If you have been arrested or charged with a crime you need experienced representation now, before investigative leads grow stale and the government solidifies its position. Marin County criminal defense attorney Michael Coffino's results in the courtroom speak for themselves. Dubbed the "best attorney money can't buy" by the Marin Independent Journal, he has successfully handled thousands of criminal cases and has 20 years of experience.
Mr. Coffino has won acquittals at trial in cases of all kinds - from homicide, rape, molestation and kidnapping prosecutions to drunk driving, assault, drug possession, burglary and weapons cases. His reputation for aggressive litigation also translates to favorable outcomes short of trial -- whether that means a dismissal, diversion out of the criminal system, drug treatment instead of jail, or creative solutions for his clients that just make the problem go away.
Mr. Coffino routinely seeks dismissals based on police misconduct and other violations of his clients' constitutional rights under the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.

Mike is 110% the best choice for a defense attorney.
When we first called him, we were nervous, scared, and completely ignorant of the criminal justice system.
His thorough knowledge and thoughtful approach helped us achieve the best possible outcome: a full dismissal of all charges.
He does all of this with kindness, respect and a sense of humor.
I never want to have to hire a defense attorney again, but if I did- I would call Mike immediately.
The DA was trying to persecute me on some weak charges.
