"Again it's thanks to Michael Oykman and his team. If you read these reviews don't hesitate, make the call. Trust me!"

My charges were a very rough experience to go through and Michael Oykman literally came in and took over. I have dealt with lawyers before but none like this. He was informative with his strategies and delicate and understanding of the situation. Not often you can say that. The results came back with a better outcome then I had even prepared myself for. ALL CHARGES DROPPED! Again it's thanks to Michael Oykman and his team. If you read these reviews don't hesitate, make the call. Trust me!

Michael and his team saved the day. Words cannot describe my gratitude for the role Michael and his team played in the outcome of my case from day one to closing his team was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Michael sure knows how to communicate and negotiate with a calming charm. You may not get daily updates but when Michael schedules a call, you want to jump up and take it.

Moira McAvoy was my lawyer on 2 occasions. She did so well on my first case, that I just KNEW I could depend on her to help me with my second run-in with the law.

"She is amazing and would recommend her and the rest of the firm..."

I have had an IRS Fail given to me by an overzealous police officer, who did not follow procedure. As this would have ruined my life for a long time had I not called Savage/Oykhman criminal defence. Laura Bobyn specifically took my case head on and got my charges canceled altogether. She is amazing and would recommend her and the rest of the firm for any kind of questionable charges you may have. They are 5 star pros.

I worked with Barrister Julia Hunter and was exceedingly pleased at the positive outcome she got for me in my matter. She was very professional, articulate and sought inputs and my feedback in presenting a strong argument to the Judge which led to our application being granted by the Judge.

"I’m extremely grateful I was referred to Kiran Cheema..."

Finding myself in need of legal representation brought me a lot of fear and uncertainty, so I’m extremely grateful I was referred to Kiran Cheema with Oykhman Criminal Defence Law. Kiran patiently walked me through each step in handling the matter before me with both conscientious professionalism, and compassion. I found her to be respectful, insightful and kind. I’m thankful that she achieved the most favourable outcome possible in my case—my charges were entirely withdrawn—and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and her team to anyone in need of trustworthy representation.

"Having Elena Ryland as my lawyer, made a scary situation not as scary."

Having Elena Ryland as my lawyer, made a scary situation not as scary. She was able to draw me out of my negative thinking because she would reassure me that it would bot go down that way. She is honest, up front and always available to answer your questions. You can tell by the way she process information or is up in court that she has a true passion for the law. Her ability inside the court room is remarkable, and you always felt that she was fighting for you. In the end, she got us the verdict that we knew was true and was hoping for. I would highly recommend her and this law firm to handle anyones legal matter.

"I am so thankful that Oykhman Criminal Defence Law..."

If you are in trouble and need a criminal defence attorney, look no further, Moira McAvoy is the lawyer to hire. I am so thankful that Oykhman Criminal Defence Law has such an experienced lawyer under their roster. Without the help from Moira McAvoy, my case would have seen a different resolution, one where the charges weren't dropped, and stuck. The prosecutor might have been happy with that result, but I wouldn't have been. The procescutor doesn't care about you, but Moira McAvoy does! She was there to answer any and all questions that I had, and thanks to her knowledge of the law, I don't have a criminal record. My life can return back to normal. What a breath of fresh air. Call Oykhman Criminal Defence Law and ask for Moira McAvoy. She will be there to answer any questions you have, and to best of all, help you.

"The entire time we worked together..."

I reached out for some legal advice to Savage Oykhman Law with regard to a traffic matter. I left a message and within 5 minutes my call was returned and I was given a lawyer to handle my case, Julia Hunter. She took down my information and said she would represent me which immediately put me at ease. Ms. Hunter kept in regular contact with me while we waited for the court date which had to be postponed twice due to the backlog of cases. The entire time we worked together, she was efficient and professional, kept me informed, and appeared in court so I did not have to go. She was able to mediate the traffic violations and I was gratefully vindicated of a more serious charge and received a much lower fine and minimal demerits. Thank you Julia Hunter for your help and compassion throughout the process.

"I am deeply grateful for having had Kiran Cheema represent me when faced with an IRS: Fail. "

I am deeply grateful for having had Kiran Cheema represent me when faced with an IRS: Fail. There is no way that I would have been able to present the evidence the way she did and because of her I won the review - thanks to her I have my car and licence back! She took the time to gather all the details, the evidence and left no stone unturned - even though it meant working over the Christmas holiday - I can not express my gratitude enough. I definitely recommend hiring Kiran if you unfortunately find yourself in a similar situation. Thanks Kiran and team!

"I found Moira to be extremely professional and efficient."

I found Moira to be extremely professional and efficient. I have an extra challenge of being Deaf, but Moira was very flexible in meeting options and we were able to have many discussions via Zoom. Moira was always a pleasure to deal with and she made sure I understood my options and what the plans were for moving forward. She was good at returning messages and easy to talk with. I found Moira very helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. I could not have asked for a better outcome on my case. Should the need arise in the future, I would not hesitate to contact Moira again for assistance. Thank you Moira and keep up the good work!

"I was able to resolve a traffic issue with the best possible outcome that was likely available to me."

With legal defence from this firm, in particular Julia Hunter, I was able to resolve a traffic issue with the best possible outcome that was likely available to me. They were able to resolve this issue with very short notice, and the fees were more than fair. Julia even reduced the original fee when a speedy resolution was reached. I feel her knowledge and experience enabled her to negotiate with the government prosecutors to resolve the issue without a potentially expensive trial. Her information and total transparency with me was remarkable, as we originally had agreed on a much more substantial fee. Instead, her compassion and understanding for my financial situation saved me over $1000.00 which was more than enough to cover the resulting fine I received. The fine was also lower than expected, and Julia was able to avoid any license suspension for me. I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with her and her firm. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her firm for anyone interested in obtaining legal assistance with criminal or traffic offences.

"I was very fortunate to get GREG JANSEN as a lawyer and couldn’t be more happy"

I can’t thank Julia enough! I was wrongfully charged over a year ago. Never had to deal with the law before scared out of my mind. I called oykhman and was directed to Julia. She was instantly invested in my case. And went to work. She cared about my case my wellbeing and getting my side the truth out there. She coached me through the most difficult time in my life, gave me hope and answered any question I had she always had my best interest. Julia built a defence and executed it flawlessly, so good that the crown ask for the charges to be dismissed and the judge agreed. To Julia and the whole team at oykhman Thank you.

"To anyone reading this, I know life may seem hard during your time but you won't regret your decision to go with this firm. Thank you, Moira so much for everything."

On April 1st 2021 I was arrested and charged with assault with a weapon and dangerous driving. I was immediately scared of losing my job and everything I had worked for (job doesn't employ people with a criminal record) that I thought about suicide as a way out incase the worst case scenario happened. I searched across the city for several different lawyers that could defend me. Lots of lawyers were willing but we're unwilling to work with a payment plan of more than 2 weeks between payments until I met Moira McAvoy. She was an incredible lawyer and helped through every phase of the process from start to end. She was discreet, helpful, respectful of my circumstances and personal choices. Answered all my questions and was always available to phone if I had any questions even after the court proceedings had finished. I ended up getting 18 months probation with monthly reportings to a P.O. through the app. I was allowed to keep my job and continue to live a normal life. I owe her everything and couldn't be happier with my decision to go with this firm. To anyone reading this, I know life may seem hard during your time but you won't regret your decision to go with this firm. Thank you, Moira so much for everything.

Hiring Moira was the best money I've ever spent. I'm so thankful I had her on my side during the most difficult point in my life. She was understanding and empathetic, but also thorough and intuitive in her approach. She demonstrated so much expertise, and I was comfortable having my fate in her hands. I had every confidence in her, and the results were better than I could have imagined. I felt like she had my back every step of the way, and I'm forever grateful for her and the work she put into my case.

"thanks to all of you! And thanks to Julia!"

I had just been arrested and charged for the first and hopefully last time in my life! I was scared and very sad, and Julia immediately helped calm me down and carefully explain everything, she was so helpful with everything from day one, all of them were, very clear and good as well as my English in a stressed situation isn’t the best and they happily explained everything and answered all of my questions, no matter how many emails I’d send it would only be a few hours the most until I got an answer back, I will always be grateful for the support I had in this awful situation I was in. So thanks to all of you! And thanks to Julia!.

"Thanks Kiranpreet Cheema to everyone who is in need of a Criminal Defence Lawyer, she is the best at what she does."

I will start by stating a fact, which is that Kiran is simply the best at what she does. When I ran into some problems, I contacted Micheal and he handed my case to Kiran; this was the best thing that haopened to my case. From the first time I spoke to Kiran, I felt a form of relief because gave me the confidence that all will be well. She told me to relax and go about my daily life activities and leave her to do all the worrying for me. Kiran came through for me and got me the best resolution of my case and I am eternally grateful to her for all her time and effort especially when I didn't have to do anything except to completely trust her; I am happy I did and I have no regrets doing so. Thanks Kiranpreet Cheema to everyone who is in need of a Criminal Defence Lawyer, she is the best at what she does.

"I give five-star rating to the lawyer “Ms. Julia Hunter” from Michael Oykhman Criminal Defence Lawyers. You are amazing!"

I had two criminal charges laid against me by the police. This is the first time in my life I was arrested and so I was totally devastated emotionally, and I had no clue what is going to happen to my life. I thought my life is going to be over and I will lose my job, reputation and loose everything I built over the years. After my arrest, Ms. Julia Hunter was hired as my lawyer for my bail plea. Within few hours after I finished a telephone conversation with Julia, I was out on bail. During the bail plea, the way Julia defended my case was very impressive. During the bail plea, I got so emotional and was almost in tears, and I felt that in the difficult time of mine my lawyer was there to help me with full energy. The amount of preparation she did within few hours for my bail plea was commendable. She got me out with minimum restrictions. As I was out on bail, Julia provided me with all the support required. She was highly responsive for any need I had and was replying quickly for all my questions and doubts. She asked me to do all the preparation and requested required documents from me. Within a month, I got a call from Julia that my charges are officially been withdrawn and Crown will not be proceeding with the matter and all the release conditions are cancelled. The amount of money charged was very reasonable, Julia is full of compassion, and she is very generous. The positive outcome in such a short amount of time (one month) was unbelievable for me. The services offered to me by Julia were exceptional and beyond my imagination. Thank you, Julia, for handling my case, I will always be thankful to you for all your generosity and kindness. I give five-star rating to the lawyer “Ms. Julia Hunter” from Michael Oykhman Criminal Defence Lawyers. You are amazing! Thank you very much!

"I highly recommend Kiran Cheema one of the best Defense lawyer for those who want the best results for their criminal cases."

