Update: I got charged with single count of felony after hiring Mike to do the pre-filing. I went on representing myself and got the charge dismissed in 5 months. He did honor a full refund.

In retrospect, Mike and his assistant Wendy actually did an excellent job of collecting information and emails from police department or other sources. That left me with WAY MORE information than the prosecutor and allowed me to start the negotiation game with confidence. However, the communication with charging prosecutor was meager and did not point out most issues that may have prevented the charge from being filed in the first place.

The evidence admissible in trial is VERY different from the police reports. I will spare the details here but alone I fought the evidence directly with the trial prosecutor and accepted no offer other than dismissal. Having no defense attorney in between, I was able to read him extremely well and knew he would not ever be ready for the trial!

It has been an aggravating experience working with Mike and his assistant. I was out of the area most of the time and paid full fees upfront to save hassle, which turned out to be a costly mistake. The team was eager and agreeable in the beginning but the service quality took a nose dive after a few months. His assistant even flat out asked me whether I had a new case when I requested to talk! I spent so much time pushing for responses over email and phone calls that in the end I decided to negotiate a way out of the agreement. In addition, having a broad interest in law, I wasn't totally convinced by the way he assessed the severity of my issues and described various factors that would come to affect my case outcomes.

Mr. Sheehy has always put in the extra mile for me. Originally I was about to work with another law office firm and wanted to see what other options I had so I went and interviewed with Michael. 2 minutes in and I was convinced that I’d be in better hands with Michael. It was a challenging case and he was commited and confident to get it done. Also had better pricing too!!! Now few months later here we are and I received the best outcome anyone could ask for! Should’ve been in jail and with crazy fines. Now here we are with no fines and no jail time. Truly a shocking outcome. Never going to anyone else.

Oh and his assistant is the nicest lady ever! She would always remind you a day or two before that you would have court. This helped so much! Just a great team overall!!!

I definitely recommend using Michael Sheehy, he made me feel super comfortable and confident after our first meeting and knew instantly I wanted him to represent me in court. I have never been in trouble so this was my first time needing a lawyer. I am very happy with the outcome of the situation, him and the prosecutor was able to come up with a deal before the court date so all we had to do on the day of was get it approved by the judge, went so smoothly and ended up with a super low fine and just had to not get arrested for 6 months and case was dismissed and not on my record! Which was easy seeing that I don’t usually get in trouble like this! So thank you Michael Sheehy I appreciate all that you did for me and I highly recommend him!

Michael Sheehy and his team are an amazing group of people. I was completely stressed out about a criminal charge against me which was an honest mistake on my part. I came to their office for a consultation thinking the worst. They made me feel very comfortable and that I was in good hands. I paid a flat fee which I believe was very reasonable and cheaper than I expected. Michael Told me exactly how the entire process works and what he was going to try to get for me. Everything he said happened and he was able to get me cleared of all charges and back to my life as if nothing ever happened. I can't thank this team enough. Highly recommend Michael Sheehy over anyone else.

As hard as it can be going through the court system Mr. Sheehy made it a little less miserable. He worked hard and diligently on my case which ended up giving us a great resolution to the case. I’m so glad I didn’t hire the first lawyer I went too.

Michael Sheehy helped me get out of some serious jail time. As long as you do your side you can expect Michael to go above and beyond to reduce any problems you are facing. I'd have a hard time hiring any other lawyer going forward thanks to his efforts and bar he has set in his field.

I hired Michael Sheehy to defend me on a weapons charge. Not ever having been arrested, I was unfamiliar with how the system works. Michael explained the process step-by-step in a way that was easy to understand. He was always available to answer questions and took his time to make sure I understood the answers. I received the best possible outcome from his counsel. I 100% recommend Michael Sheehy.

My experience with Michael Sheehy was the exceptional. From the first meeting we had I knew I had made the correct decision in acquiring his services. I had a good case to work on and he delivered the result that I was looking for. Very honest and easy to talk to and I would recommend to anyone his service.

