Michael Kennedy - Attorney At Law

Because of the sheer volume and percentage wins of my criminal motion practice in the late '80's, when I would often have more motions on the Indio calendar alone than would the entire public defender's office, the vast majority of which would be won outright, I was dubbed "Captain Motion" by the local supervising judge of the criminal division. That nom du guerre has remained with me, and I am so billed in my many and ongoing lectures to various attorney groups about how they can improve their efforts in defense of our constitutional form of government.

I have won many, many cases, big and small, at the preliminary hearing, motion, and trial stage, and I am quietly consulted by people who work in the system, who recognize that I am the ultimate "go-to" person in this craft.

With nearly three decades of trial and appellate experience, I have successfully assisted, counseled, and represented people suspected of or accused of virtually every sort and level of crime, from First Degree Murder, to other assaultive crimes, to drug crimes, to Drunk Driving, to various other felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions, and I have taught other attorneys who handle the same sorts of cases. I have successfully represented those accused of committing offenses as juveniles, and I have taught other attorneys who handle those sorts of cases.

John D. Rockefeller [whose adjusted fortune exceeded that of Bill Gates] once said that if you know how much money you have, then you don't have that much. I have had so many successes, in motions, writs, appeals, and trials, that they cannot be recalled, let alone recounted here nor anywhere. Nor is it helpful to give anecdotal examples of the outcomes of any cases, because the facts there are unlikely to match the facts of any other case, which could create unreasonable expectations, or insufficient expectations, regarding anyone's own case. Suffice it to say that I am to criminal law success what John D. Rockefeller was to monetary wealth, as is well known to those with intimate knowledge of my exploits over the decades.
