"Michael was absolutely brilliant. He and everyone in his office was always quick to respond to phone calls and emails answering every question and making sure I felt comfortable and confident moving forward with my case. I felt that my case was a very important priority to the entire office. Michael Shaheen was present at every court appearance I had and made sure I was fully prepared and knew what to expect. I would highly recommend Michael Shaheen and his associates to anyone I know.”
