Micahael definitely knows what he is doing and for an affordable price. He literally got me a plea offer in which two of my charges were dropped. My previous lawyer, through a family friend didn't get one charged dropped AND I would have done classes and probation. This fact alone makes him worth 5 stars. If you want a great plea offer, hire Michael.

Amazing 10/10 would recommend

I can't recommend Attorney Michael J. Upton highly enough. From start to finish, he provided exceptional service, showing an impressive depth of knowledge and professionalism. He took the time to understand the details of my case, explained everything clearly, and kept me informed at every step. Attorney Upton was always responsive, compassionate, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, my case was resolved favorably, and I couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for a top-notch lawyer who will fight for you, look no further than Attorney Michael J. Upton.

Absolutely amazing experience with Mr. Upton. Trust me he’s Tuscaloosa’s best!

Thanking God for allowing me to meet Michael J. Upton. He took my case and did not back down from nothing. He is loyal to his clients and his commitment. So grateful for him! God placed him in my life and on my case for a reason. Please use him if you are in the Birmingham/Tuscaloosa area. One of the best.

My son was arrested for a minor in possession of a fake ID in the fall of 2021. Will not go into details as to how bad and corrupt the TPD is. We hired Michael Upton to handle his case. Mr. Upton was responsive and to our knowledge handled the case ensuring the case would be expunged from his record and my son was even allowed to pay a charitable contribution to the court in order to avoid community service. A couple of fees were paid by my son directly to the court. Others including the attorney fee was paid by Venmo to Mr. Upton. Cased closed, all good.... so we thought. Fast forward to the summer of 2024. We received a letter from the court stating my son had failed to appear in court and assessed another fine of $1,190. My son appeared in court the two times he was advised to attend. My son paid the attorney to submit on his behalf. Now the court is stating my son has a warrant for his arrest in the state of Alabama. Of course, we paid the $1,190 to avoid an arrest. So my complaint is what happened to the money paid to Mr. Upton? Why is the court assessing additional money to be owed? Why is the court stating my son was never in court? IS the court system flawed, corrupt or correct and we had no knowledge provided by Mr. Upton? Did Mr. Upton make a mistake? Did he scam the money? We have called and texted Michael Upton several times without a response. Leads me to believe something is not right in this situation? how many other kids out there walking around with warrants without knowledge? You make your decision but what we thought was a pleasant experience turned out to be a disaster and the attorney was nowhere to be found. I do not normally right reviews but it went from a 5 to a 1. Disappointing no one will take accountability.

Mr. Upton was the best. He responds so quickly and his communication is great. Highly recommend!
