“I used Mr. Oykhman’s services several times in the past 4 years. I had a drug problem and I incurred about 20 various charges, thankfully I did not do any time in jail. Mike was always there when I needed him, his office was excellent for communication and I even remember getting arrested on a Sunday I phoned Mike and he was able to arrange a bail for me.

Mike, I have an extreme amount of gratitude for everything you have done for me and my family. I now have my life back and you are a big reason I am here today.

I recently contacted Mike on behalf of a friend and again Mike went above and beyond to help. I truly think Mike gave me my life back and his knowledge of the court system was incredible. I remember going into court with active warrants and getting released. The best legal representation ever but also a personal touch, Mike really cares and it shows.”

“I was facing a criminal charge as result of a domestic violence incident, contacting Michael put my concerns at ease, and was able to have my charges dropped with no criminal record. If you want to sleep well at night, do not hesitate to contact him, he’s known to be one of the very best around, a “stellar” criminal defence lawyer”

“I’m very thankful I found Michael Oykhman as my lawyer for impaired driving, the provincial court of Okotoks quashed my case right away I got my drivers licenses back and no criminal record on file. Once again thank you for the service you provide to me.”

“Charges from outside of Calgary near Okotoks Michael had helped me through this time with getting both charges dropped. Michael has been very thoughtful and professional throughout the tough times.

Top Lawyer in the Calgary area. Recommended to anyone facing traffic charges.”

“I first contacted Michael after looking him up online in 2013. My life was out of control because of alcohol and poor decisions. I was facing a domestic violence charge, he got the charge completely dropped. In 2015 I got another domestic violence charge and an impaired driving, over .08, and careless driving along with a few other tickets involved in that incident. He got the domestic charge dropped with a peace bond, the impaired, .08 , and all associated tickets dropped as well . I only received a fine for careless driving in all. Again in 2016 I received a refusal to blow on the road side screening device, with other associated charges. I was looking at going to jail. The charges were serious. Including,
Driving while disqualified, Failure to comply with condition of undertaking or recognizance (breach of condition) Failure or refusal to comply with demand (refusal to comply with a demand made) Failure to stop at scene of accident, Failure to stop when pursued by police, and Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. A Plea bargain was made, which avoided a 2 day trial. I plead guilty to Dangerous driving and refusal to provide a breath sample. Michael kept me out of jail, had a large fine dropped, and had the other 4 charges dropped.
I am very grateful for Michael’s dedicated professionalism. He also personally cares for his clients and their life styles. He is very easy to talk to, friendly and understanding of the situation you are in. He has defended me through 2013 to 2016, and is supportive and caring with each and every case. If you want the best defense with assault and impaired charges, I highly recommend Michael Oykhman.”

“Best Criminal Defense Lawyer!
Michael Oykhman kicks ass! He’s got me out of 3 separate jams. We’re 3 for 3 now Michael. First charge – I was blind drunk at the bar and it got it little out of hand. No problem! 2nd charge – A business competitor was mad because I allegedly unloaded his equipment from his trailer to inspect it. Not an issue with Mike. 3rd charge – Supposedly blew a wee bit over the legal limit – All charges dropped! I don’t have a criminal record and it’s because of Michael Oykhman. If you want the same thing, use him. If you want to take your chances, use cousin Vinnie. Thanks Michael. See you on the next round!”

“I was charged with assault for a minor scuffle. I knew I was in good hands with Michael’s solid legal advice and preparation for my pending case. Because of his knowledge, advice and legal expertise, all charges were dropped. Michael and his team take pride in providing not only the right result, but quality customer service along the way. I heartily recommend Michael Oykhman to anyone seeking legal counsel!”

Dylan Finlay was a fantastic lawyer who provided great service from the first consultation meeting to the closing of the case, which yielded a positive result. He demonstrated patience, empathy, kindness and a high level of skill and dedication in handling my case. I would definitely recommend him.

“A Guardian Angel. Michael answered his phone at 10 o’clock at night and he and his associate helped us navigate the intimidating criminal justice system over the next 72 hours. They were available to us 24/7, clearly explained our options at each step and answered all of our questions promptly. It felt like having a guardian angel watching over us. If you have a criminal matter that you need assistance with, this is the man you need to contact. Thank you again Michael and Elizabeth.”

“After being charged with impaired driving, I retained Michael and am extremely pleased with the services he provided. He is very knowledgeable, professional and understanding. Michael kept me up to date about everything that was happening with my case. Within 3 weeks all my charges were dropped. I would highly recommend Michael as a lawyer to anyone!”
