Before even talking to me or even discussing any merits of my case, allow me to pose any questions, etc. an assistant goes directly to pricing, and in my humble opinion all things considered in these appeal cases when someone has been oppressed and done wrong they’ve incurred plenty of damages in life The size from emotional, and I found a retainer to be quite inhumane and lacking compassion. In addition, not even a realistic payment plan is offered I think our better attorneys out there who possess more heart.
I have referred multiple people to Michael Ufferman for criminal appeals and post conviction relief. He is a brilliant legal mind and scholar. He advocates zealously for his clients and I recommend him highly when life and liberty are on the line. He is the best.

When everything else had failed and against all odds, Attorney Michael Ufferman came through! I highly recommend him. Michael is extremely knowledgeable, competent, caring, and always goes the extra mile. I am forever grateful. Thank you, Michael, and the whole supporting staff!

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to thanking Michael Ufferman. Hiring him was the best decision I ever made during the toughest chapter of my life. When I was facing the weight of my conviction, I felt lost and hopeless, but Michael gave me something I hadn’t felt in a long time—hope. From our first meeting, he listened to me like I was family, not just another case. He took the time to really get what I was going through and explained everything in a way that made sense, no matter how complicated the legal stuff got.
Michael’s brilliance as an appellate attorney showed in every step of my appeal. He fought for me with a kind of passion and determination that’s hard to put into words. Thanks to his hard work and incredible knowledge, he got my conviction overturned in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. I still get emotional thinking about that moment—it gave me my life back. He wasn’t just my lawyer; he was my lifeline, always there to answer questions and keep me grounded.
What sets Michael apart isn’t just that he’s a top-notch lawyer (though he absolutely is—board-certified and all!). It’s his heart. He treated me with so much kindness and respect, like my future mattered to him personally. If you’re looking for someone to fight for you and truly care, Michael Ufferman is your guy. I owe him everything, and I’ll never stop recommending him. Five stars don’t feel like enough!
I hired Mr. Ufferman 10 years ago, he brought me through a juvenile resentencing where due to his unparalleled skill my sentence was reduced from a natural life sentence to the minimum term of 40 years. He was so good that the Honorable Judge Howard even commented at the end of my hearing that he wasglad that other younger attorneys were present to watch how an appeal should be conducted at its highest level. He was always present for me when I had questions or even doubts. He fought for me, not just doing the required legal work but he actually fought until he saw me released from prison on July 26th, 2024 where on that day he and Audra Bryan walked me from imprisonment. No other attorney in my 26 years of fighting in the courts has ever demonstrated the tenacity or intellectual capacity of Michael Ufferman. I would not be free today without him. He is more than just an exceptional attorney, he is an exceptional person whom I respect as a lawyer and as a man.
The old joke goes, "99% of Attorneys make the other 1% look BAD!" Well, Michael Ufferman is absolutely in that "1%". My name is Jeremy Brown and I retained Michael Ufferman and his firm to represent me in my appeal of a false Federal Conviction. Having worked with numerous other attorneys over the course of 19 months, I had been disappointed at nearly every turn, but working with Michael and his staff was a breath of fresh air. Michael gave me the sense that, not only did he care about the outcome of my appeal, but that he actually cared about me personally. Our meetings were open discussions about not just the letter of the law, but also legal theories, philosophy and intent, as a team, not an "I'm an attorney and this is the way it is" ego session. Michael's knowledge, professionalism and ability to explain complex legal scenarios meant the world to me and provided a level of comfort and confidence that's priceless when your waiting has to take place in a jail cell. But as important as all that was, nothing was more important than the fact that WE WON and I write this review as a FREE MAN! If I could, I'd give him 50 stars! My gratitude for Michael Ufferman and his Team can never be captured in words. He easily gets my highest recommendation and deepest respect. Thank you Michael and Team!
We spoke to the office staff this time. Looking forward to meeting in person with Mr. Ufferman soon.

Update:
We met with Mr Ufferman. I really appreciated his concern and encouragement. Hoping for a good outcome in the appeal.
I am sorry that we were not successful in this case. Unfortunately, results cannot be guaranteed. I try my best to win every case and I do that by thoroughly reviewing the record, researching multiple legal angles, and writing briefs to present the issues to the appellate court. Although we were not successful in this case, I have been able to win a number of appeals. I apologize for your experience and not receiving the outcome you had hoped for.
Michael Ufferman was a light for me and my family in the darkest time of our life.
He, his firm , and His Associate, Don Pumphrey went the extra mile, every day, for years. They never gave up! Today I am home, and living my best life, after doing 18 years in a living hell. Their dedication , helped me maintain my Sanity for many years, and they stand as a safeguard, against our corrupt legal system. IF you find yourself in a terrible spot, and need a tenacious champion, Michael and Don, are the Tom Brady’s of this generation, in the post conviction Arena.
Thank you Guys. You are the best!

Mr Ufferman handled my Father’s appeal after we had the carpet ripped out from under us. His knowledge and professionalism are well known and I challenge you to find a better appeals attorney in the state. One thing that sets him apart more than that, though, is his heart. His advocacy has no bounds and he and his office staff not only were successful in helping us, but offered us the support we needed to get through the process. You are in more than capable hands with this team.

Thank you, Kim!

For the past 7 years Mr. Ufferman has represented my daughter. He was able to reduce her life sentence to 30 years and recently her sentence was reduced to 25 years. I highly recommend Mr. Ufferman! He is an excellent attorney and very effective!
