Proven Experience and Practical Knowledge
When you are facing a difficult legal problem, you need an attorney you can trust. Someone who is experienced, knowledgeable and skilled. You need a lawyer who is familiar with the local court system and is ready to fight for you at trial.
My name is Michael Darlington. I help clients with family law and criminal defense matters at my offices in Redding and Red Bluff, California. My reputation for providing aggressive, high quality legal counsel is based on 26 years of experience.
Extensive Litigation Work
An effective attorney must be comfortable in the courtroom. Having handled numerous criminal trials, ranging from murder to DUI, I understand the importance of preparing each case as though it will proceed to trial. Today, I use my vast litigation experience to successfully conduct criminal defense and divorce trials.
My experience in the courtroom is not limited to the adversarial side of the bench. For 15 years, I served as Judge Pro Tem in the Family Law Courts of San Bernardino County, California. This allowed me to understand how judges view and decide cases, giving me a well-rounded perspective of legal disputes.
Skillfully Handling Complicated Child Custody Issues
In addition to having extensive experience in the fundamentals of family law, I have concentrated knowledge of child custody issues. For over 10 years, I held the contract to represent minor children in the Rancho Cucamonga Courts in San Bernardino County, California. During that time, I protected the rights of over 500 minors.
Comprehending Intricate Financial Principles
Before practicing law, I worked in the mortgage, finance and banking industry for 20 years. This experience gave me an in-depth comprehension of financial principles, which allows me to understand complicated financial formulas prevalent in a majority of divorce and support cases.
