My experience with Mike Culp was absolutely top notch! He initially answered my call while on vacation and dealt with my situation immediately. He was clear and communicative with me throughout the entire process of my legal needs. He genuinely cared about the outcome of my case and went above and beyond. I ran in to a snag one day when I thought all things were said and done, and only one phone call later to Mike, and he had it all taken care of. I highly recommend using his services as I am so thankful I did!

I met Mike over 20 years ago. He impressed me back then by his professionalism, empathy, knowledge and results. After all this time, I recently reached out to him regarding a new issue I encountered. I was amazed that he called me back right away, and after hours simply because he ?remembered my name and voice?! Unbelievable!! While he wasn?t able to help me this time, he pointed me to someone who could and we are well on our way to having the issue resolved. Mike is a class act all the way! I highly recommend him to take care of your legal needs.

I would highly Recommend Michael as a lawyer. he was very through with my case and helped me to get an amazing plea deal. I thought i would be facing significant jail time for my OWI 2nd and he was able to get my sentence down to only 2 days jail time. I am extremely grateful and happy with the outcome of my case! I would recommend Michael to anyone going threw a rough patch in the road for the best outcome!

Highly professional and very attentive to my concerns and questions. Fortunately, I haven?t had a need for an Attorney very many times in my life. I must say that my experience with Mr. Dorn was positive and he had a genuine concern for my situation.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
