On Friday, April 17, 2015, I was honored to stand beside my client, Lynette Duncan, at Richard.J. Donovan State Prison as we opposed the parole of Brett Thomas, the individual who murdered her sister and father and shot her mother in 1977. We were triumphant in our fight, as Inmate Thomas will not be eligible for parole for another seven years! The picture/link below is a photo which appeared in the Orange County Register of the press conference which was held prior to our de...parture for the prison. My client and I wholeheartedly thank Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas, OCDA Chief-of-Staff Susan Schroeder and Dr. Henry Nicholas, author and founder of Marsy's Law, for their support throughout this process. Marsy's Law is California's Victims' Bill of Rights which was added to the state Constitution in 2008. The amendment was named after Dr. Nicholas' sister, Marsy, who was murdered in 1984. http://www.ocregister.com//duncan-658407-thomas-parole.html

Have a safe and Happy Halloween from the Law Office of Michael L. Fell.

So pleased to welcome Denise Hansen Grimes, Esq. to my firm. This post is long overdue as she is starting her second full-time year practicing with me! She and I were Orange County Deputy District Attorneys together for many years. She practices criminal law, victims rights representation and family law, including divorces, child custody, modifications and anything having to do with marital legal issues. She is such a wonderful addition to my office!

I was proud to represent Lynette Duncan last week -- her mother, father and sister were shot in 1977. She and I traveled with Marsy's Law For All President Andy Hong to argue against parole for Inmate Brett Thomas, one of two men responsible for the killing of her father and sister (her mother survived despite her body being riddles with bullets). Read her compelling story at ocregister.com.

Andrew Gallo was sentenced this morning to 51 years to life for killing Nick, Courtney and Henry and for gravely injuring Jon. It was my honor and privilege to represent these families under Marsy's Law, "The Crime Victims Bill of Rights." The families did an amazing job today in presenting their victim-impact statements to the sentencing judge. Nick, Courtney, Henry and Jon are proud of all of you, I’m sure.

Justice was served today as the killer of my clients, Nick Adenhart, Henry Pearson and Courtney Stewart and the perpetrator of the permanent injuries to Jon Wilhite was convicted this morning of three counts of murder and DUI causing great bodily injury to Jon. It has been an honor and privilege representing these four families under Marsy's Law.

Closing arguments start tomorrow and then the decision will be up to the jury. I feel the defendant and the victims received a fair trial. Let's hope justice prevails.

As many of you know, I represent the families of Nick Adenhart, Henry Pearson, Courtney Stewart as well as Jon Wilhite and his family in the murder trial of Andrew Gallo. This should be an important week as the prosecution should rest by Monday or Tuesday and the case may conclude by Thursday. Keep good thoughts in mind for these wonderful families.

As a former Senior Deputy District Attorney for over 18 years, I know what evidence prosecutors need to win their case. My knowledge of the court system and my reputation for being an ethical, aggressive and experienced attorney allows me to effectively, professionally and compassionately fight for my clients.
