Good Lawyer

Michael was very professional and polite while handling my case. Easy to talk to and isn't hard to contact. He was on time and handled the matter in a sufficient amount of time. Michael turned 3 offenses into 1 minor offense. If you're looking for a good lawyer that cares Michael is your guy.

Great attorney

Michael Cuellar was my attorney for a motor vehicle accident I was in. Michael was always available for any questions that I had. He is very smart and friendly. I was very comfortable having having him as my attorney. Very easy to talk to. He did work aggressively to get my case settled and always c...alled for my approval.

Update your contacts with Mike Cuellar's information

Mike has been extremely proactive with my husbands case. He asks questions you would never think would be relevant to the case and provides details as to why such information is relevant. If we had issues with getting information from a third party he will jump to assist in getting such information. ... Most of all he cares about the well being of his clients and doesn't judge you for the reason you need his help, he our attorney who is now a friend. He's worth more than he charges.

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

Michael Cuellar is an excellent personal injury attorney. I have consulted with Michael on several occasions for a second opinion on my own cases. He is extremely knowledgeable and always gives well-reasoned advice. He would be my first call if I needed a PI attorney for myself or a loved one. I... am proud to call him a colleague and a friend.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