I highly recommend Kiran Cheema one of the best Defense lawyer for those who want the best results for their criminal cases. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made to choose Kiran Cheema when I was charged with DUI Fail on January 2022 Genuine, Caring, and Professional. I was seeking legal counsel about my DUI case from Kiran Cheema and from the moment I called her I could already tell that her relationships with her clients go far above and beyond industry standards. Within minutes I felt like I was talking to not only an experienced lawyer, but also a close friend and mentor. As she read through my documents, she was quick to explain to me different avenues or points of contention she found and was adamant about hearing my side of the story. Knowing that I was in a really tough spot, she was genuine about setting my expectations accordingly and gave great personal insight to put me at ease. Based on her great communication skills, transparency, empathy, and professionalism, there is no one else I would recommend over Kiran Cheema if you unfortunately find yourself with a DUI charge. Thank you so much for the quick outcome, still can't believe it you saved me. All the best in your future. Brilliant

"I am extremely thankful to Mr. Oykhman and his team’s for their hard work and sincere help in tiding over this very difficult situation"

A few months back I got into an unfortunate road accident due to a fainting episode. The police charged me under Section 320.13(2): Dangerous Driving Causing Bodily Harm. Mr. Oykhman successfully represented me and convinced the prosecutor to withdraw all the charges against me. He was extremely patient and meticulous in explaining the intricacies of the case and provided regular updates/information via mail, phone calls and zoom calls. My family and I had no prior knowledge or experience with the legal system and court procedures and found them very intimidating. Mr. Oykhman and his team made sure we understood each and every step and reassured us throughout the entire ordeal. I am extremely thankful to Mr. Oykhman and his team’s for their hard work and sincere help in tiding over this very difficult situation. I consider it my good fortune to have found them to represent me. Thank you Mr. Oykhman and team!

"Thank you Kiran for your excellent support and for help."

I approached Oykhman to ask for support to defend a speeding ticket I had received; although maybe not the most serious offence someone could commit, it was something that caused me great concern and stress. I was connected to Kiranpreet Cheema who immediately gave me a feeling of confidence that I would receive the strong support I needed. As the case proceeded, Kiran’s calm approach and clear knowledge of the steps that should be systematically followed were spot on and, together with her strong persuasion and negotiation, culminating in an excellent presentation at the court hearing, were instrumental in securing the most positive outcome I could hope for after a few months of sleepless nights and stress. I am really happy that I approached Kiran to represent me. Thank you Kiran for your excellent support and for help.

"Kiranpreet Cheema delivered a flawless victory in appealing my IRS Fail Roadside sanction."

Kiranpreet Cheema delivered a flawless victory in appealing my IRS Fail Roadside sanction. I decided to fight the IRS roadside sanctions within the very short 7-day window SafeRoads Alberta give you to appeal. I hired Oykhman for the initial review, and subsequently Kiranpreet Cheema for the written submission. I was very impressed with their tenacity in reviewing all of the disclosure and building a strong defence for me. I really thought I had no chance, I was desperate, anxious and stressed out. With their incredibly strong written legal defence, I was able to get my licence and vehicle back. I thank Kiranpreet Cheema for helping me to get my life back together and put this stressful situation behind me!

"Ms. Moira McAvoy is a professional, trustworthy lawyer, and a compassionate person."

I am grateful that Ms. Moira McAvoy was my lawyer, and I remain thankful to her for everything. She made a successful resolution to my case possible. Ms. Moira McAvoy is a professional, trustworthy lawyer, and a compassionate person. She is an excellent listener and knowledgeable of the law. From the start, she was an excellent guide. I did not know anything about the legal system and court, and she outlined everything clearly in advance, so I could understand things. She never rushed me through anything. She spoke clearly, explained everything, considered what I said, and provided options and advice. She kept me up to date on new information, requirements, and deadlines. She was always positive and this helped so much.

"Moira McAvoy gave me my life back"

Moira McAvoy gave me my life back. It sounds dramatic, but there's no other way of putting it. I was hours away from simply accepting criminal charges because I didn't think I had any other options. Other law firms wanted thousands of dollars up front just for retainer, and made pitiful attempts to scare me into hiring them. "Well you MIGHT not go to jail if you don't go with us." (This was a first-time offense that was grossly mishandled by CPS and never would have resulted in incarceration.) I decided to throw one last hail Mary and call LegalAid once more to see if they had any suggestions, and they said to call Oykhman. Almost immediately I got a call from Moira, and right away I knew I was talking to the right person. Since day one she has been kind, responsive, and transparent. I had just graduated from SAIT and the pandemic was ramping up, so money was in short supply. She made it abundantly clear that she was more concerned with helping me than bankrupting me, and we worked out a very affordable deal and even a payment plan. And just when we thought the case was going to go to trial, and I was sinking into depression thinking about navigating life with criminal charges, she worked her magic and got the entire case withdrawn, and my slate wiped clean. Did I happy-cry in the backseat of Uber? Damn right I did. Probably the best phone call I'll ever receive, although according to my lovely Uber driver, he deserves most of the credit. "Good things always happen when people ride with me." Every day for the past year has been defined by stress and dread, and Moira got my freedom back. She is nothing short of Herculean, and I will be forever grateful for her efforts. From the bottom of my humbled little heart, thank you Moira. This second chance will not be squandered.

"Moira McAvoy, provided me with a happy resolution to a small legal matter"

Thank you for the helping hand.

"If you are in need of a criminal defence lawyer, don't think twice, get in touch with this firm and ask for Ryan Patmore!"

Ryan Patmore and his team are simply the best. I was bullied by CPS in 2020 and it landed me with three separate charges, assault, refusal to blow and DUI, which all went down as I was parked at a friends. After some research and a conversation with Michael, he directed me towards Ryan and at the time I didn't know that would be a game changer in my favour! He is honest, transparent, helpful and a brilliant mind. He successfully appealed my license suspension with ATSB and then proceeded to get the crown to dismiss all my charges before trial. I never had to step foot inside a court room. If you are in need of a criminal defence lawyer, don't think twice, get in touch with this firm and ask for Ryan Patmore! The guy is an absolute saviour.

- A.P.

"Elena Ryland got all the charges withdrawn and wiped my slate clean."

In the summer of 2019 I got an assault with a "deadly weapon" for defending myself. It sounds far worse on paper than it really was. Given that I had no past criminal charges or any history of violence this was still a bit of a difficult case. But Elena Ryland got all the charges withdrawn and wiped my slate clean. I couldn't have asked for better results. This law firm is by far one of the best I've ever dealt with.

"...I came across Mr Ryan Patmore. He is one of the brightest legal minds and also a down to earth person"

Having a DUI, can literally ruin our life. I had no idea what kind of trouble I was heading towards. When the reality dawned upon me, I was searching for divine intervention. It was then I came across Mr Ryan Patmore. He is one of the brightest legal minds and also a down to earth person. He had me tension free and gave all the positive energy I needed to continue on with my life. On the day of the trial, I was made to wait outside the court room, while Mr. Patmore did the arguing, soon he was out with the good news, that all charges were withdrawn I am grateful to God to have sent me a saviour.

My son was fined with a speeding ticket close to Calgary during a summer trip. We are residing in Edmonton. I just accidentally found Oykhman law office during a google search and decided to give them a shot. My son’s speed at the time of event was unusually high. This was our first experience dealing with such a situation and were very uncertain about the outcome. We received a very professional, responsive and cost effective service, and finally a great result. Joseph Beller was the young, motivated and exact Oykhman’s firm’s lawyer who accepted our case. During the case follow up communication with Joe was smooth, right to the point, on time and flawless.

"Ryan Patmore and Crystal McGraw fought my case in court and won. Words can’t describe that day, because it changed my life."

I was facing 7 Criminal Charges that included; Drug Trafficking, Drug possession, Firearm/Weapons. I was innocent, my life collapsed when all of this happened. I was facing a very stressful and difficult situation, after being released on bail, was referred to Ryan Patmore and during our first meeting he clearly explained my full range of options and the likely course the case would take. He recommended an approach that immediately set my mind at ease. I felt for the first time that things would be okay. Whenever I had a question or concern, he responded quickly by email or phone, no matter what the hour. I cannot imagine going through this process without him and his team by my side. Ryan Patmore doesn’t just fight hard, he fights smart. Ryan Patmore and Crystal McGraw fought my case in court and won. Words can’t describe that day, because it changed my life. I was found not guilty of all charges. I credit Ryan Patmore for my position in life today and I can honestly say that every bit of happiness and tranquility that I have now I can easily attribute to what this attorney did for me during the most difficult time of my life. My family and I will be grateful for all you guys did for me and for them. God bless you and all you do. Never give up fighting for those that need you the most.

"I highly recommend Ryan Patmore to any one who needs a really good defence lawyer."

I was facing serious sexual assault charges, I felt like life as I had known it to be over. It was the most stressful time of my life. I looked for a defence lawyer and found Ryan Patmore at Oykhman Criminal Defence Law. I reached out to Ryan and set up a meeting, from the first meeting Ryan was very professional and easy to talk to, he told me to leave everything to him. When I left his office my stress levels dropped and i felt that there was hope after all. Ryan took care of everything and kept me posted. I went to the preliminary hearing with Ryan, he assured me that it wasn't my trial and that he would do all the talking. Shortly after the preliminary Ryan called me to tell me that all charges were dropped. It felt like a big weight had been lifted off me. Ryan Patmore and his team go above and beyond and I highly recommend Ryan Patmore to any one who needs a really good defence lawyer.

"I highly recommend Mr. Oykhman or any others in his firm to anyone that wants hands off and stress-free legal services."

I have had Mr. Oykhman or others in his firm represent me three times now and on all occasions the issues were fully resolved and in my favor. On the first on any pending charges were withdrawn, on the second one I received the results I was hoping for and on the third one the results far exceeded any expectations I had and the charges were withdrawn. This review is especially for the third charge which was for a DUI I was charged with in December of 2019. I retained Mr. Oykhman to represent me directly due to the severity of the situation. In the Spring of 2020 Mr. Oykhman and I went over the evidence files. The information was very incriminating, and the 911 reviews were damming and embarrassing. My original trial was for June 2020 but because of COVID it was postponed till Nov 2020. I was on my way to Calgary via the bus as I expected to have my license pulled again after the trial. Michael called me on the way to Calgary and informed me he had negotiated with the crown prosecutor and that the charges would be dropped, I was completely shocked at this! His service throughout this case was second to none. He always replied in very short order to any queries I had. I have confidence that once Mr. Oykhman is retained everything will be resolved and more than likely in a favorable way because he understands the issues at hand and how to use the technical areas to his/my advantage. I highly recommend Mr. Oykhman or any others in his firm to anyone that wants hands off and stress-free legal services. In my experiences with him and the firm the outcome in all 3 events were extremely favorable, far better than I deserved. Mr. Oykhman is extremely versed and VERY WELL TIED IN with the judicial system. I will never think of hiring another criminal lawyer again.

