*****************BY FAR THE BEST********************

I WAS ORIGINALLY CHARGED WITH A SERIOUS FELONY (2ND) OUT OF JUDGE HOLMES COURT AND PLED TO DEFERRED SENTENCE. DURING MY PROBATION COPPELL POLICE ARRESTED AND CARGED ME WITH RESISTING ARREST. OF ALL THE ATTORNEYS I TALKED TO MR. HARSSEMA SEEMED TO HAVE THE MOST KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO HANDLE THE CASE.... HE OBTAINED A PR BOND HOLMES WHEN THE REVOCATION FROM JUDGE HOLMES WAS ORGINALLY A $5000 AND THEN A NO BOND. MR. HARSSEMA THEN, ALTHOUGH IT TOOK 6 MONTHS TO BE FILED, HE WAS RIGHT ON IT FOUGHT FOR OVER A YEAR BUT OBTAINED A DISMISSAL FOR BOTH MY REVOCATION AND MY RESISTING.! HE IS SOMETIMES HARD TO GET AHOLD OF BUT HE WILL ALWAYS CALL YOU BACK. WE PAID 3 TIMES WHAT OTHER ATTORNEYS WERE CHARGING BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH. HAVING GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM, I HAVE REFERRED HIM TO MY GODSON FOR A SIMILAR CASE AND TO MY SISTER IN LAW FOR HER WRONGFUL DEATH CASE. HE IS AWESOME. HE WILL BE ON YOUR SIDE AND IN YOUR COURT AS LONG AS YOU SIGN HIS CONTRACT AND ABIDE BY IT.

RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY!!

Hired Michael to represent me back in July of 2012, Biggest mistake EVER!!! Michael use to be a great attorney and I considered him a friend, until he disappeared on me for several months. He kept using the excuse that his Father was dying... well after Months of not showing up to court, and no respo...nse thru email and phone calls..... I started wondering what kind of Attorney did I really hire??!! He would change his phone numbers constantly. Long story short I fired him after he had been Paid and I left collateral with him and never gave it back!!
