Biography

Michael A. Schillinger, Esq., is a criminal defense attorney currently serving the New York City Metropolitan area. With offices in Suffolk County and Queens County, Mike frequently assists clients with criminal defense matters in Suffolk, Queens, Nassau, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.

Before becoming a criminal defense attorney, Mike was a prosecutor in the Queens County District Attorney's Office where he handled numerous cases, ranging from misdemeanors all the way up to serious violent felonies, including attempted homicides and kidnapping cases. He uses that experience to help him represent every single client that hires him.

As a former prosecutor, Mike knows how to negotiate with the District Attorney's Office to work towards a resolution on his client's cases. And when a resolution can't be reached, Mike uses his experience to fight hard for his clients both in and out of the court room.

Whether it's a minor traffic infraction, or a serious felony, Mike understands that every single case he's retained on is the most important thing happening in his client's life, and therefore he treats each client with the respect and empathy that they deserve. With that in mind, he offers clients 24/7 access to him for emergencies, and ensures that his clients remain updated every step of the way.

Call Mike today to schedule a free consultation so he can start fighting for you.
