"I can't say enough good things about Michael Moore, he helped me navigate through some serious criminal charges. He was always there to explain everything to us in terms we could easily understand, also very responsive anytime I had questions outside of our meetings. At the end of the court proceedings, Mr. Moore was able to get the criminal charges dismissed.
We’re extremely grateful for all his hard work I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation."

"Mr. Moore is a very competent and excellent lawyer. He is able to respond to customer information in a timely manner, and actively strive for more favorable conditions for customers, and give very useful advice. And his lawyer's fees are reasonable. My parents needed two lawyers on this case, and he recommended a good one for us to help. His assistant Miss Tiffany is also very amiable, timely to solve problems for customers, to achieve positive and effective communication. If you ever need a lawyer, please call Mr. Moore!"
- Abigial Ouyang

"I was accused of committing some serious crimes.
I chose Michael Moore to represent me as a defendant in some legal proceedings. It was a complicated circumstance, and he took the time to actually listen to what happened. I was NOT expecting him to do what I've never personally seen a lawyer do before. He cared about my case. It gives me a little bit of hope, at least knowing I have someone who's fighting for me."
- Kyle
