    “I first contacted Michael after looking him up online in 2013. My life was out of controlbecause of alcohol and poor decisions. I was facing a domestic violence charge, he got the charge completelydropped. In 2015 I got another domestic violence charge and an impaired driving, over .08, and careless drivingalong with a few other tickets involved in that incident. He got the domestic charge dropped with a peace bond, theimpaired, .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 waslooking 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 ofaccident, Failure to stop when pursued by police, and Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. A Plea bargain wasmade, 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 lifestyles. He is very easy to talk to, friendly and understanding of the situation you are in. He has defended methrough 2013 to 2016, and is supportive and caring with each and every case. If you want the best defense withassault 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 blinddrunk at the bar and it got it little out of hand. No problem! 2nd charge – A business competitor was mad because Iallegedly unloaded his equipment from his trailer to inspect it. Not an issue with Mike. 3rd charge – Supposedlyblew a wee bit over the legal limit – All charges dropped! I don’t have a criminal record and it’s because ofMichael Oykhman. If you want the same thing, use him. If you want to take your chances, use cousin Vinnie. ThanksMichael. See you on the next round!”

  • I am forever indebted to Michael and his team and would recommend himten times over.

    5.00 / 5

    “Mistakes can be made very easily in life and sometimes to stop a giant snowball you justhave to stand in front of it and get hit. I learned a good lesson from a DUI charge this year. Luckily, MichaelOykhman was recommended to me from a good friend. Michael met with me the Sunday after it happened on his day off.He spent ample time with me to learn my case and figure out how to help without judging me for my mishaps. Duringthe next couple days I even met with some other lawyers in town to cover my due diligence, but all of them barelyspent 20 minutes with me. My court date was scheduled far in advanced from my initial charge, but at any time if Ihad questions I just called Mike and he would be there. When I walked into court an emotional wreck, Michael heldthings together for me in a professional manner and calmed me down with his demeanour. Due to Michael’s delivery ofmy case, all charges were dropped within the hour and I walked out a free person with no criminal record. I amforever indebted to Michael and his team and would recommend him ten times over. To anyone reading this, you mayalready be in need of Michael’s services, however, use your story to remind others not to make this same mistake. Iconsider myself very lucky and will take every precaution not to repeat this situation.”

    “Anyone looking for an awesome lawyer needs to contact Michael! I found myself beingpulled over and in a situation where charges for impaired driving were laid. Given what transpired, the outlook ofbeating the charges looked pretty bleak to me. I contacted Michael after the raving reviews I read about him online.He was very accommodating and went out of his way on a Sunday to meet me. He was professional and honest inassessing my side of the story. The solid advice and confidence he gave in this meeting led me to hand my case tohim with zero hesitation or even consulting any other lawyer. I was super impressed with him and his team throughoutthe whole process: I was kept in the loop and up to date, and had any questions I had answered promptly. He had allthe charges dropped with no conditions in advance of the court date! I strongly recommend Michael to anyone whoneeds a great defence lawyer.”

  • I am so glad that I chose him to represent me...

    5.00 / 5

    “In my case, I was involved in an unfortunate situation. I read very good reviews aboutMr. Oykhman. I am so glad that I chose him to represent me and would highly recommend him if you find that you arealso in need of a lawyer. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and client-oriented . Whenever I or my familyhad a question, he was quick to respond in a timely fashion and provide the answers, never were we left “hanging” oruninformed. He calmly guided us through the judicial process with unparalleled expertise. His fees were more thanfair and in fact, much less than I thought they would be. If you are in need of a lawyer, trust the other glowingreviews here seek his representation. Thank you again, Mr. Oykhman! My family and I are so appreciative.”

The end resultexceeded my expectations.Thank you Michael!”
