Michael Judge is a very smart and experienced attorney. He does not take the cookie cutter approach to any of his cases as most attorneys would. He took the time to analyze my unique set of circumstances and was able to execute a well thought out plan that greatly exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for being well served by this attorney and would definitely recommend him to anyone.

If you are looking for a legitimate defense attorney, looking out for the best interest for his client, then Michael Judge is the man for you. I could not be any happier with how he performed, came fully equipped with guns blazing, by that I mean he puts up a fight that is NOT easily matched. Not only does he do his job he actually cares for his client and helps out in any way shape or form. He does not lie or mislead you in any direction. I can honestly say Michael is the most straight forward attorney, tells you the worst outcome you could potentially face and gives you the best outcome. When he represented my case, the outcome was supposed to have been really bad but he came thru for me and got the best possible outcome. Not only will Michael do the job to surpass your liking, he is also affordable. Bottom line Michael C Judge is the perfect man for the job.

Michael Judge helped me through a tough process. I had never been arrested and had no past experience with the court system. His knowledge and experience with the different judges were unmatched. He guided me to make the right decision for my case.
- Frank
Hiring Mr. Judge was the best move I have ever made. Right from the start he was honest, straight forward and available. He fought for me with passion and made me feel like I was not alone during my tough time. I 100% recommended Michael Judge. He strives for the best result and obtained that result. He also walked me through step by step about our process and never left me in the dark. Don't think twice about it, Michael Judge is the lawyer for you.
- Rich
From all the reviews I have read about Mike Judge I cannot agree more with them. These are not Misrepresentations, I am an actual client with a DUI charge that counselor Judge represented. Not only is he "Honest, Diligent &, Meticulous" he was well versed from the start on how to approach my predicament. Also, I could not believe how Well Respected the man is with the RI court system, we had to move my case to another court, and even with that change of venue the court had no problems on accepting Mike's recommendations on my behalf. He went Up and Beyond the Call of Duty on my case and I can't thank him enough on that pursuit. All in all it was the best "800" number I ever called and somebody up there must like me because I got connected to Councilor Michael Judge.
- Mike F.
Michael is not only an accomplished lawyer very informative as well as a fair guy. Can't go wrong with Michael. Wonderful experience dealing with Michael. Highly recommend him
- Tim
As a client I would definitely recommend Michael Judge: because he never disappointed me working with my case. Even though I did not know him at first, he said he would do everything he needed to to defend me and because of that I am thankful.
- Nelson
EXCELLENT Attorney!! Highly recommended!! Michael Judge helped me out with my extremely difficult case and I was highly satisfied with the results that were obtained!! He has many years of experience and will fight for you in the best way possible!! What I liked about Michael Judge is that he is very honest, diligent, meticulous, highly experienced, and will guide you in the best direction possible. If Michael Judge is unable to help you with your case, no other attorney can!!

I was a student in college and had no idea what to do, but Mr. Judge was able to buy me time in court and explained to me what his plans were and what I had to do to help him. He was able to convince a judge, who was elected on a platform of being harsher on domestic violence charges, to lower a probation ruling to a nolo/filing. I saw with my own eyes how passionately he had argued for me. It was a hopeless case with more than enough evidence to convict me harshly, the only mercy factor being my age and "first-time-offender" status. He is more than a great lawyer, he is a great man.
