Excellent Attorney

I've known Mike for two years and as a client I have never had any issues with him handling my cases. Even to go as far as having on retainer for whatever issues may arise. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

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!

Mike is the MAN!

Mike is the bomb.com!! I had 2 cases, 1 felony and 1 misdemeanor. Mike was able to get me a pretty good deal. Although he was COURT APPOINTED he worked just as hard and diligently for me as if I hired him. He got my felony case down to a class c misdemeanor w/30 days deferred and my misdemeanor dismi...ssed. It took him a little bit of time but he came through for me just like he said he would. God is good and I am glad that I stuck with Mike. He is a great attorney and gets the job done!

Best lawyer in Central Texas

I have been a client of Michael Magana since I was a juvenile and have never spent a day in jail. I've been charged with assaults, burglary of habitation, and unlawfully carrying of a weapon. Each time Michael has gotten me off these charges and I thank him for doing such a good job. If you want to ...hire a good lawyer that cares about you and your case then I fully recommend that you hire him first before considering anyone else. Thanks again Mike....
