A thankful client!

2/12/2024 - MY HEART HAS BEEN RESTORED AND MY FAMILY IS ONE AGAIN. BIG CONGRATS to ATTORNEY MICHAEL BIXON who is an amazing and very knowledgeable lawyer! Mr. Bixon has stood strong with us since Nov 2020. My son who was instantly taken into custody and facing charges that could have ended out with ...his life being lost to the system, was proven SELF DEFENSE and CASE DISMISSED!!!

The Best Lawyer! Hands Down

Man where do I start! Micheal is the best hands down. I have a case that has been going on for a few years due to covid. The claims are false but I’ve never dealt with anything like this before so stressed is an understatement, throughout that time I’ve dealt with so much stuff in and out of court an...d it hasn’t mattered if I just need answers, I’ve needed him to type letters to allow me to work, he fought for me when the prosecutor tried to take my passport and place me on a travel band and any other situations or questions I have he answer’s literally within minutes usually. If he’s available, and if he’s not he will let you know and get back with you. I’ve never had to call him twice. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and confident which makes you feel confident and glad he’s on your side. He also doesn’t bs, if he doesn’t have a confident answer he doesn’t just tell you something no matter how much you want to hear it, he keeps it real and I respect that a lot. Michael brother I hope this review shows my gratitude because I appreciate everything you’ve done

Very professional and caring

Mr Mike Bixon is an attorney that highly demonstrates the care and support one needs at times of challenges. He responds to your calls and texts ay any time of the day, takes the time to explain the details, above all listens very carefully and guides you through the process. Mike guided us through t...he process, didn’t rush us to make decision and when he handled our case, he put a comprehensive filing and were very impressed. I highly recommend Mike for legal representation; you will not be disappointed.

Successfully removed from Sex Offender Registry

I first met with Michael for a consultation to discuss the issues of my past case and after speaking with Micheal, I felt that I had choose the right Attorney. He was upfront and honest with me in regards to the outcome of my motion. He was (is) very professional, listened to what I had to say, and f...ollowed through with all of my requests as to sending me information and copies related to my case. He returned all of my calls, texts, and emails in a timely fashion. Furthermore, he truly fought for me while we were in court and presented all of the pertinent information needed for a successful outcome. Thanks again Michael.

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.