"Michael's input was obviously what cleared the way for us and we appreciate that so much. I am so glad that we retained his services."

Just a warning! What became a nightmare for us. A misunderstanding and a call to 911 seeking medical help on our family vacation in a remote place, ended up with my arrest. My wife and I were immediately horrified with the implications. Moral of the story - Do not mess with 911! We called Michael back in Calgary and quickly realized that he was the best to help us out of this mess. The police tried to be very reassuring but be careful. Michael's input was obviously what cleared the way for us and we appreciate that so much. I am so glad that we retained his services. We found ourselves in not a great predicament and out of province with no one to help. I had never been arrested and had no idea what to do. Call Michael! Yes call Michael. The mess was sorted out by Michael. No charges, no convictions and no record. Photos and fingerprints destroyed. Never should have got this far but if it does you can't be too careful. Call Michael.

I’ve had to deal with a few lawyers. And Mike is by far the best. He did his thing, was pretty understanding with my erratic nature. And made it all go away. Best decision to go with them ever. Funny thing is, I could always get ahold of him. Pretty great chatting to a lawyer at 9pm at night, and not being billed hourly. Reasonable flat rate. I highly suggest calling Mike when you’re in trouble. I know I will.

"If anybody needs a defence lawyer Elaine and her team is the way to go."

"I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone who needs a defence lawyer."

I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone who needs a defence lawyer. The experience of being charged was devastating and extremely embarrassing. After doing some research, I contacted Calgary Criminal Defense Lawyers because of their online profile and positive reviews. My initial meeting was with Elaine Ng in the Calgary office. Being charged was a horrible experience and I am so grateful that I met with Elaine and retained her as my lawyer. Elaine was helpful, compassionate and clear in explaining my situation to me. Elaine took care of everything which helped eliminate so much stress for me. The end result was no criminal record and I never had to appear in court. I can't thank Elaine enough and thank you for working so hard to clear my name.

I was involved in a Criminal Mischief charge back in Feb. I found Oykhman criminal defiance law on the internet with great reviews. I used their website and entered my info, within 5 min Mr Janzen responded to my request. He set up an appointment around my schedule (which was a couple days later) I met with Mr. Janzen who was exceptionally professional and reassuring. Mr Jansen, listened to my side of the story in full without interruptions and when I was finished, asked more questions. Mr Janzen was very available whenever I needed info and answered my questions very quickly. Mr Janzen assured my that I would not have to go to my "Promise to appear" Date and that he would take care if everything. Mr Jansen was able to speak to the Crown and get my charge "Stayed" before my court date. Mr Jansen works very hard for his clients and will do everything in his power for us the people. Even with this COVID 19 he worked around the clock for my case. Thank You Mr Jansen and your firm for all the hard work during these times. He also has a very good payment plan and is very fair with his fees. I will 100% recommend Mr Jansen and his firm to anyone who needs a lawyer.

I highly recommend Mr. Oykhman for his services if you need any legal advice and assistance. He was extremely professional, calming and reassuring for me when I reached out for his services.

"I would highly recommend his team"

I am going through an extremely difficult divorce and my ex made a power move by making an allegation against me that involved the police and the start of a three month investigation. Upon the advice of a former RCMP member who is a good friend I engaged the Services of Michael to help with the investigation phase and contact by the city police. His services in dealing with the investigation and guiding me through this is beyond value. I would highly recommend his team. I am pleased to report that with his guidance the matter was dropped before charges, money well invested. If you get contacted by police your first call should be to his office.

"I recommend Ryan and his team at Oykhman to anyone with a DUI charge!"

I thank Ryan Patmore immensely for getting my charges dropped. Before I met with Ryan, I was stressed and down. I worried about my profession, the implication of DUI. I was literally stressed out. But on meeting Ryan, he was calm and extremely professional. He went over the processes with me and reassured me that he will do his best to assist me. He said to me, now that you have handed this over to me, you can go home and continue with your work and your life and leave us to worry about the case. That was the best reassurance I ever got. True, I left his office feeling very relieved. Exactly as he said, a day to the trial, Ryan called me to tell me that charges have been dropped like it never happened. I screamed and thanked him. I felt so much relief thereafter. I recommend Ryan and his team at Oykhman to anyone with a DUI charge. You will get nothing less than the best. He is the best. They are the best.

"Once I seen Ryan in the courtroom, he surpassed all my expectations and for that I want to sincerely thank him and highly recommend him to anyone faced with a life altering charge."

If you are facing a serious criminal charge, your best decision will be to hire Ryan Patmore! I was faced with a very serious sexual assault charge and didn’t know where to turn. When I looked for a defence Lawyer I found Ryan Patmore at Oykhman Criminal Defence Law. From the first time we had a meeting; Ryan put me at ease, and then took care of absolutely everything. Dealing with Ryan and Crystal Mcgraw helped me to understand what I was up against and prepare me for what to expect during my trial. When the trail finally happened, Ryan did everything in his power to prove my innocents to the charges against me, and turn my four day trial into one and a half days, in my favour. Once I seen Ryan in the courtroom, he surpassed all my expectations and for that I want to sincerely thank him and highly recommend him to anyone faced with a life altering charge and needs an experienced lawyer to fight for them.

Michael Oykhman was my defender when I was falsely accused of a crime. It was an incredibly stressful time for me and my family. But he was able to set the record straight and get everything cleared up during the investigation stage; preventing any charges for even being laid against me and clearing my name. Michael is absolutely the very best, and he and his team genuinely care. They are good people that you can trust.

In July 2019 I hired Michael to help me with a “Failure to Blow” charge.

If I was ever to find myself with legal issues again in Calgary, I would not hesitate to hire Michael to help me.

I am so grateful to Elena Ryland for geting my driving charge dropped. This charge had literally held me back from so much, finding a new job etc. I was stressed for over half a year.

"I was thoroughly amazed and satisfied with everything Anny did for me."

Anny Wang was my defence lawyer in the matter of my refusal to blow charge. A hard case to beat. Anny dug very deep for me and updated me when something changed, and was very clear at explaining things that I wasn’t familiar with. She made what I thought was going to be a stressful process, very easy. Very easy to talk to, I would recommend her to anyone I know going through some troubling charges.

Greg Janzen represented me on a 4 ticket traffic charge that could have resulted in loss of my license. He handled every court appearance without me, responded to my texts and emails within hours (even on a Friday night). The result - the 2 most expensive tickets were thrown out and 3 demerit points. I couldn’t be happier with his work, plus he has a great sense of humour.

"Anny comes across as intelligent and knowledgeable but also presents as very humanistic"

The experience of being charged was quite unnerving for me. I immediately started searching for representation. Of the many local options I researched, I chose Edmonton Criminal Defense Lawyers because of their online profile including reviews and their general self representation. My initial meeting was with Anny Wang in the Edmonton office. I was very impressed and I retained her. Anny was helpful and clear in explaining my situation to me. She comes across as intelligent and knowledgeable but also presents as very humanistic. I also felt that she would be tough in court if the situation required it. I recommend Anny. Communications were always very prompt. Anny always clarified the situation for me. The firm took care of all stages of the process. In the end I never had to go to show up at a court hearing and I received a discharge via the Alternative Measures Program. No criminal record.

"I would definitely recommend Elaine to anyone that needs a defence lawyer"

Getting a lawyer was the best thing that I could have done. Elaine was the most helpful in every way . She was always there if I had any questions or concerns. She won the case . It was taken care of very quickly. She took care of everything for me and I’m very thankful to have hired her. Our last meeting was very convenient for me as well. She was out of the office that day as she was not feeling good. But yet we had our meeting over the phone which is more than I could ask for. I would definitely recommend Elaine to anyone that needs a defence lawyer.. very understanding of my concerns and easy to talk to. Thanks you so much.

"Anny was there every step of the way, and I genuinely felt that strong fighting spirit that every good lawyer should evoke."

"To err is human" so the saying goes. We're all human, and it is in our nature to make mistakes. It's a part of life, of evolution, of growth. Unfortunately, sometimes others can hold those mistakes against us, one of those being the archaic criminal justice system in Alberta. Without someone by your side, this system will swallow you whole and destroy your life, if left to its own devices. In my search for someone to help, I came across 2 other lawyers, who immediately made me feel like I was a walking ATM. They made a point to make me feel uncomfortable. These men had already branded me guilty without properly hearing my case. Fortunately, I found the Savage Oykman Law Office, and was immediately assisted. I was assigned Atty. Anny Wang, and boy did I ever luck out. Anny was exactly who I needed--She listened but did not judge. She was honest without being cold, confident without being cocky, assured but not boastful. Anny was there every step of the way, and I genuinely felt that strong fighting spirit that every good lawyer should evoke, to reassure their client that everything will be OK. And with Atty.Wang there, everything did turn out OK. Now I can look forward to a future and further growth as an individual, not bound by the judgement and mistakes of my past. Atty.Wang paved the way for my future to continue being optimistic, and she and her office has my sincerest gratitude.

"Thank-you Greg Janzen and et al, for the work you do!"

I first tried to take care of things on my own. But when the courts escalated my file and I discovered diversion services would no longer be an option I was stressed and overwhelmed to the max. My disclosure revealed accusations that I couldn't begin to dispel and my shock along with the incipient charges rattled me to the core. I knew I needed a lawyer and while I couldn't really afford one, I knew I couldn't afford not to. I met with several lawyers who quoted me retainers of $3,000-$5,000 and that didn't even include resolution fees or admin processing. Forget Snukel or Iovinelli, who in my bidding left me uncertain of my outcome and could only be sure of how much it would cost to get my foot in the door. My eternal gratitude goes to Michael Oykhman who I accidentally connected with first. I'm sure he's a busy man running this firm, but he never redirected my call and listened to me and reassured me instantly that my circumstances were surmountable and that we wouldn't break the bank to see to it they be resolved in my favor. As of yesterday, I am now free and in the clear. Charges have been withdrawn and my fingerprints and photos with police have been destroyed and I can now look forward to travel and work opportunities that won't be limited by what I feared would be an indelible mark on my record compromising my bank job and ability to be bondable! I worked out of province and my defense lawyer made sure I was able to live my life freely without being encumbered. For that reason alone I recommend getting a lawyer, there are so many appearances you can't be missing work for! But, it doesn't stop there. Not only was Greg Janzen on top of my case, he is extremely kind and made himself available by phone, email and in person to counsel me throughout the process. I can't thank him enough for seeing my matters resolved in a timely fashion and perfectly in line with my ideal outcome. I never felt anxiety once I committed to this firm and appreciate their flexibility and commitment to me during my journey that would have otherwise caused me so much distress and limited my freedoms. Thank-you Greg Janzen and et al, for the work you do! Please consider this firm if you find yourself in an unthinkable place and find yourself on the wrong end of the law. You will thank yourself for this time and time again, you aren't alone when you have this team! Cheers.

