excellent

I went to court today on psi for my felony 2-10 charge the prosecutor was offering me a 3 year TDC sentence no budging on it for hours until I got the offer for some good ol' sfp or something lock down for 180 days that's when Mike and I decided to go for the trial. not taking any of the plea offered... after all day of evidence investigation Mike got me the best deal possible 3 years probation no jail time! Thanks Mike! I would highly recommend this attorney to any of my friends

Better Call......

My opinion is that Michael is a wonderful lawyer. He absolutely gets the job done. My son had a bond of $250,00, and he had it reduced to $50,000, then bonded him out. I would recommend him to anyone that's been told "no" or "that there is nothing that could be done", because Mike can and will ge...t it done.

Mike handles all my cases!!!

I have had four cases and each one Mike has taken care of for me. My most recent one, I had a $100,000 bond and I did nothing other than call Mike. He got it reduced to $25,000 and bonded me out himself. There isn't anyone else I would entrust with my life. If you need an attorney, you'd Better Call ...Mike!!! He

Best Attorney

I had hired Mr. Magana to represent me in Texas on my first DWI in the state, but I had two prior ones from out of state and was unaware that they were going to be used against me. They had enhanced the case to a felony and were trying to put me in state jail for the two years and he was able to get ...me reduced sentence of five years probation, with the possibility of early release. I'd recommend Mr. Magana's services to anyone!
