At the law firm of Michael J. Griffith, P.A., we represent individuals, not government or big business. Our attorneys put the gloves on for clients in Pensacola and throughout the Southeast who have been arrested or injured in an accident, and we provide knowledgeable advice and advocacy to those dealing with divorce and child-related issues.
Whether this is your first or fourth offense, we're willing to bet that you would rather not go at it alone. Going to court to defend yourself is a scary proposition. It is the prosecutor's job to convict you, and he or she will have all of the incentive, tools, and resources necessary to obtain a verdict against you.
Many people are surprised to learn that you actually face two separate cases following an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI). The first case culminates in an administrative hearing during which the DMV will decide whether or not to suspend your license. This requires your attention just days after your arrest.
Many drug-related crimes can be charged at both the state and federal levels. Federal drug charges are typically considered more serious; however, convictions for both types of drug crimes can lead to substantial prison sentences, heavy fines, and other long-term consequences. As a result, if you are facing drug charges at either level, you need experienced legal representation.

Michael J Griffith is a highly knowledgeable attorney that knows how to deal with the bureaucratic legal system, not to mention the maze of confusion that confronts anyone dealing with our judicial system. He took a seemingly impossible case and turned it into a Best Case Scenario. Dealing with the court system is a nightmare. I am thankful for his expertise, and professionalism through this whole ordeal. He never stopped fighting for my son. I would highly recommend his legal services. Thank you again, Michael.

Amazing professional service. I would not hesitate to highly recommend to anyone. The time and effort expended on my situation was extraordinary. And it would be remiss of me to not mention that Mr Griffith also employs the absolute best legal assistant I have ever encountered in my life. Thank You !

Edited 6/12/21 Still the best, even during COVID!
I edited this comment because I have referred multiple people to Mr. Griffith and none of them have been disappointed and that still stands right now! I had a couple of my really good friends in a pinch with one of their children and they had no idea who to call. I suggested Mr. Griffith and they were trying to send a message on his website but decided to call instead. They figured, we can leave a message and they will call us back....guess who answered the phone himself...Mr. Griffith. Even after hours, he answered and scheduled an appointment

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.

We sought counsel ftom Attorney Michael Griffith for a child support matter and we found him to be very experienced. He was easy to talk to and really cared about our concerns. We like the way he took time to analyze our documents before giving us very comprehensive advice that was extremely helpful to us. We highly recommend this gentleman. He is a rare find.

The staff is excellent. Mr. Griffith and his staff will make sure you are taken care of promptly, professionally, and will answer any questions you have and make sure you feel comfortable. I’ve called in twice and after dealing with his front office, Mr. Griffith actually took the time and returned both of my calls rather quickly for a man as busy as he is. Him and his employees are legit!

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.

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