"Michael's expertise and experience gave us the ultimate resolution; the criminal charges were withdrawn."

When we found ourselves in a situation we thought we would never be in, we were lost and had no idea what steps to take next. We were scared, fearful for the future and the impact criminal charges could potentially have on our son. Then we met Michael. Right from the consultation meeting, he was able to explain to us what to expect and how the legal system viewed allegations concerning a youth. He explained his fees thoroughly so that we could make informed decisions financially on how to proceed. We are so thankful we chose Michael! He involved our son in all communications and answered any questions he had. He was able to provide some perspective during the worst time in our lives. Michael's expertise and experience gave us the ultimate resolution; the criminal charges were withdrawn. We will be forever grateful for Michael and his knowledge and abilities! Thank you Michael!

"Elaine and Myranda kept me informed throughout and I highly recommend them."

I wholeheartedly recommend Oykhman Criminal Defence Law. Elaine Ng and her Assistant Myranda Smale provided exceptional service! When facing criminal charges I foolishly considered dealing with the matter on my own. I cannot express what a serious error in judgement that would have been. After researching Oykhman Criminal Defence Law; engaging the services of Elaine Ng and meeting with her, I knew I had made a sound decision. Elaine took the time to explain the process; offered me options and recommended a path that ultimately was successful in resolving my matters with the best possible outcome - the withdrawal of the charges. Elaine was key in this process. Elaine and Myranda kept me informed throughout and I highly recommend them.

Not only that, but for the ladies, he looks awesome in a suit 😉

"I carefully researched what firm to use, and I am very pleased that I landed on Oykhman Criminal Defence Law, specifically Elaine Ng, and her assistant Myranda Smale."

Needing legal representation regarding a criminal charge was not something I ever expected I would need. The emotional, financial, and practical burden of a criminal charge, with its inherent risk to my life was heavy. I am a dedicated mother, volunteer, business professional, and traveller who cannot manage the life I want and need, with a criminal record. I carefully researched what firm to use, and I am very pleased that I landed on Oykhman Criminal Defence Law, specifically Elaine Ng, and her assistant Myranda Smale. Elaine and Myranda have objectively given opinions, have been empathetic, detailed, efficient, and timely. And, they succeeded in closing the file with the best possible outcome - the criminal charge withdrawn. It is an indescribable relief. I appreciate their intelligent work, knowledge & management skills. The right means to achieve the right end. I am grateful, and thank Elaine Ng and the team.

I can't recommend Michael enough. A family member got into some serious trouble and we had no idea what to do. Micheal helped us navigate the court system, answered all of our questions and concerns quickly and was always available at a moments notice through email or text. He was upfront about cost and there were no hidden extra fees. On top of all of this our family member was facing time in prison and Michael negotiated with the crown and had the charges lessened and we ended up with only probabtion. There are not enough words to thank him for all he has done.

I am very grateful to Ryan for his commitment and for helping me obtain the optimal solution. I highly recommend Ryan Patmore should you require a criminal defense lawyer.

"Mr. Patmore helped me achieve a miraculous result, ALL my charges were withdrawn"

I had the opportunity to have Ryan Patmore representing me in my criminal case earlier this year 2019. Mr. Patmore helped me achieve a miraculous result, ALL my charges were withdrawn. It was the outcome beyond my expectation. I was able to get on with my life and I could not be happier with the results. I find Ryan to be extremely confident and knowledgeable in the criminal fields. His strategic planning and brilliant performance in the court room were impressive. Ryan is also very caring and attentive. He put my mind at ease during one of the most stressful times in my life. I can't thank Ryan and his team enough. I would highly recommend Ryan Patmore to be your criminal lawyer if you ever need a brilliant lawyer to represent you. You will be in good hands and will achieve the best possible results for any of your criminal issues. Thank you Ryan Patmore.

"Ryan's experienced legal strategies resulted in ALL charges, convictions and fines dropped"

Ryan Patmore saved my transport business, financial future, and mental health. I failed 3 consecutive breath tests, and was charged with impairment over twice the legal limit. I was unable to work. The lost wages, combined with vehicle impound fees, potential fines and convictions, were crippling. I was debating selling the company and additional vehicles, with no backup for my future. Ryan's experienced legal strategies resulted in ALL charges, convictions and fines dropped. As well as reinstatement of my driver's license. My life would not be where it is today without him. A great person to work and communicate with. Would recommend to absolutely anyone seeking to remedy a life changing mistake.

"No fine no Criminal record"

"Michael handled my case with expediency and diplomacy."

Michael handled my case with expediency and diplomacy, and most of all with class. He instructed me on all the fine details of what to expect. My experience with him is that he doesn’t give up, negotiated and my charges were dropped. I’d highly recommend his expertise as I did see a “highly recommended lawyer” whom I felt treated me on first sight as if I was a full blown derelict. I was so anxious I felt I didn’t have a shred of possible sound advice so I reached out to Michael. What a difference! Michael treats you as the person before the offence! As a person with zero previous offences the process was beyond my expectations.

I retained Greg Janzen as a defense lawyer to help me with a legal matter that came up. He helped answer all my questions and took care of all my court dates. Although the legal system can be a long process, Greg helped expedite the process as much as he could, ultimately achieving a satisfactory result of the withdrawal of my charges.

"I am relieved and extremely grateful to Elaine."

First and foremost, Elaine Ng is a very professional defense lawyer. From the onset of my case, she was detail-oriented and having had previous experiences with my situation, was able to objectively and thoroughly guide me through the whole process including the court proceedings. She is knowledgeable about what a client can expect from the police, the prosecution as well as the judge and shares comprehensive advice which can strengthen one's case. Elaine kept in close contact with me and responded to all my queries. As I followed all of her recommendations, everything fell into place including not getting a conviction which was the best case scenario I could hope for. I am relieved and extremely grateful to Elaine and her firm as I can now continue with my life and be a better person. I commend Elaine on her great work and wish her more power and more accomplishments for all the years to come!

"Elizabeth was able to get me off my driving impaired charges and having more than the legal limit of alcohol in my system."

I was charged with driving under the influence and being over the legal limit of alcohol. I started to do some research and came across the oykhman website, this is where I started to read reviews and see lots of good things being said. Knowing these are some serious charges, I put all my trust in the firm and had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth Weisenburger. From the moment we met I felt very comfortable and knew I was in great hands , Elizabeth was always going out of her way to make sure everything was okay and that I was always up to date with any new information received. Before trial we spoke about some of our options and she told me we had a pretty good case. This made me feel very calm and determined to go to trial. After the first trial date the matter was adjourned till yesterday which was april 25 / 2019, from the moment I walked in I had a great feeling about the trial. Elizabeth really knows her stuff , she really speaks with confidence and it’s reassuring knowing that’s the person representing you. As the trial concluded Elizabeth was able to get me off my driving impaired charges and having more than the legal limit of alcohol in my system. The case was withdrawn and I can honestly say every penny was worth it. I highly recommend this law firm, not only do they work together and help each other out, but they really go out of there way to help you and it’s very comforting knowing your lawyer truly cares about you.

"I would recommend Micheal Oykhman to anyone in need of a lawyer."

Great service right from the beginning. Was referred to Micheal Oykhman by Jordan Szoo and he could not have been a better lawyer for the position I was in. I was facing very serious charges over a relatively small mistake and through Micheal's knowledge and connections I was able to secure a result that I am more than happy with, and more importantly, one that was far better than what I was expecting. He can answer just about any legal questions you have, and his office is incredibly quick to respond. I would recommend Micheal Oykhman to anyone in need of a lawyer. He went above and beyond in my case and as a result, I can continue living as a free person.

- J.L.

"Ooldouz is a rock star and I highly recommend her services!"

Ooldouz is a rock star and I highly recommend her services! I was charged with driving while impaired and having a blood alcohol level over 0.08. There were questions as to whether the arresting officers followed correct procedures but perhaps there was insufficient negligence on their part to have my charges withdrawn. Therefore Ooldouz and I began preparing for a curative discharge. Behind the scenes however, she kept working on my case and as a result of her persistence and expertise, she was able to have my charges stayed. This was a completely unexpected outcome to my situation. Awesome job Oolouz and thanks for going above and beyond!

I would highly recommend Micheal Oykhman and his team of lawyers and assistants for any legal matter one needs! From the start to finish Michael and Elaine took my matter very seriously and researched every bit of evidence and got me the best results that was possible for my matter. Michael took out of his personal time right from the beginning to address the matters and made me feel like I was a priority not just another number on the list, I would put Michael at the top of my list for recommendations for any type of criminal legal matters! Oykhman law was the second firm that I had to hire and there professionalism was above and beyond from what I was experiencing prior and made the matters that I was facing look more promising and resolvable, the communication from Michael and Elaine was paramount in this case getting me the best possible outcome. Right down to the point of having the trial adjourned as my mother passed away just two days before the trial. I truely feel that Oykhman law has made this painful 2 year journey through these matters getting to trial as painless as possible considering the circumstances and has impacted my close family and friends when all things looked very dismal before I hired his firm of lawyers. From start to finish I have been blessed by having Michael’s firm represent me right down to my probation officer Amanda Dickson’s understanding the sensitivity of the matters.

Ryan Patmore was my lawyer on three different charges of various criminal offences. I'm have been more then happy to pay any costs no matter how large, he managed to get me off on charges I thought where hopeless to even try and defeat. When I was incarcerated in Calgary and Lethbridge correctional services he managed to get bail with very little conditions. Ryan's assistant has also been wonderful in keeping in contact and keeping me in the loop at all times. If your having troubles with criminal charges and you need a great lawyer who will truly do his job to the best of his ability I would and always will highly recommend Ryan patemore with oykhman criminal defence.

Mr. Patmore was the best attorney I could have asked for. I witnessed many attorney’s talking and negotiating with the Judge during my court appearances, but never have I seen another attorney possesess the confidence and professionalism Mr.patmore portrayed. R.P made sure I was comfortable the whole way through and he expressed to me his skills and knowledge within the justice system assuring me that my charges would get dropped and receive minimal consequences. Mr. Patmore cared about my future and other things that were significant in my life, (education/work/family) making sure the justice system would not interfere with my values as he understands how important that was to me. He made sure that I was comfortable with the outcomes that I had purposed and assured me it will go the way I want it to go, which it did.

"In my eyes Danielle Boisvert is the top lawyer in Edmonton, so I highly recommend her as a defence lawyer for anyone."

