Never Trust Your Livelihood to this Man.

He treated me TERRIBLY! I had retained Mike on a charge and he conferred with the DA and then told me they were either going to not prosecute or they were going to wait a long time to do it. It was a good while before they filed charges but by then they had filed 2 counts of the same offense. He d...emanded double the payment I had made for 1 count. When I told him I couldn't pay, he left me in jail. I ended up on 10 yrs probation with 6 months in jail due to not having but a court-appointed lawyer. Mike seemed to me to have good legal skills, but I never quite found out because this slick guy left me high & dry in the county jail. He didn't offer a payment plan for that second count. But seeking money for the second one was strange since ALL he had ever done was tell me they probably weren't going to prosecute--so all in all he got his fee for one talk with the DA. I hope he's changed; this happened quite a few years ago, but the felony convictions still haunt me this many years later. Mike, I hope you're better than that now that you've got a fancy Dallas firm. BEWARE.

I have looked through my records and don’t see where I had a client named Tom who fit this fact pattern. This does not sound like something we would do or how we handle those situations. Please call my office and I will set up a time to talk with you about this situation.
