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 was an extremely helpful lawyer, friend, and overall person to have on your side. Whatever situation you find yourself in, when you are stressed beyond measure, and you have literally come to a point where you do not know what to do, Michael comes in to save the day! He seriously helped me out, down to the wire, of deadlines and payment issues. He was amazing and I would recommend him anyone having legal issues with the services he provides!

Weapons Charges/Probation Violation
I was referred to Mr. Fell through a close family friend. I was facing some severe charges and I had just fired my previous attorney (Michael Guisti).
During my free consultation with Mr. Fell, he was precise about what his approach would be. He made no promises but gave me hope through a very detailed game plan. My wife and I made the decision to hire him since we felt so comfortable and clicked with him right off the bat. All I can say is, this man is a STUD and worth every cent he charges.
If you need a criminal defense attorney, he’s your guy. All my charges were dropped and he’s even helping me further on a separate issue free of charge.
Mr. Fell is a huge blessing to my family and I can’t thank him enough.

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.
