"Michael Mowla is hands down one of the best criminal appellate lawyers in the state. HE IS THE LAWYER THAT LAWYERS CONSULT WHEN THEY HAVE AN IMPORTANT LEGAL ISSUE. HE IS NO NONSENSE, NO FLUFF AND CARES AS MUCH AS ANY ATTORNEY I KNOW ABOUT FIGHTING FOR HIS CLIENT'S RIGHTS. YOU CANNOT DO BETTER THAN MICHAEL MOWLA. As you can tell, I feel pretty strongly about this opinion."

"Hands down Michael is the smartest attorney I know. His knowledge is encyclopedic. If you have Michael on your team you will know twice as much about the case and the law as the other side, and that translates into wins. I am proud to endorse Michael."

"I fully endorse Michael Mowla as one of the most fantastic, and knowledgeable attorneys in the entire DFW Metroplex. It is natural for an attorney to have questions on certain given issue with regards to the practice of law. I believe the mark of a good attorney dedicated to their practice is putting forth the effort into trying to tirelessly find solutions to problems. I personally post questions I have on a variety of criminal-defense related topics on list-serves. Without fail, Michael Mowla not only provides an incredibly fast response - but has a valid legal answer to most any question I've asked. He truly possesses one of the strongest legal minds I've ever encountered. He knows the law, and has practical ways to help share his experience and knowledgeable with others. He has a level of technical knowledge of the law that is unparalleled. I would not take advice from anyone, other than one who I hold in a tremendously high regard."

"Michael was quick to provide insight into a pretrial issue one of my cases presented. In fact he's working to change the law on the very issue we discussed. When I need help with an appeal he'll be the first person I'll call."

"Michael is an outstanding attorney--he is the attorney many of his colleagues, including myself, would turn to if they needed an attorney. He is brilliant, hard-working, compassionate, and genuine. I am blessed to be able to work with him. If I could endorse Michael for all of his practice areas, I would."

"I have asked Mr. Mowla various questions relating to Criminal Defense and have always received text book answers that not only provided me with the needed information, but usually also received additional information and explanation that taught me rather than simply gave me the immediate need."

"Mr. Mowla is a remarkable resource for the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. He tirelessly assists members by responding to hundreds of questions yearly. His understanding of the law is as deep and thorough as any attorney I have encountered throughout Texas."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Any lawyer who knows him will tell you that Mr. Mowla is a walking encyclopedia of criminal law. More importantly, he is never shy about sharing what he knows in order to help others. He is always ready and willing to help when another lawyer needs a quick primer on an unfamiliar area of law, or just needs a citation to the case on the tip of his tongue. Countless lawyers around Texas--and their clients--owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Mowla for the part he played in their successful outcome. Mr. Mowla is at the top of a very short list of lawyers I would consider hiring for myself or my family."

"Michael Mowla is a lawyer's lawyer and I say that with the deepest level of respect. Michael is someone whom you can count upon to have a very through understanding of the law and how it applies to a client's situation. His knowledge is encyclopedia like in that he is routinely able to cite court opinions that not only fit a certain situation, but help other lawyers see the small differences between victory and defeat. I know of many lawyers and judges who have cited whole sections of Michael Mowla's writings as the gospel truth in the hope that they will appear as smart as Michael. However Michaels writings are just the tip of his knowledge. If knowledge is the power that can enlighten an age, Michael is the type of leader who will bridge generations in their quest for truth."
