All the Qualities of a Great Attorney

We hired Mike when our son with charged with FSRA. Needless to say, this was the scariest thing we have ever gone through, and we knew right after speaking with him, that Mike was the man for the job. When we got anxious at times over what was happening, or not, he clearly explained how things worked..., and assured us that things would be ok. Mike worked diligently on this case, and, even though it took a couple of years, which he told us it might, he got a dismissal! Mike has the right mix of what makes a great attorney, while being caring at the same time. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a defense attorney. Thank you, Mike, for the results you got for our son!

Business review

Michael was very professional and prompt. He reached out to me during my Son’s case. He constantly communicated with us on status of the case. He was able to get our case dismissed and fast. I would highly recommend.

Best lawyer I’ve had

I had a “unlawful carry of a fire arm” and I told him I couldn’t do any probation and little to no community service because of work, he gave me his word and broke everything down and explained it to me on what’s going on next. So after I payed him off things started going and I didn’t have to go to ...court not even one time as he took care of everything while I was out of town and shortly after im glad and stress free he got the case dismissed. I’ll be recommending him to everyone!

Michael Trent

My Lawyer Mr. Trent always answered the phone and / or Tex . He always had an answer for my questions. Not once did I doubt that he was working my case to the best of his abilities. During the interim before my hearing I had other issues Mr. Trent was able to solve and guide my steps to get the iss...ues straighten-up. He was always on time, very professional . Throughout the ordeal he was absolutely certain of the direction he should take to get my case a fair hearing. . I can not say enough about Mr. Trent. Thank you so much V. Driver

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"When I first met Michael Trent, I was representing a man charged with murder. Michael represented the co-defendant who allegedly connected with the crime. Both me of us ran into a slew of government corruption in the murder case and we fought against it. Mike fights hard and it was a pleasure working with him. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a criminal defense attorney."

"Mike Trent is an outstanding lawyer. He is blessed with a razor-sharp intellect and an encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law. He is also one of the most relentless trial lawyers that I know. I could go on and on about Mike's legal talent and how he is always available to help his colleagues solve challenging legal problems. But what impresses me most about Mike, is his ethics and professionalism when dealing with clients, other lawyers and judges. His word is as good as gold. If I or a family member were ever in serious trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Mike. Nearly every criminal lawyer I know in the Greater Houston area shares this opinion."

"I knew Mike back when I was a prosecutor for the Harris County District Attorney's Office. I knew him to be a formidable opponent then, and when I first joined the defense bar, he never hesitated to share the benefit of his knowledge and experience on advanced and difficult issues in criminal law. Mike's reputation for excellence precedes him both in trial and in pre-trial case resolution. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed."

"I have known Mike Trent for over a decade. Mike is an effective advocate and is always prepared. Not only is Mike Trent knowledgeable and up to speed on the law, he possesses trial skills that are unmatched. Mike Trent is also an amicable lawyer, whose personality wins over Judges, Prosecutors, and Juries. Mike was a formidable prosecutor, but I truly believe he has found his calling as a criminal defense attorney. Simply put, Mike Trent is a lawyer's lawyer and I wholeheartedly endorse Mike Trent for criminal defense."
