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.

Does not follow up with paperwork to court system after being paid in full
Beware.. make sure he does the work before you pay him. Once paid, I guess the file gets moved to the bottom of the pile. Because he took his sweet time, I now have to pay more $$ in court costs and he still hasn’t resolved everything. I’ve been divorced 1.5 years!

The best of the best!
I am going through a complex custody battle. Michael knows when to go in guns blazing, but only when necessary. He will fight like hell for you even if it’s an uphill battle. He is very attentive to detail, and will pick apart the details until the truth is revealed. He’s aggressive when need be, but...

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....
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Michael is ethical and creative. He is super intelligent and is aggressive in the court room. In candor, Michael is law partner."
