Worst mistake ever made was hiring Andrea. She did not fulfill our contract and kept money she did not earn. Worst then a contractor who would be in jail for what she did. Bar complaints will follow this review. She stole over 5 thousand dollars! Her depositions were horrible, and her courtroom knowledge was lacking. Because of her lack of filing motions my brother had to sit an extra 10 days to wait for a bond hearing. She just wants easy money, and when she realizes you are smarter then her she will stop talking to you. Worst lawyer ever even the polk county public defenders office got a better outcome. We lost a dog and 20k in dirt bikes due to her refusal to honor her contract!

In December, I was facing a very serious legal charge and reached out to several attorneys for guidance. Andrea was the first to respond personally, rather than through an assistant, which immediately made me feel respected, supported, and confident in her representation. That personal connection played a significant role in my decision to retain her. Andrea took the time to clearly explain each step of the process, including the potential outcomes and what was reasonable to expect. She was thorough, transparent, and consistently communicative throughout my case. The matter was resolved in a timely manner, allowing me to move forward and return to my normal life. I am extremely grateful for her professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking legal representation. 10/10.

I had a gun-related legal issue and was looking for the right attorney to represent me. After reading the reviews for DeMichael Law, I decided to give her a call, and I’m very glad I did. She took the time to answer every question I had and immediately exuded confidence when discussing the situation we were facing. That alone made me feel reassured that I was in good hands. She worked hard on my case and was able to secure a great plea bargain — honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. The results allowed me to move forward with my life and return to living normally, which meant everything to me. Throughout the entire process, she was always available to address any questions or concerns I had. She never made me feel like I was bothering her, unlike other lawyers who can become annoyed with their clients. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication truly stood out. I highly recommend DeMichael Law if you are looking for strong, reliable legal representation. She is absolutely the attorney you want on your side.

I contacted Andrea DeMichael to represent my niece on an underage sale of alcohol. Andrea met with Rebecca ( my niece) and I and ask questions and advised us of our choices and alternatives in this case. First thing I appreciated about Andrea she never made us feel obligated to hire her. After reviewing our choices we decided to hire Andrea and proceeded with the cost and what she could do for us. Actually the what she could do for us was turned around to what would you like as end result in this case. We told her we would like a diversion program and she responded with then that’s we will do. Again no promises were made and all paperwork and waivers were presented in very timely manner. Communication with Andrea was always on time and available. Before you know it the court date is here and a diversion program is the result. I will tell you Rebecca was a mother of 4 and pregnant with her 5th during this time and being able to win this charge with a diversion program was a win win for her as well as her family. Rebecca has reflected on this charge (of being in convenience store cashier and one time of not carding a patron) as time to put family first and change careers as life is too short. Rebecca was very grateful for Andrea and her services and how she always felt Andrea was very personable, professional, honest, all the while never leaving us to feel we were defeated, a bother, or anything less than special to her. If you have ever just gone to the phone book and just picked an attorney then I pray you came out ahead like I did. This was definitely a win for me . This was a first attorney I ever used and will be the only attorney I ever use or recommend.

I was falsely arrested for asking for a search warrant to enter my home. Sheriffs deputies responded to a non-emergency 911 hangup call at the wrong house. I chose DeMichael Law over all others because of their Christian values, character and legal references from a church friend. Andrea DeMichael efficiently and effectively navigated the justice system’s administrative & legal procedures as my defense attorney. DeMichael successfully challenged the false RWOV charge, leading to a complete dismissal. This exoneration has helped me regain my reputation and sleep again. I recommend her to anyone needing a defense lawyer. Great attorney! Randy

I was arrested for trespassing and I reached out to Andrea DeMichael. She gave me a very fair price for representation and did a great job. She ended up getting me a very reasonable plea barging. She was always very professional and easy to communicate with. I would certainly use her help again.

Dealing with a charge leading to 6 months behind bars or close to 2years probation. Thanks to Andrea for her involvement & great communication towards decreasing the probation time to half a year. Due to this being first offense she took away all worries and made Process better than what was expected, highly recommend with no regrets. Unlike some firms she was real patient with information provided and trustworthy

I had received violation of PTR and had a warrant pending for my arrest. I called Andrea’s office, she answered the phone, I did not have to wait for an assistant to reach her. She was very understanding of my situation and was very knowledgeable. I had spoken with a few attorneys prior to her and none of them made me feel the comfortability that she did. It wasn’t a question in my mind that I would go with her. When I chose her, she gave me a number I could reach out to her directly in case of emergency. She was able to get me in front of the judge within a few days and was able to resolve my case without having to do jail time for the situation which I was extremely grateful for. She definitely knew what she was doing and had a seemingly good rapport in the judicial system. 10/10 recommend!! ⭐️

I cannot thank Attorney DeMichael enough for her outstanding legal representation. From start to finish, she took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions promptly, and provided us with the confidence we needed during a stressful time. Thanks to her expertise, we achieved a far better outcome than we ever expected. If you need a dedicated and skilled criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers results, look no further than Attorney DeMichael. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch legal defense!