I had a dispute with my neighbors over some property changes. The neighbors lied to the police claiming that I had assaulted them. The police officers were too impatient to listen to my side of the story, they even rejected my witness stating what was seen before they decided to press two charges against me. As the actual victim I felt frustrated knowing that I might end up with a criminal record due to this bias, which would severely affect the life of myself and my whole family. Danielle Boisvert is straightforward, honest, effective and did her best in my case. After she understood the details of what happened before the charges were laid on me. She gave me options clearly. And I was impressed that she was so confident that she could make the bias officers feel embarrassed and show that were not competent in their job if I decided to go to the court trial. She strategically had my case successfully withdrawn with no criminal record so we were able to avoid the uncertainty and stress of having to go to court. I was impressed with her being willing to make time, even weekend, when I needed it. My family and I appreciated her for her hard work to get me back the justice. In my eyes Danielle Boisvert is the top lawyer in Edmonton, so I highly recommend her as a defence lawyer for anyone.

Ryan Patmore is an exceptional crimnal defendant. This is the first time in my life in which I need a crimnal defendant. Fortunately, I met my lifesaver - Ryan Patmore. I was wrongfully charged with assault. I lived in a nightmare until I met Mr. Patmore. After our first meeting, he sent me the messages to ease my emotions and told me to leave the case to him. He was right! With his legal knowledge and professional negotiation skills, the Crown finally decided to withdraw my case. I didn't even need to go to trial. Mr. Patmore did his best to save me and even save my legal costs. Without Mr. Patmore, my life would definitely be ruined. He is my savior! If anyone wants to find the best legal defendant in Calgary, trust me Mr. Patmore is the one you are looking for. He is professional, confident, knowledgeable and thoughtful!

My experience with Michael was nothing but top notch. He was extremely real, down to earth, and honest with me.

"Absolutely worth every penny"

Absolutely the best decision you can make is getting in touch with these guys and having them make the case not only make sense but clarify with a clear plan on how they will attack it. Absolutely worth every penny to have them in my corner and not only win my case but make me feel comfortable and get my life back again. Thanks Mike and Greg.

"Michael is the best lawyer in Calgary!"

I would highly recommend Michael and his team to people who need help. I'm so glad that we found Michael and his team! Michael is very professional. My brother was going through really hard time since he was charged with refusal. We were so worried but Michael helped us from the beginning to the end to resolve the case. Michael worked so hard with Greg and finally they were able to resolve the case just right before the trial. The refusal charge is dropped!! That was amazing and very impressive! My brother and me are so thankful for Michael's effort! Thank you so much Michael, Greg and Bev!! Michael is the best lawyer in Calgary!

Danielle made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process and also gave me the confidence that things would be taken care of in a timely fashion. In no time at all Danielle successfully had charges withdrawn. Her diligent work enabled me to see my family on time for the holidays which meant the world to me. Please contact Danielle Boisvert if you are facing criminal charges, you will not be disappointed!”

"The reviews on this firm speak for themselves”

"So.... yesterday on June 25th, 2018, I got my life back. Upon finding this good sir, Michael Oykhman, a short time ago, I soon learned that his knowledge and magician-like capabilities to pull rabbits out of hats were second to none. I sit here today, without any charges against me, in disbelief and absolute gratitude for Mike's finely tuned skills and ability to pull through and with all the odds stacked against us. Make no mistake about it, the reviews on this firm speak for themselves and I am not disappointed in the least. Money well spent. Period. Thank you Mike!”

"I would highly recommend Michael Oykhman”

"I would highly recommend Michael Oykhman to anyone looking for a top level defense lawyer. I had no experience in looking for legal counsel, and after reading reviews online and meeting with a few lawyers I knew he was the right choice. Throughout the entire process he was honest and professional and displayed through his actions that he really had my back. Even when things did not look promising he never gave up, and it was this perseverance that really proved to me that he was the right lawyer for the job. He explored all options when it seemed like none were left to ensure that I had the best possible chance of winning the case, and in the end his hard work and expertise paid off as all charges were dropped. My life will never be the same as a result of this outcome, and I owe this to Michael and the great job that he did.”

- D.Y.

"Michael is truly a trustworthy and knowledgeable lawyer”

"Michael is the lawyer who can help you get the best result. I had a trouble with the law and it was my first time deal with it, and I was devastated. I searched on the Internet and found Michael is the lawyer with a good review and reputation. I did not hesitate to contact him. Through the whole process, he is straightforward and helpful, and he answers my emails fast and promptly. Although the process is hard and stressful, he gave me hope and faiths. Michael is truly a trustworthy and knowledgeable lawyer that gave me the best result. I highly recommend Michael and his team!”

"Danielle was incredibly professional”

"Danielle was incredibly professional and effective in the defense of my case. But more than that, she really listened and tried to help me personally. She was kind, honest and open when it came to my specific situation. I appreciate her sense of humanity. Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time I needed help. But this time, I found someone that cares about their client. It wasn't just a paycheck. She made me feel like I'm worth it and my life is worth it. Thank you for caring and for putting in the effort Danielle!! I couldn't have done this on my own.”

- R.M.

"Danielle Boisvert is straightforward, honest, effective and did her best in my case”

"I had a dispute with my neighbours over changes they had made to my property. The neighbours lied to the police claiming that I assaulted them. The two cops called in were full of bias and chose not to listen to my side of the story and pressed two charges against me. As the actual assaulted victim I felt frustrated knowing that I may end up with a criminal record due to this bias, which would severely affect the life of myself and my whole family. Danielle Boisvert is straightforward, honest, effective and did her best in my case. She strategically had my case successfully withdrawn so we were able to avoid the uncertainty and stress of having to go to court. My family and I appreciated her for her hard work to get me back the justice which was robbed from me. I highly recommend her as a defence lawyer for anyone”

"She (Elaine Ng) puts in 100% effort for anyone she represents”

"I was charged with refusal to blow and I knew that winning this case wasn't going to be easy. Luckily I went and got help from Elaine Ng which resulted in the charge being withdrawn. Elaine was extremely professional while being friendly. She was always available to answer any questions that I had. She puts in 100% effort for anyone she represents. Thank you for your hard work and giving me this second chance. I will forever be grateful for what Elaine and her team has done for me.”

"I put myself in a tough spot and I knew I needed legal help.”

"I put myself in a tough spot and I knew I needed legal help. I started looking online to compare different law firms. I didn't just want to get any lawyer or the first one listed in the phone book. I needed to make the right decision for my family, so I researched reviews all over the internet. It quickly became apparent Michael and his team were the ones to go with. I did and I'm happy I choose Michael to represent me. He was professional, honest, and delivered for my family. Thank you!”

"Michael is a professional and its evident he takes pride in his work.”

"I was looking at a second DUI charge and had no place to go...”

"I was looking at a second DUI charge and had no place to go, I had got online and started to do my research reading testimonials and reviews. I found a gentleman with an outstanding reputation for professionalism and a great track record in his field.
I wasted no time in contacting Mr. Michael Oykhman and I presented him an almost impossible case as I know I screwed up and I was 100% in the wrong. But I had 2 choices whether to plead guilty or to go to trial so I went with the trial not knowing what the outcome would be. As I sat there in court to await my fate, I had a unique opportunity to see Michael in action and literally watch him make fools of the cops that were there to testify against me as well as dance circles around the prosecutor with facts and counteractions, even the judge was commending him on his creativity.
I could go on and on but to make a long story short, Mr. Michael Oykhman gave me a second lease on life and it was money well spent, I highly recommend him and his team to get the job done and I will assure you, that you will be in very good hands and on top of that they offer a reasonable payment plan. I have defiantly learned my lesson for good, so THANK YOU, Mike, you're the man and keep up the fight!”

"I am so grateful and would recommend him to anyone. Thank You Zane.”

His knowledge and representation of me I just can't thank him enough. Easy to deal with, cared and did for me a lot more than I expected. I am so grateful and would recommend him to anyone. Thank You Zane.”

"Without hesitation, I would recommend Elizabeth Weisenburger to defend anyone in a criminal case.”

"Without hesitation, I would recommend Elizabeth Weisenburger to defend anyone in a criminal case. Her unrivalled knowledge of the law helped me be acquitted of assault charges.

His humour, reliability, the "super smarts", wisdom, maturity and passion for justice is going to take him very far in this field. Thank you, Dylan - you truly helped me big-time! Dylan is a 5-star lawyer."

"I am very thankful that I had Michael as my defence lawyer"

"I was charged with a DUI and through Google search I found Oykhman Criminal Defence Law. In no time at all I had a consultation with Michael. I was feeling utterly defeated and had little hope for a positive outcome. He explained the legal aspects of the situation and presented all my options. Two days before my court date, he called to let me know the charges had been dropped. I don't know how he did it but I am very thankful that I had Michael as my defence lawyer"

- O.C.

"I would highly recommend Luke and his team"

"I used Luke Faught and his team in September 2017. Right from the get go of shaking Luke’s hand and discussing my case, I had total confidence in him. He assured me that he had it all under control. I walked into his office felling nervous and left feeling confident that Luke would help me and have justice prevail. They were excellent at responding to any queries I had and all responses were in a good time frame. I would highly recommend Luke and his team for anyone needing legal representation for whatever the circumstances."

In June I was charged with a care and control ticket...

"In June I was charged with a care and control ticket which would have been detrimental to my career and life, so I knew I needed someone who was extremely professional and easy to work with, Michael and his team were the perfect fit for me and my case. When the time arose to ask any questions concerning legal matters, Michael was easy to talk with.. The whole team is very professional and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is dealing with a serious legal matters. Thank you to Michael and his team."

I am very grateful for his (Michael's) hard work, cool head, and clear communication

"I hired Michael as my defence lawyer following two charges of assault made against me. I was a nervous mess, as I was never in trouble with the law before and didn't have a clue about the legal system. Michael boasts immense experience with the courts and was efficiently able to get both charges withdrawn. I am very grateful for his hard work, cool head, and clear communication throughout the whole process. Thank you."

"Elaine, I am so deeply thankful"

"I've rewritten this review so many times because I just can't find the right way to fully reflect how deeply I appreciate and value what Elaine Ng has done for me. Reading earlier reviews, I wasn't sure that my case was even worth her time - in fact, I was 'pre-charge', meaning that I was incredibly scared about my own actions and hadn't been charged or even investigated, at that point. Essentially, my loss of sleep, loss of focus when awake, and my hour-by-hour anxiety was because I didn't know what would happen next, and one's mind can be one's worst adversary. Elaine provided absolute guidance and direction, even helping me to understand that the right to silence is in fact universal and impermeable. Because of her tireless patience and resourceful experience, my actions - which could have devastated my life had I tried to handle the outcome myself - instead resulted in ....no charges, no record, no sentence. Elaine, I am so deeply thankful that you cared about my 'non-case' as you obviously have cared about more involved and 'juicier' clients. Thank you so much for treating me so kindly, compassionately, and with understanding."

