Michael Spano is unquestionably the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He represented my son in a very serious criminal matter and I found him to be extremely articulate, knowledgeable, understanding, and compassionate. Michael's integrity is beyond reproach, he candidly advised me of both the good and the bad throughout the progression of the case, and at no time did he ever sugarcoat information or make any speculative promises. He possesses the patience of a saint and repeatedly answered all questions thoroughly. He always welcomed our input and seriously considered any suggestions that we made. Michael earned my family's absolute trust and made certain that no decision was ever made without my son's full agreement. I firmly believe that Michael truly cares about his clients and most importantly about their future. I can't thank Michael enough for what he did for my son and our family. I'm quite certain that had any other attorney represented my son the outcome would have been very very different and not in a good way.

Mr. Spano took on my case and was professional, communicative, and understanding. He was very quick to respond to any of my emails and always answered any questions I had. I truly will recommend him to any individual! Thank you Mr. Spano for all that you have done! Words cannot describe how thankful for what you have done for me.

On two occasions this year I needed the services of Michael Spano and he was quick to respond. He has the communication skills and the perseverance to complete the work necessary and drive it to a successful conclusion. In both situations, I was pleased with the results of his work and the decisions of the court. Michael understands that he not only works with people, but for them and his actions influences their lives. That said, I would highly recommend him without hesitation,

I'm so thankful to have Michael Spano as my attorney. He is very precise and explains everything to me in detail. Professional, quick and confident resolution to my case. Would highly recommend him.

Michael Spano is an excellent defense attorney. We have been his clients for the past five months, and have experienced his skill in navigating the legal process to achieve the best outcome for us. With experience in both law enforcement and prosecution, his well-rounded background gives him a unique understanding of the defense process -- which I believe translates to an advantage for his clients. I also found him to be trustworthy, committed, and willing to take time to explain. Highly recommended!

Michael Spano was very professional and very helpful. I received a speeding ticket, and he was the first person I called. He was able to get it dropped down to a nonmoving violation, which was no points on my license. He always made sure to keep me in the loop during the whole process. Would highly recommend. Thanks again!

Michael spano is a very respected attorney and I am confident to say that his reputation succeeds him. Michael spano is calm, understanding and very confident. His representation saved my life, I'm sure it could save another. A+ attorney

I met Michael Spano during the darkest time in my life. Michael recently represented me in a serious criminal case. From our initial meeting, I knew I had chosen the best legal representation. He listened to me, he followed up on every detail and most importantly he believed in me. My life was in Mike's hands and I trusted him. He never made false promises. Mr. Spano worked tiredlessly and diligently in trial preparation. I was scared and afraid, Mike was there day/night to speak with me with any questions I had. He always demonstrated a kind and compassionate manner while understanding my uncertainty in the unknown. In the courtroom, Mr. Spano was brilliant! He presented my case in a professional and thoroughly prepared manner. He fought for me. Mr. Spano is a well-respected attorney. A true, soft spoken gentleman without a trace of arrogance. Michael Spano is the only board-certificated lawyer in Criminal Trial & Advocacy in NYS for a reason. Words can not express my deep gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding representation provided by Michael Spano. Thank you Mike for all your efforts on my behalf.

Mike was very professional and did a great job representing me in my legal matter. He was very attentive to detail and was really working hard to help me out. I am 100 % satisfied with the results and would recommend him to anybody with legal issues.

I am very pleased with the outcome that Mike Spano had with my son's case. Going into the stressful situation at every turn, Mike was there and let us know upfront what the costs would be and what the outcome would be provided my son complied with everything that was asked of him, which he did, now my son doesn't have a criminal record and he can grow into a fine young man that he is. I would recommend Michael Spano to anyone. He is very efficient and informs you with every move. I thank you for all that you did for me and my family.

Michael Spano did an outstanding job helping me out with my troubling situation. He was upfront, clearly explained the situation and what I needed to do, and always promptly returned my calls. He made sure I understood what was going on at all times with my case and most important, got me out of trouble and kept me out of jail! I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Syracuse area, and I couldn't be more happy with what he did to help me out.

When I was 19 years old I made a foolish mistake to steal from my employer Wal-Mart. Over a span of time, myself and another associate would occasionally take food and other small items with out paying for them. This happened on 9 occasions. I was caught by loss prevention and charged with 9 counts of petit larceny. I went to court a couple times but eventually moved to buffalo. I ended up losing contact with my previous lawyer and ended up not going to court. Several months later I found out that I had a warrant for my arrest, but I never turned myself in. I lived in Buffalo for a couple years and then moved to Middletown for a couple more years where I married and had two children. Within this 4-5 years span I had been pulled over by state police and turned away from the Canadian border and each and every-time they informed me about my warrant and let me know that Cicero police will let me turn myself in. I am now 25 and it wasn't until I found a new job that I realized that these petit larceny charges are serious and I needed to take care of them. On September 19th, 2014 I started looking for a lawyer so that I could eventually turn myself in. I searched the internet for criminal lawyers in Syracuse and Michael Spano's name appeared at the top. After researching Michael Spano I hired him immediately to represent me. A week later after hiring Michael Spano, he was able to get me a court date for October 2, 2014. On October 2nd I turned myself in and had my warrants released and was told to come back to Cicero for another court date because Michael Spano needed one more week to obtain a disposition. On October 9th, several hours before court, I was informed by Michael Spano that all 9 counts of petit larceny were significantly reduced to 2 counts of disorderly conduct which are not crimes. I am greatful to have Michael Spano represent me who made it so that I can move on with my life without a criminal record. My aspiration is to become a CPA and Michael Spano has made it so that I can continue with that dream.