I want to truly thank DeMichael Law Firm. DeMichael Law firm helped solve my domestic violence case since the day I dial the number and told her my situation. I knew when I seen DeMichael law firm that it was the right choice to make over any law firm in the market. DeMichael law firm made me feel very much comfortable and gave me the confidence to fight my domestic violence case with a peace of mind. Talking about peace of mind, DeMichael law firm solved my case and got it dismissed. I walked away from that courtroom untouched. Solving this case helped me and my family because if I had been convicted, my entire career and my name would have been tarnished and I’m very much grateful for God leading me in the direction to choose DeMichael law firm in handling this case. Huge thank you to DeMichael law firm and I’m lost for words.

Andrea DeMichael helped us with a civil case regarding my daughter, who is a minor. She made our options clear for our understanding, and guided us through every step with expertise and care. With her knowledge and tenacity, she was able to obtain a better than expected outcome for our case. As a result of this my daughter now has a sense of security, and we are incredibly grateful for DeMichael Law.

I was facing a felony and was browsing the internet for local attorneys and came across DeMichael Law. There was more detailed information on her website than anyone else, so I called. Andrea personally called me back. The visit went well, she made me feel comfortable right from the start. She has been extremely patient and understanding with my excessive questions. Her responses are prompt and come from her not a paralegal. Andrea got my case resolved quickly and fairly. I am very grateful that I will not be followed by a felony record for the rest of my life because of her. And I will never look for an attorney if I should ever need one in the future. Andrea will have my business forever. Thank you Andrea, you're the best!

I cannot say enough good things about Andrea DeMichael and what she did for us. The first several attorneys I consulted with gave me little to no hope in getting a favorable result. After listening to all the parts of our legal issue, Andrea laid out her plan and how she would approach the case, and that is exactly what she did. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and really made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Going into this, it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now we are on the other side and the resolution was better than we could have hoped for. I can say with confidence that there is no one who could have done a better job representing us. The impact that this will have on our lives goes far beyond what I could put into words. We are incredibly grateful and fortunate to have found Andrea.

I was in a county jail feeling like wasn't being heard. I was unlawfully detained and after putting faith in my public defender and the state attorney's to figure out my problem I got in contact with Demichael law and they were able to get me released within 48 hours of contacting them. I chose Demichael law because in the first ten minutes of the call they saw the problem and took it very seriously. Contacting them gave me the ability to get out of county jail quickly allowing me to continue with my life faster than I would have been able to without their help. Even once I got out they were able to point me in the right direction of where to go with these false charges. The communication was prompt and very helpful. I am very appreciative for their swift help.

I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason. After going through several consultations I decided to check google one last time. I came across the DeMichael Law Group and I felt comfortable immediately even despite me calling minutes before their office closed. Andrea made me feel heard and the icing on the cake was how knowledgable she was with every aspect of my case. Andrea and her assistant Michelle was always available to answer the many questions I had. Some of them were just me having anxiety about the entire case and the possible results. They never made me feel like my questions and concerns weren't valid. I am now and have been for awhile a single mother and this was the first time I have ever been in this situation. My main concern was the possible outcomes and how they could affect my ability to take care of my children. I could go on and on but to sum it up my case resulted in me not being charged at all and the case was closed. I believe the legal term was "No Bill". Having Andrea explain what this meant for me was more than I could put into words. Even writing this review I don't feel is enough to show how grateful I am to her. If you are taking the time to read this review then look no further. Take it from someone who read every comment, checked credentials, and listed to my gut. If you're looking for a honest, empathetic, knowledgeable, or just someone who will actually listen to you the DeMichael Law group (Andrea & Michelle) is all that and much more. Words cant express my gratitude! I hope I'm never in this position again, but if I am I know exactly who I'm calling!

I reached out to attorney Andrea deMichael a couple days ago, because I am facing a pretty serious charge, I can’t express enough how much she already has helped me and already done stuff for me, despite not even paying her a dollar yet, she’s very thorough and she likes to get all the facts, as well as always answering all my questions to help reduce the stress of my worrying. Her prices are very reasonable as well, especially for how good of attorney she is!

DeMichael Law was AMAZING. I was having trouble getting my contract from my boss. Attorney Andrea DeMichael understood immediately my trouble. She was very eager to learn more about said contract and she didn't miss any details when it came down to trying to find the solution. With her help I was able to get my contract. Michelle and Andrea are very understanding, very sweet. They stay in contact with you and I don't think I could have found anyone better than DeMichael law to help me with my situation. DeMichael Law is the firm to go to when you need people who check everything and people to help get what you need done quickly and with reason!