"Would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer"

"This year I got myself into some trouble with the law. I called Michael based on a Google search and it turned out to be a very good call indeed. During our consultation Michael explained everything I was looking at legally in clear terminology that I could understand, and then defined all of the options available. With that information I was able to make a decision and have Michael and his team proceed with my defense. I am grateful for Michael and his team's efforts and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer."

- G.M.

"We would highly recommend Luke Faught"

"We would highly recommend Luke Faught. He is an exceptional lawyer who does incredible work, which has the added benefit of his experience as a former Crown Prosecutor. He was available after hours on a Friday evening, when we needed to find a lawyer, and with each visit he was welcoming and positive. Not only did his vast legal knowledge win our case and give us our lives back, but his reassuring and steady manner helped to keep us sane through one of the worst experiences of our lives. This is a good man, who will do amazing work for you!"

- K.B.P

"I would highly recommend Michael Oykhman"

"I was charged with a DUI and was feeling completely hopeless. I called and spoke with many lawyers in Calgary and got the impression that the majority only cared about having their fee paid. After filling out a form on Michael Oykhman's website, he called me back in a timely manner and we setup an in person meeting to discuss my case. Even though I thought I had no chance of winning my case Michael gave me the belief that we had a chance. Low and behold a week before trial I get a phone call from Michael saying the charges have been dropped. I would highly recommend Michael Oykhman if you need counsel. Thank you Michael!"

- M.H.

"Very professional, kind, minimal time."

"At first I was very scared. Once talking to Elizabeth and she explained all the options, I was at a much better peace of mind. It is not a situation you ever want to be in. I proceeded with her knowledge and very kind understanding. There was a tough road to follow. Through that road, all charges were dropped! I was so very very thankfully. Very professional, kind, minimal time. Thanks Elizabeth!"

- B.A.

"I can't thank Michael enough for the time & dedication he put into my case."

"I was charged with Dangerous Driving, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, and Blood Alcohol Level above 0.08. I hired a lawyer who after 6 months told me that it was useless to pursue my case & I should plead guilty. For me pleading guilty was not an option because I was very concerned about having a criminal record. After reading reviews, I got rid of my lawyer & I hired Michael. Within two months of handling my case all charges were dropped. I didn't believe it could happen but Michael was able to secure me with the best possible outcome. I can't thank Michael enough for the time & dedication he put into my case."

- J.D.

I would recommend Michael to anyone...

"I found myself in an unfamiliar and scary situation when I was charged with an impaired driving charge. This was my first time ever having a brush-in with the law and I did not know where to turn. Michael Oykhman was referred to me by a peer. After sitting with Michael and discussing my case, not only did I feel a sense of relief about what the process was, I also felt I was supported, educated and I was not judged based on my charge. Michael was prompt in answering any of my questions and phone calls and provided an exceptional service both professionally and personally. I would recommend Michael to anyone who finds themselves in a situation like this, in my personal opinion he tops the scale on what a lawyer should be. I am also happy to disclose that my charge was stayed and I could resume life where it left off. Thank you Michael and team for the support during this incredibly trying time."

- S.C.

"Michael is definitely a great lawyer to take in consideration!"

"Michael is definitely a great lawyer to take in consideration! Since the very first moment, he always took care of my case. It was such a long journey but the final results couldn't be better! I'm thankful to his work and to all his team for always supporting me, for always getting back to me with new updates regarding to my case. Today I'm free of charges and got my criminal record clean! I highly recommend his services to someone who's dealing with criminal charges! Thank you Michael!"

"Above and beyond the call of duty"

"I met Michael as most people do, in a time of crisis. What I experienced after hiring Michael and his firm to represent me was to say the least "above and beyond the call of duty." I believe the success Michael and his colleagues have been able to attain is that they really listen to their clients and use this knowledge to put forward the best and most realistic defense possible. In my particular case,, which was very complicated, it was Michael and Elizabeth's ability to listen, formulate a strategy and then guide me through the legal process (which I have never encountered before) serves as a testament to their knowledge of law and compassion for their clients. For their services rendered, in my case, I can think of only one word: " Priceless " Thank you Michael, Elizabeth and your kind staff for helping me to regain my life back."

- K.W.

"Fees were very affordable and the service was worth ten time I paid."

"Awesome law firm, always answered my calls and phone me back when I left a message. Never made me feel like they were doing it just for the money and actually cared about the outcome !!!! I would recommend Elaine and her team over any lawyer in Calgary. Fees were very affordable and the service was worth ten time I paid ! Had dui and a theft charge and four failure to appear!!! Elaine and her colleagues were able to have all charges stayed and including the 4 failures that I was definitely guilty of. I am still totally amazed with my first phone call with Michael who put me in good hands with Leah Staples who moved on to bigger and better I'm sure. However she left me with Elaine, an amazing up and coming lawyer that I'm sure will be a judge some day, very smart and punctual. She is superwoman in my eyes and worked miracles. I am forever grateful. If anyone ever wants help, Oykhman/Savage is your team !!!!"

- E.D.

"I would highly recommend Ian Savage as your lawyer."

"I would highly recommend Ian Savage as your lawyer. He was very professional and took his time to make sure everything went according to plan. There is a reason why he is one of the top DUI lawyers in Alberta. He made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I will always keep him in mind and recommend him to anyone."

"Elizabeth and team did a phenomenal job in looking after my case."

"Elizabeth and team did a phenomenal job in looking after my case. As I wasn't familiar at all with the whole process, she educated me and made everything extremely easy from start to finish.

- K.A.

"Mike will forever be my lawyer and I recommend his services to anyone"

"To be told that you are being arrested for spousal assault is shocking enough. It's even more shocking when you know you didn't do it and that your girlfriend called the cops just because she wanted to embarrass you. This happened to me and yes, I thought of jumping from a tall building. But someone told me to call Mike. He sat with me, listened and promised to represent me. On my very first appearance, the no-contact order was removed and three weeks later Mike called me disclosing that the Crown was willing to withdraw all charges. At my last appearance, I saw other men- with lawyers - whose cases had been lingering for seven months. Mike will forever be my lawyer and I recommend his services to anyone - particularly men/women who are the victims of falsehoods."

- C.H.

"I would definitely recommend Michael Oykhman and his team."

"I would definitely recommend Michael Oykhman and his team. Not only were my charges dropped but the professionalism and empathy I was shown gave you confidence knowing someone was working just as hard as you would be to obtain the best possible result. For anyone looking for lawyer he is one of the best hands down."

- R.D.

"I would not hesitate to recommend them"

"Michael Oykhman and his team delivered a high standard of legal services that lead to the best possible outcome for me and I would not hesitate to recommend them. He set a realistic timeline that was achieved two months earlier than anticipated and always acted in my best interests. The entire team was responsive to my questions throughout the process, always offering answers within a week. The combination of this resulted in the best outcome: my charges were dropped and my record has been restored."

"Elizabeth Weisenburger was a treat to work with."

"Elizabeth Weisenburger was a treat to work with. She handled my case with expediency and helped me every step of the way. I really liked her ability to empathize with me, and help me through some of the melancholy I was experiencing. Letting me know there are things we can try, no guarantees. It took a lot of weight off my shoulders, and made me feel hopeful. In the end, everything turned out right. I am very appreciative of her approach, and her experience."

"I am thankful to have had Elizabeth Weisenburger work on my case."

"I am thankful to have had Elizabeth Weisenburger work on my case. Throughout the entire process Elizabeth demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, high attention to detail, and was very efficient in resolving my case with a positive outcome. In addition, from the very beginning Elizabeth educated me on the process, my rights, and what I could expect during the resolution of my case which was very reassuring. I would highly recommend the law services of Elizabeth Weisenburger."

- L

I would highly recommend Michael and his team.

"From my initial phone-in meetings with Michael Oykhman, he displayed a genuine interest in helping with my case. His approach was thorough, supported by a substantial research which complemented his experience and knowledge in law. As a client (away from Calgary), I was more than confident with his approach to my case and his personality enabled me to develop more trust factor on his advice. And if you need a defense lawyer in future, I would highly recommend Michael and his team."

- N.M.

I highly recommend Elaine or any of her colleagues at Michael Oykhman Defense Law

"Six months ago I made a terrible mistake. I spoke to Michael Oykhman to begin with. He recommended Leah Staples. When she was no longer available, Elaine Ng took over my case. I can say now I am so happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Elaine or any of her colleagues at Michael Oykhman Defense Law in any criminal matter."

- S.R

Calling Michael Oykhman was the best choice...

"Calling Michael Oykhman was the best choice made during a time that created a lot of uncertainty and stress to our family from an impaired driving charge. The long term effects of a guilty charge would have been devastating. Michael found substantial errors in the process of the arrest resulting in an absolute discharge of the case four months later. These unfortunate situations often provide opportunities for people to re-evaluate their current lifestyles and other than the financial costs associated with retaining an excellent lawyer like, Mr. Oykhman, there can be light at the end of the process and thanks to Michael all of that has been fully realized. His services were worth every dime as a guilty charge would have resulted in much higher personal and monetary costs. Michael was the best, and in hindsight, the only choice. His thorough and personal touch with this file was what resulted in a total best case scenario outcome."

- E.A.

Excellent and exceptional professional service...

"Excellent and exceptional professional service from Ian and his staff during my recent DUI charge. Thank you for your assistance and positive outcome."

- T.S.

I would not hesitate to recommend Michael and his team

"All little over a year ago I made a bad decision based on some bad advice which ended up with me being in a lot of trouble with the law. As a husband and father I was terrified. I called Michael based on his many positive reviews and I'm very glad I did. He was very professional and honest. He laid everything out for me and didn't sugar coat it. My charges were serious and could have made my life very difficult and although it seemed like there was a very good case against me, Michael and his team worked very hard to find mistakes made by the arresting officers and ultimately let to my case being withdrawn. My family and I are very grateful for the help that we received. I learned a very hard lesson, but the outcome could have been a lot worse. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael and his team to anyone who finds themselves in need of a good criminal defense lawyer."

- D.B.

Elaine is an excellent lawyer

"Elaine is an excellent lawyer, she gave me great news today!!! I came back from my holidays at the beginning of the year with a public mischief charge and it basically had me worried to the extent that I couldn't eat or sleep anymore without thinking something bad was going to happen. I got a hold of Elaine and gave her all my information and she got more information and she got my case stayed which is excellent , I am so happy for what the outcome an extreme weight has been lifted of my shoulders and I thank Elaine for her knowledge of the case that she dealt with for me. I highly recommend Elaine or any of her colleagues at Oykhman to help you in a criminal matter that you are not sure about. Elaine is one heck of a lawyer she is awesome at what she does. Thank you again Elaine."

"I found myself charged with crimes..."

