About Brian

Brian Michaels is a career trial lawyer having spent his entire legal career trying criminal cases both as a top Los Angeles Prosecutor and in private practice as a successful defense attorney. Mr. Michaels trained to be a courtroom advocate with the Los Angeles City Attorney where he tried over 75 Criminal and Civil Jury trials to completion and settled hundreds if not thousands of other cases. Mr. Michaels training, experience and contacts which established him as a top prosecutor prior to setting out as a defense lawyer make him unique against his peers, most of whom set out on their own with little or no formal trial training. We offer fair fees with reasonable payment plans available to qualified new clients in addition to a one time free 45 minute phone consultation. We are not a mill and you will be dealing directly with attorney Michaels. Mr. Michaels has offices in West Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Newport Beach and Palm Springs.