I had to resort to contacting Washington State Bar Association to report concerns (which the office called frivolous, of course). I was advised to file an ineffective counsel claim based on the content of my grievance instead but then he quickly refunded my retainer. (I couldn’t have done anything wrong because I didn’t make money off from it defense?) Before that, even my email inbox could summarize how many reminders it took on average over past 8 months to get a response! The hours of legal attention were actually low (2 court appointments, first one was 10 minutes; a few emails and phone calls he did on my behalf). It was more stressful dealing with his office than dealing with the cases themselves.

P.S. I am representing myself on a case he previously handled. Mike's claim (we will get very busy) didn't happen. First a few court dates are very routinely administrative. My case will be dismissed more easily than Jeffrey Epstein's (for different reason; no one will be dead here) and nothing like a behemoth that Mike predicted to make his sell.

Mike was a pleasure to work with. He explained the process clearly and let me know what to expect, as well as breaking down the scenarios of potential outcomes. Following his advice allowed us to be pro-active throughout the process and ultimately achieve the most favorable outcome. It was a very positive experience and I would most definitely recommend Michael for your legal needs.

Michael Sheehy always put me at ease when he discussed my case with me. I felt like he knew all aspects of criminal law and took time to explain what to expect on my day in court. He's confident, honest and very personable, making me feel like a family member who found himself needing serious legal help. Major kudos to Wendy who is at his side answering emails and calls immediately, I never felt like I'm not as important as other clients. I highly recommend attorney Michael P. Sheehy to handle your case.

Mr. Sheehy was very professional and collected when it came to my DUI. Sheehy and his team managed to dig into the police report and knew the DUI process quite well, I was in good hands. Thankfully he managed to reduce the charge into a MIP after 5 court dates.

We chose to go with Mr. Sheehy after reading all the wonderful reviews and endorsements about him. I am not disappointed with that choice at all. He helped us achieve the best possible outcome of the situation. I also appreciated his assistant Wendy. She was incredibly helpful and a joy to interact with as well. I would definitely recommend hiring Mr. Sheehy for anyone looking for a reliable, professional lawyer.

Michael P Sheehy changed my DUI case from Reckless driving to negligent driving with $400 court fines. He was highly recommended by my cousin who was also helped in his divorce case. He is very knowledgable and easy to work with. I am so happy he was able to give me my freedom back. Thank you so much Michael P Sheehy

Michael has represented me on 3 cases and each time his attention to detail and personal touches really impressed me. In two of the cases he was able to keep the charges off my record and for the third I felt confident he did all he could to minimize the impact on my life. As a former prosecutor himself, he understands how that side works and he has personal relationships with many of the local prosecutor's offices. I saw first hand how this helped on multiple occasions. It was also apparent that Mike studies up on the latest legal trends and info and is very knowledgeable on a wide range of topics including DUI laws, marijuana laws, etc.. I have zero reservations recommending Mike and would trust him with my future again in a heartbeat.

I was referred to Mike by another lawyer who spoke highly about him and his skills. After my consultation, I felt secure that Mike would try his best to reach an end result that would work best for myself and my family. He definitely delivered! I had a difficult case to defend, but he worked hard and looked outside the box to help me get the best result. His office staff, Wendy, is absolutely the sweetest person who is willing to work hard to help out the offices' clients. I highly recommend seeking counsel from Mike!

Michael is a very knowledgeable defense lawyer in regards to what the prosecuting attorney may or may not seek to charge. I was very unsure until I seeked Michael's services and it made my future more secure and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone going through domestic violence as I did and I'm certain his firm's exceptional customer service extends to all cases and matters that he deals with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I referred my boyfriend to Michael when he got into a mess with a hit and run charge. Michael was able to get the case dismissed which is what we were hoping for. We're very thankful for Michael, things would have gotten much worse if we didn't have Michael's help. I recommend him to anyone that needs any legal help! He's an awesome lawyer!!

I was referred to Mike by another lawyer, ANOTHER LAWYER! Who wouldn't jump at that opportunity when another professional in his trade recommends him. Mike took my civil case on short notice, and worked incredibly hard on my extremely abnormal case. When my court date arrived Mike was extremely prepared and presented an excellent case to refute any and all evidence that my accuser had claimed I committed. I would recommend Mike as lawyer to any of my friends!