"I found myself charged with crimes I couldn't understand the basis of. Being a part of the group of people who don't qualify for Legal Aid and can't afford a lawyer, I was beyond stressed as I contemplated navigating the criminal justice system on my own. Danielle heard of my predicament and offered to take the case with a payment arrangement that I could manage. Her friendly professionalism helped ease my frayed nerves and her never-ending confidence that she could help put this matter behind me was unshakeable. The end result was I still have a clean record and faith that there is help available for those who need it. Thanks, Danielle! I couldn't have made it through without your assistance."

Elizabeth got me a great result!

Michael gave me the best result.

"I came to Michael's office because I found myself in a bad situation. I was charged for assault when i was protecting my child from somebody's harm. Michael took over the case in a timely manner. He's good at what he do, i have to say it. At last, my case was dropped/stayed and I am so thankful for what he did for my family. There's no word can express my thank to his crew and him. I would recommend Michael to anyone who seeking the best defense lawyer. Michael will deliver the best result to you."

Best decision I could have made.

"In a very traumatic time in my life it was extremely fortunate that I got the personal recommendation to use Michael Oykhman as my lawyer, and it was the best decision I could have made. He helped to calm the waters and set me through a path to deal with, and move past, my charges. The whole experience with him, and his law firm was extremely positive and professional. All questions were dealt with quickly and thoroughly, all correspondences were clear and informational. To add to this Michael's calming demeanour, coupled with his honest input, helped me to understand, and clarify my case, and what my chances were to get a positive outcome, which is exactly what he was able to do for me. I would not hesitate to fully recommend Michael and his law firm to anybody that is looking for a thorough, competent, caring, professional lawyer who is going to get the best outcome for you!"

Michael and his team have given me a second chance at a normal life.

"I found myself in a very hopeless situation. I had a severe alcohol addiction issue and made the mistake of driving my vehicle while intoxicated one day. I had an accident in the process and was arrested on the spot. I blew several times over the legal limit, there were 8 witnesses at the accident and I was arrested immediately. I knew I was was in BIG trouble.... So I called Michael to help me navigate through the legal process. Two days before my court trial date, Michael phones me to tell me that my case has been dropped/stayed. I asked him how did that happened? And his answer was that "it's because I am excellent at what I do." And its true he is. He then proceeded to give me some excellent advice to deal with my addiction. Michael and his team have given me a second chance at a normal life. I can't thank him and his team enough for the work they did for me. I am happy to provide referrals to Oykham so feel free to call their office to get my # if you are looking for a reference to their remarkable service."

"The Best Results"

"With my situation being charged with dangerous driving and never having a criminal charge before, Michael's services were exceptional to have my charge withdrawn. It was a huge relief to have this result and the ability to continue with my life as normal as before the incident. I would recommend Michael to anyone who gets into a similar situation, because he is exceptional at what he does and he works very hard to give and deliver the best results for his clients. I highly recommend Michael to represent anyone."

- S.A.

Thank you Danielle!

"Danielle was really easy to talk to and work with. She responded quickly to what we needed. Thank you Danielle!"

- M.D.

Would highly recommend his services to anyone I know.

"Michael was super professional and took care of my legal needs very quickly and to my benefit. Would highly recommend his services to anyone I know."

- K.L.

Best option one could have.

"Best option one could have. I was arrested and charged with a DUI and dangerous driving. I had very low hope for a positive outcome which Michael and Bev countered with support and confidence. They were always helpful and available and had no issues explaining the options clearly and thoroughly. Michael ended up being able to make note of a flaw in how the arrest was made which ended up getting 2 criminal charges down to one careless driving ticket. Extremely blessed to have had Michael on my side and would recommend his services to anyone in need of such."

- J.W.

Very much worth every dime.

"A few months late to review, but I have to thank Michael from the bottom of my heart for getting me through my theft case at the end of 2016. It was a hard road with everything against me but Michael worked hard to get me the best deal I could ever ask for. I am able to live each day as normal as I can, while dealing with my consequences and taking all the necessary steps to make my life better and to prove that the person I was being was not who I really am. Thanks so much Michael, for getting me the chance to continue my life. I highly recommend Michael and his team for their services. Very much worth every dime."

Best decision I ever made!

"Leah Staples did an amazing job in helping me resolve my legal matters! Facing an impaired driving charge and a possible criminal record, I needed lawyer to resolve this. Stressed and a little overwhelmed, my consultation with Leah was a very nice experience. She was very informative & thorough with her details on how she could help and what may be needed on my part. Her diligence and experience helped make my process through this matter a lot less stressful. As a result, my charges were all dropped. I did not have to go to my final court date. Best decision I ever made! I highly recommended Leah Staples for your legal matters. She helped me get my life back on track! Thanks Leah, you were amazing!"

- B.K.

Elizabeth is an amazing lawyer

"I had an impaired driving charge and met with Elizabeth Weisenburger for the free initial consultation. During the meeting she was very thorough and took time to explain all the possible course of actions and outcomes of the situation. I was very upset and worried going into the meeting, and meeting with her made me feel a lot more at ease. I hired her to be my lawyer and she was amazing. She eventually got all my charges dropped, before even going to court. I can't recommend her enough. Hiring her was the best decision I've made. Her fee was a small price to pay in comparison to the consequences of being found guilty to impaired driving. Elizabeth is an amazing lawyer, I am so thankful that I hired her."

- K.M.

Danielle came to the rescue!

"Danielle came to the rescue! I was going through a horrible experience trying to deal with a refusal to blow charge. I immediately hired the first lawyer I could find, being scared and not knowing what I was dealing with. Turns out this lawyer would not answer my calls, texts or emails. As my trial date was coming close I knew I needed to do something and fast. I went and spoke with another attorney and that was when Danielle was recommended to me. She took the time out of her weekend to meet with me, and from the moment I sat down and started talking with her my mind was put at ease. She was very kind and well-informed on the situation. I hired her right on the spot and from then on whenever I tried contacting her she was always there to answer any questions or even just to calm my nerves. She was prepared and well organized going into trial, and I am happy to say I am driving again! I would strongly recommend Danielle to anyone who is going through this unfortunate circumstance."

- J.R.

Best decision I ever made.

"As a dad, I had full custody of of my two kids. In a desperate attempt to regain custody of our kids, my estranged wife alleged that I had sexually assaulted her causing bodily harm. I was devastated. I spend 30 days in the Remand Center, and my kids went to my family during that time. I hired Danielle Boivert to represent me. Best decision I ever made. She thoroughly explained my options and suggested the best course of action. She went through the steps to take, the trial process, and all the little things in between that I would expect at the trial. The jury selection was an added embarrassment. At trial, she successfully outmaneuver and outwitted the crown at every turn. She cross examined the main witness, my estranged wife, so expertly, that no other witnesses (including myself) had to testify. Danielle had exposed her in so many lies, that he crown dropped the charge!! She preformed a miracle that had saved me and my 2 kids. I would recommend her for anyone facing any criminal charge. She has a keen intellect, an unbelievable memory, and, she actual cares about her client. Best outcome for a real nightmare."

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer

"I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. From the beginning to the very end of this whole process, Michael and his team provided utmost professionalism and completely exceeded any expectations in, and out of the courtroom. I cannot thank Michael and his team enough for their dedication to meet and exceed my requests"

- S.H.

Truly dedicated to every case

"I was little bit sceptical about reviews finding them unreal and too good to be true. But today I am writing one.... In my case it wasn't just about criminal record. If Mr. Oykhman didn't win my case, I was going to lose my Permanent resident, and forced to leave Canada. Thanks to Mr. Oykhman, I am still here and for all the sceptical ones, I can confirm all these reviews are real and he is really top one and truly dedicated to every case. Thanks again Mr. Oykhman."

- D.N.

We are thankful that we had Mr. Luke Faught...

"Over Christmas, Christmas 2016, my son was involved in an extremely unprecedented situation. We are thankful that we had Mr. Luke Faught handle all the criminal issues and challenges. Luke worked so diligently with my son, and honestly and compassionately with family members. Our entire family became aware of not only Luke's high education level, knowledge of Alberta and Canadian law but also his integrity. His patience, lack of prejudice and sincere concern for his clients rates him in the highest levels of ethical professionalism, and with all of the above, uses his skills to resolve cases in a manner that best suits his clients. Thanks again, Luke!"

- C.P.

The end result exceeded my expectations

"The professionalism and mannerism that Michael has definitely were an asset in getting the desired result for my case. With the seriousness of the case the results exceeded my expectations, in very short amount of time. Once things started to go our way he didn't stop until we had gained as much as there was to gain. The end result exceeded my expectations. Thank you Michael!"

- L.O.

TOP NOTCH Lawyer

"Michael is awesome!!!!!!!!! He is the man!!!!!!!!!!! He was able to get all my charges dropped before going to court. I now have my life back!!! I can not thank him enough. TOP NOTCH Lawyer."

- C.L.

I am so glad that I chose him to represent me...

"In my case, I was involved in an unfortunate situation. I read very good reviews about Mr. Oykhman. I am so glad that I chose him to represent me and would highly recommend him if you find that you are also in need of a lawyer. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and client-oriented . Whenever I or my family had a question, he was quick to respond in a timely fashion and provide the answers, never were we left "hanging" or uninformed. He calmly guided us through the judicial process with unparalleled expertise. His fees were more than fair and in fact, much less than I thought they would be. If you are in need of a lawyer, trust the other glowing reviews here seek his representation. Thank you again, Mr. Oykhman! My family and I are so appreciative."

- S.N.

Look nowhere else - highly recommended

"Anyone looking for an awesome lawyer needs to contact Michael! I found myself being pulled over and in a situation where charges for impaired driving were laid. Given what transpired, the outlook of beating the charges looked pretty bleak to me. I contacted Michael after the raving reviews I read about him online. He was very accommodating and went out of his way on a Sunday to meet me. He was professional and honest in assessing my side of the story. The solid advice and confidence he gave in this meeting led me to hand my case to him with zero hesitation or even consulting any other lawyer. I was super impressed with him and his team throughout the whole process: I was kept in the loop and up to date, and had any questions I had answered promptly. He had all the charges dropped with no conditions in advance of the court date! I strongly recommend Michael to anyone who needs a great defence lawyer."

- O.B.

I am forever indebted to Michael and his team and would recommend him ten times over.

"Mistakes can be made very easily in life and sometimes to stop a giant snowball you just have to stand in front of it and get hit. I learned a good lesson from a DUI charge this year. Luckily, Michael Oykhman was recommended to me from a good friend. Michael met with me the Sunday after it happened on his day off. He spent ample time with me to learn my case and figure out how to help without judging me for my mishaps. During the next couple days I even met with some other lawyers in town to cover my due diligence, but all of them barely spent 20 minutes with me. My court date was scheduled far in advanced from my initial charge, but at any time if I had questions I just called Mike and he would be there. When I walked into court an emotional wreck, Michael held things together for me in a professional manner and calmed me down with his demeanour. Due to Michael's delivery of my case, all charges were dropped within the hour and I walked out a free person with no criminal record. I am forever indebted to Michael and his team and would recommend him ten times over. To anyone reading this, you may already be in need of Michael's services, however, use your story to remind others not to make this same mistake. I consider myself very lucky and will take every precaution not to repeat this situation."

