  • So thankful that I found Mr. Oykhman

    5.00 / 5

    “Earlier this year I found myself in a terrifying position. As an American charged with arefusal to provide a breath sample to an officer of the RCMP I desperately needed help navigating the Canadianjustice system. I quickly learned that a conviction would lead to my immigration status being changed toinadmissible to Canada, a country where I spent more than ten years working. A customer of mine insisted I callMichael Oykhman. From my first conversation with Michael that same day I began to see my situation was not hopelessand I had options. Over the next six months Michael worked diligently and professionally on my defense. When I metMichael in person he gave me and my case 100% of his attention and time. Through his hard work and experienceMichael was able to make an agreement with the prosecutor that allowed me to continue to work in Canada andtherefore keep my job. I never thought I would ever find myself in a position where I would need a criminal defenselawyer. So thankful that I found Mr. Oykhman. I strongly recommend his services.”

  • I will forever remain indebted to his kindness and professionalism

    5.00 / 5

    “Everyone experiences moments of despair where there seems to be little or no options. Iexperienced one of those moments recently. The economic situation of our province has been difficult to many – afterlosing my house, my job and my lifestyle, I spent 12 months looking for work. I eventually began to sell anypersonal property that had some value, then found myself at the end of my capacity to borrow… a long and painfulfall from a prestigious management consulting lifestyle to sharing a bathroom with 3 low-income roomates. Ireached an all time low when I was faced to the prospect of having no roof over my head. I learned that in the faceof total despair, people can make bad choices. I know did. I called a few criminal lawyers for advice butMichael returned my call almost immediately. He knew from my financial situation I would not be able to retain hisservices, but he took the time to listen, and provided clear, unbiased options that allowed me to recover from mycircumstances. He may never know just how critical that crossroads was for me. I will forever remain indebted to hiskindness and professionalism.”

  • Michael is one of the best Criminal Defence lawyers

    5.00 / 5

    “Michael is one of the best Criminal Defence lawyer’s I have ever had work on my case andone of the finest persons I have ever met. He is swift, sharp and works diligently towards your case and is famousfor getting charges dropped. He is very easily accessible and responds to urgent phone calls, emails and even textmessages – he responded to my emails in real time even after midnight while I’m sure he had court the next morning.I was lucky to have him represent me while I was going through a difficult time in my life and what a breeze offresh air as he got the charges dropped. I had a few questions days after the case was closed and he answered myqueries after closing my file and did not request any compensation for that – unlike many other lawyers in Calgary.Just a nice human being and a through gentleman who genuinely cares about your matter. Money well spent, many thanksMichael, wish you best of luck!”
