Awesome service
I am a forensic psychologist, and I’ve worked with lots of lawyers-lots of ‘em. I have worked on a number of cases with Mr. Mickelson and have come to know him and his work very well. First, he is one of the brightest, most thoughtful, creative, and incisive thinkers I know. He is a quick study who readily absorbs scientifically technical information, quickly grasps its implications, and how it could be helpful to his client. Second, I am not a lawyer, but I see lots of lawyers in the courtroom. As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Mickelson should teach trial tactics. He has ability to precisely focus on the most relevant issues and get them into evidence. Furthermore, he is very good at making the trial about the facts, his client, and not him. Few do this as well as he does. Working with him is a pleasure not just because he appreciates my work, but because it is intensely gratifying to have the opportunity to work with such a good lawyer. I will work for him anytime he asks me, and if I or someone I knew needed a criminal lawyer, he would be at the top of my list.
Mr. Michelsen is either really on or really off. His ADD prevents him at times to stay on subject or task. He is lost as a goose in the trial court room and has little to nothing to offer in terms of appelate abilities. He is not consistent with what he says and will deny things that he has said earlier that do not coincide what he currently says. He just cannot be trusted to have the clients best interest at heart. He will lead you down a path to jail time if he represents you in trial. He will have little to nothing to offer as an appelate attorney. We trusted him to have my best interest at heart and he used it to get me shipped off to jail and out of his hair by deceiving me!
Mr. MICKELSON did an extraordinary job when he helped my friend get released from Lee Sterret on some made up charges the police put on him, very diligent, professional, always keeping in touch my friend and being true to his word.
We have our life back! Our son was accused of a crime he did not commit. Through the dedication and hard work of Mr. Mickelsen, our son was found Not Guilty. Mr. Mickelsen will forever be in our hearts with tremendous gratitude. If you are accused of something, you will be best represented and served by Broden, Mickelsen.
