Michael Kiel Kaiser
The Jewish BulldogAfter working as a public defender in courts throughout Pulaski County from 2015 to 2016, Mike understands the potentially life-altering consequences that a single traffic ticket or seemingly minor charge can have on a person's life, let alone a felony. He works hard to ensure that collateral consequences of any arrest or conviction are minimal, thinking about how today's actions may affect clients years down the line. He approaches each case with the same passion and gusto, whether the client faces a fine, a loss of some privilege, or life behind bars. Mike's passion extends beyond his work at Lassiter & Cassinelli. He has spoken to residents at Our House about how to get the most out of their appointed counsel, volunteered at several local Homeless Court events, and takes on multiple pro bono and reduced-fee cases annually.
Mike has represented thousands of Arkansans accused of crimes, focusing primarily on the areas drug crime; DWI; juvenile delinquency; and criminal appeals. Mike is a proud graduate of THE Little Rock Central High School, an avid cyclist, and an active volunteer with the local Jewish Food Festival.

- Q. In the state of arkansas is it illegal for the law to bust in your home before 6am.??
- A: Generally, law enforcement must execute a search warrant between the hours of 6am and 8pm. That is pursuant to Rule 13.2(c) of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure. However, there are exceptions if the issuing judge finds: 1) the place to be searched is difficult of speedy access; or 2) the objects to be seized are in danger of imminent removal; or 3) the warrant can only be safely or successfully executed at nighttime. However, the judge would have to make such a finding in the warrant (or affidavit for the warrant) itself. Definitely something you need to visit with an attorney about as an illegal nighttime search without permission from a judge may be a good argument in favor of suppression. Speak with your public defender or private counsel ASAP.
