About Michael
Biography
I am a lifelong Texan. I have been in practice for 30 years now (sigh). I am the proud papi of two Aggies who drank the Aggie KoolAid, and believe there is only one color (maroon).
I guess I've always known I would be an attorney ever since I discovered I could not stand the sight of blood. Medical school was a no-go after that.
I love being in the courtroom. It is an intimidating and scary place for clients. I think my job is to not only get them the best result, but to put up the good fight, and let them know I am there to protect them.

My Lawyer for Life
I wish every lawyer was Michael. He is worth every cent. He is assertive, intelligent, level-headed, and all around perfect at his job. I recommend him to everyone. He handled my case diligently, told me my strengths and weaknesses, and still serves me when I have issues. He is the best lawyer I...

Best attorney in East Texas!
I had a bully of an ex-husband who was physically abusive and is a sociopath. This lawyer knew how to stand up to a bully when needed, but does not go in guns blazing when it is not necessary. He will fight for your rights and make you feel confident. The price was comparable to other good attorneys....
