I have sat with Mike as he consulted with shared clients when he has stated "I urge you to get help as your attorney but as someone who cares about you, I have a personal investment that you be able to lead a good sober life." This may sound ordinary, but it isn't. There are so few attorneys who understand how being physically addicted to substances impacts a client's ability to attend court, make sound decisions and be able to weigh the impact of their actions.
Mike has specific expertise in working with young adults facing DUI and drug related cases and he ethically bridges the need for parent contact with his client's need for confidentiality.
I have had many clients who have worked with Mike, and both the parents and the the client have expressed gratitude with the efficiency and dignity in the way the case was handled.

Michael Fell is Without a Doubt the Superior Choice
I was falsely accused and arrested for a very serious felony. It was truly the worst nightmare in my entire life until I met and spoke with Mr. Fell. I thought that my whole life, my family, and my career dreams were vanishing as I felt that nobody wanted to see the truth. Michael was the one who saw the truth, and was the one who was able to show it to the world. He has a superb experience, an unmatched knowledge of criminal laws, an outstanding intelligence and intuition, and above all high ethical standards with a network of amazing long career contacts.

Outstanding Attorney, the Best Choice
Words cannot express how grateful I am to Mike Fell and all he accomplished for me through his outstanding skills as a criminal defense attorney. Mr. Fell, due to his thorough understanding of criminal law and the Orange County criminal justice system, literally gave me a second chance at life, negotiated a much reduced sentence, kept me out of jail, and allowed me to continue with a productive life.
Having spent almost 19 years as an Orange County deputy district attorney, Mike Fell draws upon his extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the Orange County criminal prosecution process to help represent and defend his clients against what may otherwise appear to be extremely stressful and insurmountable legal obstacles.
Mike Fell is an excellent coach in preparing his clients to deal with the process of being charged with a serious criminal offense. I whole heartedly and highly recommend Mike Fell to anyone who is facing criminal charges.

Best attorney around
He was on top of the ball the whole time. I never felt like I got lost in the crowd of his other clients. He always called me back in a timely fashion. He kept me up to date the whole time through the whole process. Went out of his way and bent over backwards to help me in my time of need.

Simply stated, Mr. Fell is an amazing attorney
Having dealt with a few other attorneys in the past few years pertaining to my son’s alcohol disease, none came close to handling his case with such professionalism as Mr. Fell. He was able to avoid a sure sentencing to a state prison, to remaining in a local jail and then to long term re-hab +. Aside from that, Mr. Fell’s sincere compassion for both the client and we family members was paramount in helping us all through a most difficult time. He was unbelievably so quickly responsive to our calls or concerns. He is a FIRST class plus, lawyer.
