Michael Is Preeminent In His Profession!!
There is NOTHING I can say that can adequately describe the absolutely phenomenal attorney that Michael is!! He definitely goes way beyond the call of duty!! He is of rare character and truly a man of ethics, heart, and integrity. You will not find a finer attorney or one who has your best interest at heart as he does!! He is extremely dedicated to his clients and without a doubt knows what it takes to win. With his expertise and superior knowledge, you can rest assured that you will have no less than maximum results in your case!! Michael restored my confidence in the justice system with his fervent and intense obligation to uphold justice! He is unsurpassed in his ability to aggressively fight and defend his clients as an unrivaled, immovable advocate!! He uses precise, strategic methods to unravel the most complicated issues and is incredibly prompt to devise a plan that accomplishes thorough, concrete results!
My case was a custody/child support issue that involved dealing with an extremely underhanded, manipulative ex-husband who thought he was above the law. He had managed to hide and run from the law for years to avoid paying his child support. Once found and ordered to pay, he thought he would use the law to maliciously harass me and my daughter by suing me with false allegations and threats, forcing me to hire an attorney to defend myself. I made the grave mistake of hiring an attorney who did not have the experience or heart my case required. This decision was costly and thrust me into major financial debt with no results!
Then I found Michael! From the first consultation, Michael knew what it was going to take to hit it hard and saw right through my ex-husband’s ploy. In the court room, within just minutes of cross examining my ex-husband, Michael was able to expose his intimidating tactics and reveal to the judge his true character! He used such wisdom and was not only able to get us the full amount of child support, plus the 13 years of back pay that was owed, but he fought for and won back every bit of my attorney’s fees!! It was an unbelievable victory!!
It is an honor and a privilege to have Michael as my attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone!!
Michael, I can never say thank you enough for what you did in fighting for us and helping my daughter and I through one of the most trying times in our lives. You are an answer to prayer and I thank God for sending you; you are the BEST and a true “officer of the court”!!

AMAZING ATTORNEY!
Mr. Wysocki is an extremely amazing and passionate family lawyer. I admire and am impressed by his professional character, behavior, attitude, style, and organization. His legal evaluations and assessments are very well made and presented based on his expertise, experience, and strong knowledge of the laws. I was truly amazed by the outcome of my case as it was resolved very quickly and much to my benefit and satisfaction. Essentially he settled the case with opposing counsel and did not require further court hearing. It was wonderful to have an attorney who can settle the case quickly and outside of court which is truly a big win for both sides. I would highly recommend him as a family law attorney, he certainly is the best of the best. I wish Mr. Wysocki all the best and success in his career and in helping others.

Great Work!
Michael not only handled all of the work revolving around my case with great dignity, integrity, and dedication but he also completed it in an extremely timely manner. When your dealing with the hurt, pain and resentments that sometimes go along with marriage, you really do not want it to last long. Michael managed to have my divorce filed AND finalized in 10 days! I believe he actually beat the firm record! I am so grateful for all his help.

My lawyer of choice forever!
I brought my case to Mr. Wysocki, desperately, at the last moment. It couldnt have gone into better hands. He was honest from the beginning and everything he said would happen, happened! He always addressed my needs in a timely manner. Always respectful, always understanding. He has a family of his own and saw my case and concerns through my eyes. Mr. Wysocki has a true talent for what he does.With prayer, his tactics, and arguements were everything I needed to recieve the results I did in court. I left the court with WAY much more than I expected! But most importantly I left with my heart in one piece. All thanks to the man who never gave up and fought to the very end to give my family and I ever-lasting results! I would highly recommed Mr. Wysocki to anyone! Court orders could determine the future of your family. Dont make the mistake of letting someone careless handle your loved ones future! Thank you Mr. Wysocki for everything you have done.

Texas's one of the best super attorney! Totally gifted.
It is rare to have attorney with such a unique blend of quality as Michael has. He is truly a combination of brain, knowledge, and ethic's. These characteristic's are hard to find, let alone in attorney's profession. He is a GEM- STONE in a divorce and child custody attorney's reign.
My case was nerve recking by all means. It involved international child abdution and an abusive relationship. It was one of the hardest and complicated case . When I first met Michael, I knew he was extremely carring and considerate attorney. Michael stayed 100% focused on the outcome result. He hears client very patiently and come up with a customize plan to suit individual needs. Michael new he was dealng with crook's , he was very clever and intense with the opposing council. He asked all the right questions with the opposing council to be able to fight hard and aggresively. Michael calmly and relentlessy cross examined my ex untill he had extracted valuable information from them which benefited me and my kids and exposed their decietfullnes in front of Judge.
Michael is the only one I will recommened going with in a battle field , since he is always prepared to win. I thank God for for giving me Michael who did an awesome representation.
Not only he is well qualified, but he fights hard for his clients and is extremely intelligent and poised throughout.
I had temperory child custody of my kids. I could not have asked for more dedicated, focused and clever attorney. I really din't know attorney's like Michael existed and I have met a lot of attorney's .
Before you hire any attorney my humble request will be go meet him first and only then decide whom you want to consider having your attorney. I bet you will change your mind!!I Whatever I write is still an underestimation of his work and I'm unable to justify through this mail what an awesone and outstatding attorney he truly is. Michael, you are best of the Best!!! May God take care of you, the way you took care of me.