My son got himself into a situation that could have had lnegative consequences for the rest of his life. We me with Michael and discussed the situation and the charges. Michael was able to quickly appraise the situation and developed a strategy with alternatives. This was very reassuring. With the strategy and a solid knowledge of the justice system he was able to negotiate a solution that was a win-win for all. The charges were dropped.

I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone who has a need for an attorney. He has the skills, knowledge of the system, positive working relationships within the system, experience and negotiation abilities to delver the best solution and results.

I had a DUI citation with a blood alcohol reading well over the limit, and Michael was very professional about making a deal with prosecution to have the dui charge dropped to a reckless operation. Extremely pleased with the results, and definitely will be referring Mr. Sheehy to anyone that needs a good lawyer!

I had being arrested for DV4 and couldn't believe how serious it was, especially in Washington State. I researched the criminal law enough to see that my future was at stake. Being without experience in the legal system, I became distraught and very afraid of my future. So I found Michael Sheehy via his website...read testimonials from other clients, and made an appointment with him. Mr. Sheehy was very personable, genuinely understanding of my situation and concerns, as well as immediately gave me the facts of what I would be going through, and what could happen in court. After constant contact and discussing the details regarding my case, his continual contact with the prosecuting attorney, it was time to appear in court. Michael Sheehy acquired a continuance as to better prepare my case, and after 5 months of preparation, we appeared in court, prepared with alternatives, and he won a "Dismissal Without Prejudice" verdict for me!

I am so very grateful to Michael Sheehy and recommend anyone involved in criminal defense to contact Michael Sheehy! He is professional, responsive, understanding and knowledgeable of both sides of the law. If I should ever need representation again, there is no doubt I would call Michael Sheehy.

Mike Sheehy worked with me on two cases involving my son Chris. In both cases he was extremely professional and worked hard to make sure both my son and I were completely informed every step of the way. I'm extremely proud to know Mike Sheehy and hope that he is available in the future whenever I might have a need for a lawyer. Mike is a lawyer in the United States Air Force Reserves and if you're a military veteran like me it makes you feel great to hire him knowing he understands you better. I would love anyone interested in hiring Mike to think about this statement: "If you want one of the best lawyers in the United States of America representing your interests than hire Michael P. Sheehy."

I was facing charges of a DUI in which I had tested at more than twice the legal limit, and a "failure to stop and give information" charge. This was my first offense, but due to the nature of the charges, it wasn't looking too good for me. I had also heard from many sources that the judge was notoriously strict. I decided to hire Michael Sheehy after reading some reviews online and attending a free consultation. His fees were very reasonable and I liked his demeanor. I felt I could trust him. It turned out to be a very good choice. I was offered a two-year deferment with the conditions being very minimal. The "failure to stop" charge was dropped completely and the DUI reduced to a Reckless Endangerment upon meeting the conditions set forth in the judgement. After two years, his office contacted me to remind me of my upcoming court date and Michael actually showed up for the court date. I was very impressed by this as he was certainly not obligated to do so. His secretary, Bobbi, is extremely helpful, friendly, and available and a real pleasure to work with. I would recommend this team to anyone who is facing a DUI.

Mr. Sheehy was everything I expected from a lawyer, honest, friendly and professional. Every time I visited his office he made me feel like a person rather than just another case. He was up front with me on what to expect. he never made me feel like he was looking down on me for my past troubles.
I was very pleased with the overall service he and his staff provided me and would recommend to a friend.

I’m one of those people that thought it would never happen to me, but it did. Unfortunately I was faced with a DUI charge two years ago that could potentially ruin my career. With no prior offences, I was seeking a lawyer to help me with my case. After speaking with several different lawyers and reading countless reviews online, I chose Michael Sheehy. Honestly, this was the best decision I have ever made in my life. Michael and his team made me feel comfortable and confident that they could handle my case and save my future. He kept me informed every step of the way and his assistant Bobbi is the most caring person you will ever meet. Not only did Michael get my DUI reduced to a Negligent Driving ticket and save my career, but I referred my best friend who was recently faced with the same charges and Michael was able to get his charges reduced as well. I was completely satisfied with Michael and his team and would recommend him to anyone who is faced with the same charges. I am so lucky to have found such an amazing lawyer that could help me out of such a scary situation. Seriously, call him for a free consultation. Best decision I’ve ever made!
