"Mr. Michie has been my attorney now for 11 years off and on. He was also my son's attorney. He is very thorough in anything he is asked to do. He is easy to get in touch with and very reliable. He will meet you where it is convient for you which makes it great. You dont have to meet in a stuffy office. His rates are very reasonable and sometimes you need a good lawyer as well as one who will work with you on payments and money issues. I would definately recomment him to other clients."
