Currently Pending......

I was in bell county jail for 15 months, with a court appointed attorney, before my family hired Mr. Magana as my attorney. A short time after that, I got bonded out by a Mr. Magana. I recommend him to anyone needing proper representation Mike, I appreciate everything you've done for me. Thank Y...ou.

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 In Bell County!!!!!

I was in county jail for five and half months with a court appointed lawyer. I hired Mr. Magana and in less than two weeks he got me out and is working on my case. He's the best lawyer I've ever had! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
