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 and 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 the 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.

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 followed 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.

Just amazing
This review is long overdue. I cannot begin to express what a quality individual and fantastic attorney Michael is. He is kind, communicative, knowledgeable, professional, and even funny which is nice in heavier situations where you need a little levity to offset the seriousness and emotional burden of a situation. I heard he was available day and night and was in panic mode at 11 PM when I called him for the first time; he not only accepted my call at that hour and dealt with my hysterical self, but also was able to ease my nerves over the situation. He genuinely cares about his clients and he was able to save me a boatload in fines too. You are not going to find a better person to represent you in Atlanta.

Saved my hide. Highly recommend
Michael represented me this month for a horrendous dui. I was astonished at the overall result of the case. If I could rate him higher than 10/10, I would! His pricepoint is under all the other offers I received from multiple law offices. He followed up with me on his personal line when I needed counsel pertaining to the case. Most importantly he kept me from doing any jail time. I had a blood alcohol content of 0.272...just about as bad as it gets...along with otherparty favors in my system. I was involved in a terrible hit and run with multiple vehicles that could've ended terribly. Originally I believe I had been charged with numerous hit and runs,dui,dwi drugs, reckless driving, improper backing, etc....I think 14 charges or something. The city court district Attorney had offered me 120days in jail as my offer, so needless to say-I was sweating myself pretty hard. Michael was able to drop all convictions except Dui alcohol and failure to report an accident. He also stretched my arraignment from 2014 to 2017 so I could still keep my license afterwards. I wound up with 40 hours comm service, dui class, etc...the usual. No jail time! I'm so grateful for this outcome, and have Michael to thank. I would highly recommend him in nearly any circumstance, and will certainly call him if I ever need defense in the future again. A++++

My brother and I couldn't ask for anything more from their defense attorney. Good representation is hard to find. If you're in need of good criminal legal assistance, Mike Bixon will represent you well.

Outstanding Criminal Attorney
Mr. Bixon is a true negotiator and knows how to argue points of law; not only with other Attorney's but also with Judges. As I witness on my case! I was charged with Pandering and Mike was able to negotiate my charge down to "Criminal Trespass"; upon serving six months probation and community service the case will be sealed under the first offender act. Mike argued the point of law with the Judge regarding the terms of the first offender statue. Instead of one year probation; Mike reminded/argued the point with the Judge that it could be less than one year; once the sentencing of community service is met and no other violations occur during the probation period; regardless if it's 6 months or one year. Mike also is helping me remove the ugly internet mugshots that can be damaging in the world we live in today!! Mike uses his calm personality and knowledge of the law; to speak with authority in the court room. Mike also explains the process; step by step. He told me before we even started the court process that my case would be dismissed and did even better by reducing the charge and dismissing that charge after the probation is completed and sealing it with the first offender act! Mike is a "Champion" when it comes criminal law. Thanks Mike!!

Professional Criminal Defense Attorney
Attorney Bixon was professional throughout the entire process. He ensured me that he would be available when I needed to meet him and would go after the best outcome for me! He was successful in obtaining a pre-trial diversion for me which would result in no criminal record! He saved my life and secured my future and I am thankful for his commitment and services! He is poised and confident and knows the court system and the law! I would endorse his services to anyone who may need legal representation! Go Bixon!

Simply the Best!!
This is the first time I have ever written a rewiew, so safe to say I am extremely happy with Michael Bixon's legal represenation. I hired Michael to represent me in a TPO hearing I filed. Michael lead me through this scary process flawllessly, not only was he compassionate to my situation be he was on point every step of the way during the trial. His calmness and confidence in the courtroom is something I am still in awe of. His wealth of knowledge of the legal system ultimately won my case, in which I recieved 12 month restraining order and jail time for the man who assualted me. I would reccomend Micheal to anyone, as I believe he is simply the best. I can't express my gratitude enough for his representation!

Fantastic Lawyer
Attorney Michael Bixon was very helpful and responsive with my First Offender case. He was very quick about negotiating a plea for me during my hearing. I had reached out to him a few days to my court date and he was very professional and delivered on the terms of our agreement. I would definately recommend him based on my experience.

Mike did what needed to be done and then some to make sure that my matter was resolved correctly. I am so glad that we made the call the outcome of the case could have been much more different. I would most certainly recommend Mike Bixon as an attorney.

Anonymous Criminal Matter
Michael Bixon turned out to be top notch. He looked out for my interests and was timely and on top of the matter. He kept me well informed of everything going on in my case. He arrived at court before I did and had the matter settled before my arrival. When I arrived for court I sat for approximately 15minutes, signed the paperwork, went before the judge and was out in about a total of 20 minutes. I can say how pleased I was with the outcome of the situation. I don't think they come any better than Mr. Bixon.
