Have no fear! Hire Mr. Threadgill!

Amazing! I couldnt possibly express how happy we were with him as our lawyer nor the dismissal he was able to achive for us. He was straight foward and honest with us. He was on top of his duties, reliable and on time for court. We watched many other people look for their lawyers call repeatedly etc... but Mr. Threadgill was always there for us. His rates were excellent especially for the quality lawyer and person you get to call your representative. I would highly recommend him and will be keeping his number for myself my family, my friends and anyone that ever mentions they need a lawyer. I spoke to 26 lawyers before him. Mr. Threadgill was recommended to me by another lawyer I had called and I could not be more pleased or appriciative for that recommendation. I do my part as a consumer and check out those I invest my time and money into. I checked reviews bbb and licensing boards.....you will find that Mr. Threadgill is everything that you could hope for in a lawyer on paper but even more once you meet him in person any other fears you may have remaining will quickly fade away. Mr. Threadgill is not a stereotype! He is caring and understanding you get the feeling that he chose his profession to help others and make a differenc in other peoples lives for the better as he did in ours.

I missed two court dates (I live in San Antonio and case was in Houston). The first court I missed, he was able to reset it for me. The second time, I chose to just accept the plea so the judge wouldn't make me pay another bond. I was going to fight my case, but realized I have no more time to stretc...h my case any longer. John Threadgill was ready to fight my case but in the end, it was my fault for missing a court date the second time. He give me clear options of what I could do in my case and kept it to the main point.

Domestic Violence charges with other charges pending

I obtained the services of Mr. Threadgill approximately 1 1/2 years ago on 2 charges that would have left me with felonies . I was extremely concerned about the alleged charges and the fact that I would have lost my 2nd. amendment rights , plus prison time. Michael was completely honest and forth ri...ght with the consequences of my charges . He was extremely thorough with his information . He took all the appropriate angles to defend me in court and have my charges reduced to a single misdemeanor. He is a Great attorney and I would strongly recommend him! Thanks to him I can live my life now . Thanks Mike!

"I have known Michael for several years. He is always focused on obtaining the best possible result for his clients. He has taken the time to go the extra mile for his DWI clients by becoming NHTSA certified in the Standard Field Sobriety Tests."

"During my time practicing law in the Houston area, I have observed Michael to be extremely sharp, well spoken and at ease in the courtroom. I would not hesitate to recommned Michael to a friend or family member. I also respect Michael for his superior knowledge of DWI Law. As any Criminal Defense Attorney knows, a DWI charge is the most technically complex misdemeanor charge you can face in Texas. Michael has taken the extra step of becoming NHTSA Certified in administering field sobriety tests, whereas most Criminal Defense Attorneys have not obtained this certification. Michael is a cut above the rest."
