If one pleads guilty or is found guilty after trial, the case is set for sentencing. The various options that are available for sentencing are as unique as the individuals and the cases. It would, therefore, be too numerous to list every option that one could raise. However, in every case, a person is referred to the probation office where a probation officer investigates the case and makes a recommendation to the judge as to an appropriate sentence.
Dear Michael,
Wow. When I first met you I was 20 years old and scared to death. A drug addict behind bars and pregnant isn’t where I thought I’d ever end up. That was 8 years ago. You’re an amazing person and an awesome attorney and I’m lucky to have had you defending me. What you were able to do for me was give me another chance at life. You helped me to work with the system. Looking back, I couldn’t have done any of it without you. I always recommend you to all my friends. You are, by far, one of the best attorneys out there, and a great person too!
Thank You!!
– Christina D.
Dear Michael:
Today’s result was outstanding! Thank you for your fine work! I will certainly recommend you should the need arise.
Very truly yours,
– Anthony P.
We are so grateful for your help. Your talents as an attorney and your sensitivity to people mean the world when trouble strikes – D.B
Dear Michael:
It’s taken a lot longer to write this letter than I had planned, it’s just been hard to express my feelings in a few short words. You have taken a most difficult situation with my daughter and made the most of it.
You have never made any false promises or painted any picture of anything but the reality of the situation. The relationships you have forged with people in the “system,” along with your professional manner, has been invaluable in creating what appears to be a win-win conclusion for all parties.
This letter may, at your option, serve as a letter of recommendation for your services. Once again, thank you for all of your help.
Sincerely,
– Dan D.
Dear Michael:
I wanted to thank you for all of your help with my two cases and my law school application process. You wrote some very kind words on my behalf and for that I am forever grateful! I promise you that I will live up to everything you wrote in the letter! I only hope that some day I will be in the same position to help another young aspiring law student! Thank you again for all of your help and understanding.
Sincerely,
– David P.
Dear Michael:

All the best to you and your family now and always,

Michael, I just wanted to thank you again for representing me for the duration of my case. I am extremely pleased that your hard work and expertise in these matters afforded me the best outcome, given the situation that I was facing. This incident was unfortunate for all involved and has given me great incentive to live a life that will not affect others in such a negative way.
I hope you and your family have a safe and memorable holiday season.

Dear Michael:
Your help in this time of great need was immeasurable. The kind, reassuring words and tone you shared with my wife were so timely and appreciated. You were correct in that this was indeed a very difficult time for our family.
Michael, your assistance in this matter will never be forgotten. I am forever grateful. After spending the night and next day in custody, wrongly arrested, I can tell you that coming home to my wife and family was the greatest gift, this side of heaven. You will always hold a special place in the hearts of me and my family. Now I know a good defense attorney, and should someone ask, I’ve got just the man. Thank you again, and may God richly bless you and your family.
Sincerely, – L.B.

Dear Michael:
I apologize for not contacting you until now. But, I feel like this needs to be said and I want to personally thank you for all your hard work in representing me. I would also like to thank your staff for assisting me in receiving a “good deal” from the government.
I was more than satisfied with your representation and greatly appreciate the assistance that you and all your staff provided. If ever I need legal assistance again, I would not hesitate to contact your office. If anyone ever asks me if I know a good attorney, I will recommend you to them. You have a very professional staff that always assisted me whenever I had any questions. I would also like to offer any testimonial that you may wish to use in your practice extolling your abilities, expertise and work ethic!
Sincerely,
– Michael S.

Dear Michael:
Thank you so very, very much for handling Dan’s recent court case. your kindness and generosity were appreciated far more than I can adequately express. Believe me, minor as these charges were in many respects, they felt far more serious when they involved my son! Knowing you were there to see him through the process eased my worries substantially.
Sincerely,
– Pamela S.
Dear Michael:
It’s been a while, but I still don’t know how to put in words to describe how thankful I am. Thank you for being so confident. Thank you for being kind. Thank you for being supportive and caring. Thank you for all the time and efforts you devoted. And, most importantly, thank you for having a good heart and integrity!
Thank you.
– Ruby K.
Dear Mr. Berg
I want to personally thank you for your dedicated service to the San Diego County Bar Association Lawyer Referral and Information Service. Of over four hundred (400) attorneys affiliated with LRIS, you were only one of twenty eight (28) to receive glowing compliments from a client that was referred to you!
Thank you very much for your commitment to excellence and your service to your clients!
Regards,
– Scott F.
Dear Michael:
Thank you so much for handling this situation for Nathan. Your kindness and professionalism helped us relax with all of this. It is always hard as a parent to deal with your children’s misadventures. I guess disappointment in our own parenting as well as our son’s judgment comes into play.
I realize that you deal with much more serious situations, but we really do appreciate your efforts on Nathan’s behalf.
It is a relief to know that his goal of becoming a teacher will not be compromised.
Again, our thanks.
– Shiela A.
