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.

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 serv...ice 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!!

The right choice

By far the best money I could have ever spent. Attorney Bixon went way past my expectations and helped me get exactly what I was looking for in my case. He was knowledgeable, quick to answer questions, and was always there whenever I needed him. Without a doubt I would recommend him to anyone look...ing for a criminal defense attorney.

Never been happier

Micheal Bixon won my DUI case back in 2014. We won a jury trial and it was a personal victory for me as well. I believe everything in life is energy and the energy that he has is extra ordinary. His compassion and understanding about my situation was amazing. His awareness and ability to choose the j...urors was genius and his skills and string self confidence was critical to the outcome of my case. The chemistry he created in those two days of trial was outstanding. Something I will never forget is that he kept me smiling in the middle of my concerns while in trial. I highly recommend him as your attorney. C. Ramos

Posted by Susan | October 16, 2012 | Criminal Defense

Attorney Michael Bixon made the difference in my son's case.

Michael Bixon represented my son in an attempt to obtain drugs case. He was facing several years in prison. My son ended up with a 2-yr probation, eventually getting into a 1-yr drug rehabilitation program. Mr. Bixon is an extremely good attorney, cares about his clients and comes to court well pr...epared. I recommend him to anyone needing excellent criminal defense.
