The Attorney You Meet in My Office Is the Same Attorney Who Will Stand Beside You in Court

For more than 25 years, I have defended individuals facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I understand that when you are charged with a crime, the stakes are high. Your freedom, your reputation, your career, and your family may all be on the line.

My commitment is straightforward: listen carefully, tell you the truth, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible outcome. At Kielty Law, you will never be handed off to an associate or treated like a case number. From our first meeting through the resolution of your case, you will work directly with me.

Every client deserves an attorney who is prepared, accessible, and fully invested in the result. I take pride in providing personal attention, clear communication, and aggressive representation when it matters most.

When you hire Kielty Law, you are choosing an experienced trial attorney who understands what is at stake and who is prepared to stand with you every step of the way.

Mike was born and raised right here, with deep roots in this community — the same courthouses, the same towns, the same people he's spent a lifetime around. That local standing matters, but so does what he brings into a courtroom: a commanding presence and confident demeanor that judges respect, juries trust, and opposing counsel can't rattle. He has never backed down from a fight yet, and he never will.

When he's not in a courtroom, Mike enjoys traveling, fishing, and spending time with his family and friends.

When you hire Mike, you get Mike.

Not an associate you've never met. Not someone fresh out of law school standing in at your court date. Mike — at every appearance, every negotiation, every trial.

A Boutique Firm, On Purpose

Kielty Law is deliberately small. Discrete. Professional. Personal. Volume firms run on settlement math; Mike runs on outcomes. Every client gets his cell-phone responsiveness, his preparation, and his presence in the courtroom. We take care of our people — it's not a slogan, it's how the firm operates.

My Commitment to You

  • I will listen carefully — your side of the story is where the defense starts.
  • I will tell you the truth — about your case, your options, and your odds. No sugarcoating, no scare tactics.
  • I will protect your rights — against unlawful stops, searches, and statements.
  • I will fight for the best possible outcome — and I'm prepared to take it to a jury to get it.
