DWI

I hired Micah for a DWI that I had gotten in Collin County. I knew I was not guilty and I needed someone that was going to fight for me. I was so scaired and didn't know what was going to happen. I had a jury trial and wasn't sure how Micah was going to do. He was awsome. With Micah's hard work he was able to convince the jury that I was not guilty. He is truly a excellent lawyer. Micah loves what he dose and loves to help people. He will fight for you and will do 100% to make sure you win your case. Thank you Micah you are awsome.

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 advocating 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.

Great attorney!

Micah was the 2nd attorney I hired for my DWI. Every time he said he would see me, he did. No empty promises with this guy. Very thorough and he explained everything where the lay person could understand it. I knew from the beginning what I was up against. Very humble, when I asked why he didn't practice in a larger location where he would obviously benefit more financially, he simply replied, "the people here need me." You're right, Micah. They do.

Got the upmost respect for his clients

Micah is very respectful and curitious to his clients. My brother has metal issues and Micah made that clear to the d.a. and instead of them putting him in the jail, Micah got him the help he needs. I recommend Micah to anyone who is wanting to hire a lawyer that doesn't judge you, has compassion for you and is willing to treat you like a person of worth.

Best Attorney

Throughout my whole case that took over a year I hired 2 different lawyers Micah was my 3rd lawyer. He was the only one that did what they said they were gonna do. He truly helped me and I was blessed to have him. I would recommend him for anyone that has a Felony case.

Couldnt be more pleased with Mr. Belden

My only problem is there aren't more than 5 stars to rate Mr. Belden! He definitely gained my utmost respect with how courteous, professional, and helpful him and his staff were with any question or concern i had throughout the whole process. I could contact him on any given day and he would strive to assist to the best of his ability. I have recommended Micah to many people and will continue to do so. I'm very grateful for the professionalism and knowledge of law this firm holds. Definitely the person to contact when you need legal counseling!!

Director of a Hospital

Micah did a great job on a couple of cases for us. Was helpful before and after the case was settled. Thought the outcome of the case was better than what we expected.

Amazing lawyer

Micah Belden was amazing. Easy to talk to and work with. He took the time to explain procedures to me and made it so I never had to set foot in a courtroom. Mr. Belden was more than willing to answer all my questions. Everything was resolved in the best possible way. All around perfect experience in a stressful situation.

I hired Mr. Belden for a DWI case. He was very well prepared for my case and was very aggressive with my defense. I was able to get a great deal due to his capabilities. I would certainly recommend him to anyone.

Grandparents Rights

After my ex-inlaws put a grandparents right suit in place, I was very unhappy with two area lawyers whom I had hired to defend my case. I then found Micah Belden. He was not afraid to stand up for My Rights as a Mother. With the work and knowledge of Mr. Belden, the judge ruled in my favor. Thanks be to Mr. Belden for his work because now my children do not have to visit their grandparents against their wishes.
