I don’t normally get involved in writing reviews for professional services, but when people go above and beyond what is normally expected, I can’t “not” take the time to give praise, where praise is due and let others know! I required legal representation a few years back, Micheal Mines and Ryan Johnson came highly recommended. I hired Micheal after the initial meeting and interview, I hoped for the best outcome, whatever that might be.

Micheal and Ryan work seamlessly together and are extremely professional. I may add, they are obviously very well connected in Vancouver. Together, they managed to obtain the very best possible outcome in my case, which is the best anybody can hope for when dealing with these difficult and complicated situations. I highly recommend this legal team! Quite obviously the very highest level of service in Vancouver.

Ryan Johnson defended me against crown for a potential impaired driving charge. I chose Ryan because of his caring and attentive demeanor. I made the right choice as the charge was reduced to a traffic fine. Ryan was even kind enough to accommodate a payment plan for me. Thank you again for everything.

I was charged for fraud under $5000 in September 2018 and I hired Mr. Mines to work on my case. He did his best, and got my charges dropped before the Christmas holidays because he wanted me to feel relaxed during Christmas. He is absolutely a professional, responsible, and understanding lawyer. Before I hired him, I talked to couple of other lawyers. Not only was their fee higher, but also the way they talked to me, I felt like my situation was hopeless. But as soon as I talked to Mr. Mines, he assured me that he would find a solution. Every time I called him  to ask about the progress of my case, he kindly answered me. In all, Mr. Mines has great sense of responsibility, humanity and is a total professional. I was really happy to have chosen him to represent me. I feel like he saved my life!  Now, a year later, I called him to request that the police destroy my “non-conviction” record and Mr. Mines  kindly agreed to do this for no extra fee.

I hired Michael after running into issues, not only was Michael professional, we won the case. I would recommend Michael for any criminal law matters in Canada, this man knows his stuff. He was able to prevent me from going to jail, even though a warrant was out for me, he was able to get it executed even without me going to jail and no fingerprint and mugshots. Armed with video evidence and knowledge of the law, we were able to get the case dismissed and no criminal record. Michael kept me informed through the process and telling me what my options were at each stages of the process. At the end, truth prevailed and we won. After the case was dismissed, he got the court and VPD to remove all records. He then recommended me to another lawyer to handle some immigration issues I ran into as a result of being accused of assault. Also I can go now travel and work in Canada without any issues.

I can’t thank Ryan enough for his work on my assault case. Early one morning I was unexpectedly thrust into the criminal system and found myself overwhelmed and highly stressed by what was happening. Literally an hour after being released from jail I found Mineslaw through search engine and met with Ryan the next day. Throughout my case Ryan was compassionate to my situation and reassuring of a positive outcome. He attended all my court appearances and kept me up-to-date with all the proceedings. He used his knowledge and negotiating skills to get me into the Alternative Measures Program and wrapped up all the details. Thank you so much! It’s such a relief to have this nightmare come to an end. I highly recommend Ryan and Mineslaw to anyone who needs an outstanding defence lawyer. Truly top notch. Thank you!

Thank you Michael. I appreciate your honesty right up front as the first time I came in I felt safe with you representing me as my legal guide. You are a great man and are a greatly hospitable person. As much as we didn’t have to go to trial, it shows how much a name like yours carries weight going into trial. So, thank you again. You really made a difference!

Michael was very knowledgeable, gave me multiple options, didn’t question my choice and prepared a very good defence which resulted in the best possible result at trial: Not Guilty.

Michael Mines cut through the small talk pleasantries and had an amiable straight-forward way of explaining my options. He listened to what I wanted and didn’t try to coerce me into anything else. I had an IRP and if it were not for Mike pulling though it would have negatively impacted my life for years. Thank you Mike and Mines & Company.

I met Ryan Johnson at the worst time of my life: my ex-wife lied to the police and got me arrested for an assault with a weapon. Scheduling the meeting with Ryan was simple and quick, and he assured me that he will fight to make sure that I will not be convicted of a crime I did not commit. Ryan stayed strong and focused on his tactics even when I thought there is no hope to avoid trial. After 5 months of negotiations with a very hostile Crown, we had no choice and a trial was scheduled. Even then, Ryan stayed optimistic and confident that he could get a stay of proceedings. After 2 more months of negotiations, and with amazing human interaction skills, Ryan managed to convince the trial Crown to meet my ex-wife and consider a stay. Shortly after that my case was stayed and done, saving me thousands of dollars and months of uncertainty. During these 8 months Ryan showed amazing defence lawyering skills and support. It was Ryan Johnson’s skill and patience that led to this perfect result!
