Saved my Life

This is the guy you want to have in your corner! Even in my case as court appointed, he gave his all. Thoroughly does his research. Successfully defended me for an almost impossible charge ( 3x over the legal limit DWI due to a bad blood draw).. Can’t say he could do this exact thing for anyone, you... don’t know my circumstances.. …… but I know I researched online and I couldn’t find any case like mine defended in Texas with a positive result.. He is literally an imposing gentle giant that pulls no punches in the courtroom…I’d give 100 stars if I could.

As a long term Disability advocate I would encourage you to employ Micah as your attorney specifically for persons with Mental Health challenges. Micah is a compassionate, frightfully intelligent advocate. My family could not be more satisfied with the evolved performance provided in court while advo...cating for our loved one. Grayson County is fortunate to have this type of legal advocate. We also applaud the fact that he reaches out to additional counties.