Michael is an amazing attorney. Couldn't have ever done better than he did for me.
He has come through for me twice now and I haven't ever seen anyone so thorough and gifted at law as Michael is. He is an amazing attorney. I couldn't have hoped for a better judgement. He got me exactly what I wanted and everything he said would happen did exactly the way he said it would happen.

Professional AND Compassionate
Michael has handled my divorce and subsequent custody case. I never felt like 'just another client'. He showed tremendous compassion through the most difficult circumstances of my life and removed a tremendous amount of stress. I always had complete confidence in his knowledge, ability,and diligence on my behalf!

Texas Super Lawyer
I am going to be very honest about MY Texas Super Attorney. He is awesome!!! As a mother who adores her children, my heart sank when I found out my ex was suing me for custody. I have never been to court in my life - except for traffic tickets - but that does not count! I did the wrong thing and hired a random attorney and I received a terrible judgment against me. My heart sank again. And I mean for a few weeks. But, a friend then recommended Michael Wysocki, MY Texas Super. During my 1st meeting with him, I felt his confidence. I felt like he actually cared about me and my children. I had no choice, but to retain him. After I walked out of the firm, I felt an immediate calm. I felt God saying to me, "I've got this. Don't worry."
Since I just had a terrible court decision in 10/2011 with my previous attorney, I must admit that I was a little nervous about going to court again. However, Michael and his great paralegal, Amy, restored my confidence in the justice system. I wish all of Michael's clients could have been there to witness what happened in the courtroom last week. In the end, Michael got me everything I wanted and my children deserve. I was so nervous entering into the courtroom, but Michael remained calm and confident throughout the entire proceeding. His spirit of "keeping calm and carrying on" really helped me to do the same.
I don't know if anyone knows of the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. (Read Daniel 3). That is exactly how I felt when I first started this whole process almost 1 year ago. But, I am telling you all, I retained Michael in 12/2011. With MY Texas Super Lawyer, you will walk out of the fire like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Unharmed. No smell of "fire" on you at all.
Daniel 3: 27-28
So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants!
LOVE YOU TEXAS SUPER & TEXAS SUPER'S SUPER PARALEGAL, AMY!!!!!!

A Servant of the Lord
My ex-husband filed for divorce against me. He threaten to take my daughter and didn’t want me to receive much from the divorce. I called on My Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ to help me. Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor. Isaiah 9:6-7 For a child is born to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!
I watched God work through Michael on my case. Michael helped me get everything I was entitled too. Michael is the Wonderful Counselor that the Holy Spirit works through in the courtroom. Michael is a true soldier for Jesus Christ. The courtroom is a battlefield between Good and Evil. Michael marches into battle with the enemy prepared and suited up with the Full Armor of God! Ephesians 6:10-17 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
I absolutely Love Jesus Christ! He heard my prayers for help and blessed me with Michael’s wonderful counseling! I pray God’s grace, love, joy, and happiness over Him and His Family. May he continue to Honor God and Jesus Christ in the courtroom for many years to come. Let God’s will always take precedent over everything else in Jesus Name I pray Amen.
And to all whom are reading this…Romans 10:9-10 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
I pray that God’s Holy Spirit surround you with Godly people to help nurture the seed that has been planted in your heart In Jesus Name I pray Amen! Your next step is to be baptized. May God Bless You :)

Thank you Michael
Before Michael Wysocki took my case, I thought the DWI charge would ruin me. From day 1, Michael took the worry away and basically put it on himself. Not only did he take care of the legal issues, but the stress he saved me, was priceless.
Posted by Carol | August 13, 2011
Michael, Thank You!
Michael was sincere and professional at all times about the issues at hand. This being one of the most emotional times of my life, he became my confidante and my closest ally due to his sympathetic nature and to the sensitivity of the matter. Michael represented me with dignity and class. I was most proud to have him stand beside me through my divorce.

More than just the Law
Michael represented not only the best interest of me during the divorce but also represented the best interest of the morales and values of both my wife and I during a difficult time. This characteristic can't be taught and was truly a blessing for both of us during such a tough time in our life. I will always remember the character displayed as sometimes common sense and our upbringing means more than just the law. Thank you
