"Mr. Griffith is the one to call!"
Mr. Griffith, Cheryl, and their entire team stood by me and fought for me during the two most difficult years of my life. He is compassionate and truly cares about his clients. His ability to pair his vast knowledge of the law with incredible intuition makes him a master of his craft. I will never be able to thank him enough for giving me my life back. If you find yourself in need of someone to fight for you and winning is the only option, Mr. Griffith is the one to call. Trust him, be patient, and don't get discouraged. It is difficult but he can and will make it happen.

"Thank goodness for Michael!"
What a professional!! A young person, for whom I care dearly, made a mistake that could have landed him in prison for five years, with a felony on his record to boot. Needless to say, we were distraught and needed the very best attorney we could find in the Pensacola area...that was Michael Griffith. Michael certainly knows what he is doing and his staff kept me informed all along the way with letters of upcoming court dates and full disclosure of all materials pertaining to the case. He was always available for discussion of the case, either immediately or with a timely returned call. If you're looking for an attorney who fully understands the legal system and how to handle a client's case for the best outcome, that's Michael. In the end, with Michael's skilled negotiations, the felony was reduced to a misdemeanor and the young person was given the option of probation or to serve a short sentence and have no probation. It was a totally unbelievable outcome, considering the result that could have been. Now this young person, who has realized how close he came to ruining his life, still has a chance to be successful with all doors open to him. All I can say is thank goodness for Michael!

"This man works miracles!"
Michael Griffith is by far the best attorney you could get to represent you. He genuinely cares about each and every client he represents and coming from someone that works in the legal profession, know that is something hard to find in an attorney. Trust him and the processes of his office. If you have questions he is only a phone call away and always returns calls within 24 hours. It is truly remarkable to see an attorney care about his clients' futures and well being the way Michael Griffith does. He got me results better than anything I could have ever expected because of the hard work and knowledge his office puts in. If you hire Michael Griffith, do so knowing you have the best possible representation and will get the best possible outcome for your particular case. This man works miracles!

"Amazing work!"
Mr. Griffith is a true monster in the courtroom. Saved my son twice, from ruining his future. He is worth every penny. Believe in what he does. He has your best interest at heart. Just don't call him every five days. He already has your case figured out the first time you are in his office. He just won't tell you because, he doesn't want you messing it up. Just listen to him, show up to court, and enjoy the show. Wish you could live forever brother. The work you do is amazing. Thanks again Mr. Griffith.

"Absolutely amazing!"
Mr. Griffith was absolutely amazing and one of the sweetest, most professional people I have met in Pensacola. I was charged with a felony and Mr. Griffith helped me get my felony completely dropped from my record. He is very personal and treats you like a human being rather than just another client who has made a mistake. I DEFINITELY RECOMEND Micheal J. Griffith!

- Lauren
"Worth every penny!"
Great, experienced attorney. Delivered beyond our expectations and saved our son by getting him a second chance. Worth every penny! We visited other so called criminal attorneys who just gave us lip service and wanted the cash. We highly recommend Mr. Griffith.

"He went above and beyond for me!"
Michael Griffith is hands down the best attorney. I had traveled to Pensacola from out of state and unfortunately got into some legal trouble. I was able to reach attorney Griffith on a Sunday and get in to see him the following Monday. He went above and beyond for me, stayed in touch with me as I had to return to my home state. He was constantly updating me and always asking if I had any questions. He fought hard on my case and the outcome was far better than I expected.

- Amanda
"Had my best interest in mind."
I've used this attorney for years and I always feel that he has my best interest in mind at all times and the complete staff is professional and polite.
