We have had the pleasure of working with Chuck Michaels throughout the past 25 years.
Chuck’s factual and legal analysis, legal reasoning, framing of issues, and command of written English is exceptional. We credit him with being a legal pillar of strength, whether joining in consultation, or providing critical legal research, or in any aspect of legal writing.
Stylistically, he rewards us with his intelligence and clarity at every stage of a case.
Whether evaluating the sustainability of a cause of action, or in motions, or briefs, he has worked with us every step of the way, in state and federal trial courts, state and federal appellate courts, and in petitioning the United States Supreme Court.

Working with Charles Michaels was a welcome pleasure. The rigors of implementing an appellate strategy is arduous, and having someone like Mr. Michaels who absorbed the details of a complex case helped tremendously. He assembled a record extract that was over 500 pages
and wrote cogent briefs for me, thankfully. I highly recommend his services.

Charles “Chuck” Michaels came highly referred to me by DC Counsel Press as an expert in appellate litigation. I had the opportunity to consult with Chuck on a novel civil litigation case regarding the merits and process of an appeal.
Chuck was retained to write the appeals briefs and assist with oral argument. After a review of the record, Chuck was able to quickly identify the significant appealable issues, even without having practiced in that particular area of law. Chuck himself prepared a two-volume record extract that exceeded 1,000 pages, with transcripts from an extensive court trial, and numerous pleadings and trial exhibits.
Chuck prepared briefs that were meticulous and compelling. Chuck’s expertise was also instrumental in the presentation of oral argument and highlighting the major points for the court.
With Chuck, the appeals process was smooth and stress-free as he is very familiar with appellate rules and procedures. Chuck’s work is top-notch! I highly recommend him for appellate litigation services.

To my amazement, he was able to jump right into my case and understood everything involving my case. He read and analyzed my entire case docket. Mr. Michaels has a very strong eye for details, and he is a great writer. He has superior research skills that was very beneficial to finding supporting case law for my case.
Mr. Michaels was extremely knowledgeable with handling my appeal. He was helpful and courteous throughout the entire appeal process. Whenever I had questions, my emails and phone calls were promptly returned.
In conclusion, if I ever needed another attorney again, I would hire Mr. Michaels as my attorney.

My name is Chuck Blessing and I have called upon C. William Michaels multiple times while achieving my desired results at the Court of Special Appeals. I am posting another recommendation regarding his services.
His ability to read mountains of pleadings, transcripts, depositions and exhibits while understanding every detail and nuance is remarkable.
You just need to point him toward the big picture issues and he will cite such while proving such with a ton of evidence, case law and legal code. Don’t fear an appeal with him as no one is less qualified than me but I was very successful with his appellate consultation.
