Pros

The lawyer is described as passionate, dedicated, and extremely knowledgeable in their field

“Michael is not only the most ferocious talented defense attorney I've ever seen. He also genuinely cares about his clients and will stop at nothing to keep their best interest his top priority.”

The lawyer is responsive, communicative, and accessible to clients

“I can't thank Mike enough for the help her has provided me. I have retained him on 2 different occasions. I appreciate Mike he is honest, professional and trustworthy. Not only is his an excellent attorney he is always phone call away to answer questions.”

The lawyer achieves favorable outcomes for clients, including acquittals and reduced charges

“In the last 5 years, In criminal matters, I've worked on more acquittals with Mr. Witmer than any other lawyer who I currently work with.”

Cons

Some clients experienced a lack of preparedness and incompetence from the lawyer, leading to hardships for the client

“My attorney Alex Serles was grossly unprepared for my hearing and utterly incompetent. Even the judge and District Attorney were angry with his lack of preparedness for my case that morning.”

There were instances of poor client communication and responsiveness, with some clients reporting that the lawyer or firm did not return their calls or emails

“This firm was recommended to me by MetLife Legal. I reached out to Joe to see if he'd be able to help me with some legal work around the purchase of a house. He agreed to help. He then apparently assigned the case to a colleague, Mark. I sent Mark, Joe, and their office staff emails with all of the documents they needed to review. After one initial phone call with Joe and one with Mark, I was unable to get either of them on the phone or to call me back, in spite of leaving voicemails and messages with their receptionist.”
