Rabideau Law
Michael Rabideau is a litigation attorney and principal of The Law Offices of Michael T. Rabideau, P.A.. Mr. Rabideau is admitted to practice in courts throughout Florida as well as The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and practices exclusively in the areas of criminal law and Marchman Act / Substance Abuse Law. Mr. Rabideau currently has practice locations in West Palm Beach, FL, Wellington, FL, and Boca Raton, FL. For a number of years, He specialized solely in defending criminal cases but understood that a vast majority of his clients had issues with substance abuse and regularly found themselves in criminal court due to substance abuse. Recognizing that unless the core issue was addressed, many clients would end up back in jail. Therefore, during plea bargaining, he would request treatment services with the aim of recovery rather than jail time. Given his expertise with individuals suffering from the disease of addiction, he extended his practice to also focus on Marchman Act / Substance Abuse Law, with the understanding that an individual could be supported before the addiction spiraled out of control and they ended up in criminal court or worse. Since that time, he has handled numerous Marchman Act petitions on behalf of family members and friends, seeking a better life for their loved one. Mr. Rabideau is a legal attorney and analyst for CBS News, NBC News, and FOX News and has been quoted in media outlets. He is an active member of The Florida Bar Association, The Palm Beach County Bar Association, the NACDL, and the FACDL. In addition to being a commentator for various major TV channels, he is also an part-time professor at Palm Beach Atlantic, where he teaches criminal law.