- M.S.

Best Lawyer in Town

"After being charged with impaired driving, I retained Michael and am extremely pleased with the services he provided. He is very knowledgeable, professional and understanding. Michael kept me up to date about everything that was happening with my case. Within 3 weeks all my charges were dropped. I would highly recommend Michael as a lawyer to anyone!"

- K.S.

A Guardian Angel...

"A Guardian Angel. Michael answered his phone at 10 o'clock at night and he and his associate helped us navigate the intimidating criminal justice system over the next 72 hours. They were available to us 24/7, clearly explained our options at each step and answered all of our questions promptly. It felt like having a guardian angel watching over us. If you have a criminal matter that you need assistance with, this is the man you need to contact. Thank you again Michael and Elizabeth."

- S

All charges were dropped.

"I was charged with assault for a minor scuffle. I knew I was in good hands with Michael's solid legal advice and preparation for my pending case. Because of his knowledge, advice and legal expertise, all charges were dropped. Michael and his team take pride in providing not only the right result, but quality customer service along the way. I heartily recommend Michael Oykhman to anyone seeking legal counsel!"

- N.P.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer!

"Best Criminal Defense Lawyer! Michael Oykhman kicks ass! He's got me out of 3 separate jams. We're 3 for 3 now Michael. First charge - I was blind drunk at the bar and it got it little out of hand. No problem! 2nd charge - A business competitor was mad because I allegedly unloaded his equipment from his trailer to inspect it. Not an issue with Mike. 3rd charge - Supposedly blew a wee bit over the legal limit - All charges dropped! I don't have a criminal record and it's because of Michael Oykhman. If you want the same thing, use him. If you want to take your chances, use cousin Vinnie. Thanks Michael. See you on the next round!"

- D.D.

Michael is a brilliant lawyer.

"I first contacted Michael after looking him up online in 2013. My life was out of control because of alcohol and poor decisions. I was facing a domestic violence charge, he got the charge completely dropped. In 2015 I got another domestic violence charge and an impaired driving, over .08, and careless driving along with a few other tickets involved in that incident. He got the domestic charge dropped with a peace bond, the impaired, .08 , and all associated tickets dropped as well . I only received a fine for careless driving in all. Again in 2016 I received a refusal to blow on the road side screening device, with other associated charges. I was looking at going to jail. The charges were serious. Including, Driving while disqualified, Failure to comply with condition of undertaking or recognizance (breach of condition) Failure or refusal to comply with demand (refusal to comply with a demand made) Failure to stop at scene of accident, Failure to stop when pursued by police, and Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. A Plea bargain was made, which avoided a 2 day trial. I plead guilty to Dangerous driving and refusal to provide a breath sample. Michael kept me out of jail, had a large fine dropped, and had the other 4 charges dropped. I am very grateful for Michael's dedicated professionalism. He also personally cares for his clients and their life styles. He is very easy to talk to, friendly and understanding of the situation you are in. He has defended me through 2013 to 2016, and is supportive and caring with each and every case. If you want the best defense with assault and impaired charges, I highly recommend Michael Oykhman."

- J.J.C.

Top Lawyer in the Calgary area.

I'm very thankful I found Michael Oykhman...

Contacting Michael put my concerns at ease...

"I was facing a criminal charge as result of a domestic violence incident, contacting Michael put my concerns at ease, and was able to have my charges dropped with no criminal record. If you want to sleep well at night, do not hesitate to contact him, he's known to be one of the very best around, a "stellar" criminal defence lawyer"

- J.K.

I have an extreme amount of gratitude for everything you have done...

"I used Mr. Oykhman's services several times in the past 4 years. I had a drug problem and I incurred about 20 various charges, thankfully I did not do any time in jail. Mike was always there when I needed him, his office was excellent for communication and I even remember getting arrested on a Sunday I phoned Mike and he was able to arrange a bail for me. Mike, I have an extreme amount of gratitude for everything you have done for me and my family. I now have my life back and you are a big reason I am here today. I recently contacted Mike on behalf of a friend and again Mike went above and beyond to help. I truly think Mike gave me my life back and his knowledge of the court system was incredible. I remember going into court with active warrants and getting released. The best legal representation ever but also a personal touch, Mike really cares and it shows."

- M.B.

Michael is one of the best Criminal Defence lawyers

"Michael is one of the best Criminal Defence lawyer's I have ever had work on my case and one of the finest persons I have ever met. He is swift, sharp and works diligently towards your case and is famous for getting charges dropped. He is very easily accessible and responds to urgent phone calls, emails and even text messages - he responded to my emails in real time even after midnight while I'm sure he had court the next morning. I was lucky to have him represent me while I was going through a difficult time in my life and what a breeze of fresh air as he got the charges dropped. I had a few questions days after the case was closed and he answered my queries after closing my file and did not request any compensation for that - unlike many other lawyers in Calgary. Just a nice human being and a through gentleman who genuinely cares about your matter. Money well spent, many thanks Michael, wish you best of luck!"

- O.R.

I highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking counsel

May 2016

"Michael Oykhman has been a blessing to myself and my family. Winning cases for my brother, my sister and myself. For 5+ years of watching Mr. Oykhman work I've seen nothing but a dedicated professional who works hard for every client he has. I highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking counsel."

- T.M.

Very professional, caring and easy to talk to

"Micheal was recommended to me by friends of family that found themselves in very similar situation. He is very professional, caring and easy to talk to. Micheal was able to get all charges dropped, before court and I'd recommend him to anyone else, I know. I can't even put this into words, on how appreciative I am."

- N.A.

I will forever remain indebted to his kindness and professionalism

"Everyone experiences moments of despair where there seems to be little or no options. I experienced one of those moments recently. The economic situation of our province has been difficult to many - after losing my house, my job and my lifestyle, I spent 12 months looking for work. I eventually began to sell any personal property that had some value, then found myself at the end of my capacity to borrow... a long and painful fall from a prestigious management consulting lifestyle to sharing a bathroom with 3 low-income roomates. I reached an all time low when I was faced to the prospect of having no roof over my head. I learned that in the face of total despair, people can make bad choices. I know did. I called a few criminal lawyers for advice but Michael returned my call almost immediately. He knew from my financial situation I would not be able to retain his services, but he took the time to listen, and provided clear, unbiased options that allowed me to recover from my circumstances. He may never know just how critical that crossroads was for me. I will forever remain indebted to his kindness and professionalism."

- S.G.

Many thanks

"Хочу порекомендовать хорошего криминального юриста со знанием русского языка. Попали в ужасную ситуацию и не знали к кому обратиться, что делать. Михаил помог нам, объяснив все требуемые шаги и документы. Дал возможность приготовиться к суду и прийти в себя, осознать что случилось и как справиться с этой огромной проблемой. Он составил список необходимых действий и мы следовали ему. К моменту суда у нас все было готово , а главное, мы были подготовлены Михаилом и знали, что можно ждать в будущем. Огромное ему спасибо за профессионализм, терпение, готовность ответить на все наши вопросы и тревоги. Никто не знает что нас ждет в будущем, но иметь такого человека очень важно для любого из нас."

- D.M.

So thankful that I found Mr. Oykhman

"Earlier this year I found myself in a terrifying position. As an American charged with a refusal to provide a breath sample to an officer of the RCMP I desperately needed help navigating the Canadian justice system. I quickly learned that a conviction would lead to my immigration status being changed to inadmissible to Canada, a country where I spent more than ten years working. A customer of mine insisted I call Michael Oykhman. From my first conversation with Michael that same day I began to see my situation was not hopeless and I had options. Over the next six months Michael worked diligently and professionally on my defense. When I met Michael in person he gave me and my case 100% of his attention and time. Through his hard work and experience Michael was able to make an agreement with the prosecutor that allowed me to continue to work in Canada and therefore keep my job. I never thought I would ever find myself in a position where I would need a criminal defense lawyer. So thankful that I found Mr. Oykhman. I strongly recommend his services."

- B.M.

I can't thank Michael enough

"I can't begin to explain how relieved I am that I had Michael represent me in a DUI case. I have never had so much as a speeding ticket in my life until I was stopped at a checkstop and was charged with blowing over .08. As a professional who needs my vehicle to visit clients for work and with my wife getting close to giving birth to our second child, I thought my life was over. I was desperate to have my situation resolved as soon as possible which seemed like an impossibility without the severe consequences of pleading guilty just to "start the clock" on being able to drive again. After meeting with several lawyers and deciding that my case was definitely worth fighting, I decided that Michael was the one that truly cared about my situation and had the legal skills and social demeanour to quickly resolve my case (hopefully out of court). Through the process Michael explained everything and kept me up to date on how things were progressing. He always made himself available to personally answer any questions I had. In the end Michael pulled off what felt to me like a miracle and got my life back on track in time to save my career and most importantly make up for the burden my situation put on my family. I can't thank Michael enough and would highly recommend him to anyone finding them self in a similar situation to me."

- J.L.

Professional, non judgmental and on your side

"I highly recommend Michael Oykhman to anyone who requires a criminal lawyer. He is professional, non judgmental and on your side.

I highly recommend Michael if you find yourself in need of a criminal lawyer."

I would highly recommend this law firm

"My career depended upon the successful resolution of my matter, and I couldn't have been happier with the way Michael handled my case. He knew right away the best strategy to take to allow me to have my charges withdrawn, and was able to follow through as he promised, for a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend this law firm."

- S.A.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

"Long story short. I found myself in a position that could destroy my future. I was so overwhelmed and every lawyer I spoke to gave me NO hope or even a glimmer of positivity in this difficult period. I emailed Michael and he laid out what he COULD try and do for me and he suggested Ooldouz for my case. I did everything she asked and the outcome was more than I could hope for. A second chance to learn from my stupid mistake and realize the consequences. I am thrilled to say this is my first time I had a run in with the law and definitely my last!! Great experience with this firm. Professional and friendly. They will fight your case to the end!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!"

I called Michael's office and he went out of his way to meet me on a Sunday. He took over my case and had my impaired driving charge dropped, in about 2 months.

- G.L.

"We would highly recommend Luke Faught"

"We would highly recommend Luke Faught. He is an exceptional lawyer who does incredible work, which has the added benefit of his experience as a former Crown Prosecutor. He was available after hours on a Friday evening, when we needed to find a lawyer, and with each visit he was welcoming and positive. Not only did his vast legal knowledge win our case and give us our lives back, but his reassuring and steady manner helped to keep us sane through one of the worst experiences of our lives. This is a good man, who will do amazing work for you!"
