When looking for an attorney to get the job done, with high quality, respect, and professionalism... I would definitely recommend Mrs. Cuellar!

Experienced and Thorough Attorney!

If you want a lawyer that works for you and gets you positive results, look no further! Michaela was everything we were looking for in attorney and delivered the dismissal we were hoping for. She is very thorough and aggressive getting the results she wants for her clients. We hope we never find o...urselves in an position to need her again but if we do, she will be the first person we call. Thanks Michaela for your patience and willingness to dive in to help with our case.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Austin!

I first contacted Michaela over 2 years ago to handle a DWI case for me. During the course of the case, I received a felony possession charge. I hired her to handle both cases. She worked tirelessly on my cases and always answered my phone calls. She explained the law and possible courses of action t...horoughly. After 2 years of outstanding work, she was able to get my felony case dismissed and resolve my DWI with a deferred obstruction of roadway. She singlehandedly saved my future and I owe her an eternal debt of gratitude. She was there to support me through a very dark time and I’m happy to say I’m thriving these days and no longer have cases looming.

Responsive, Flexible Attorney

Michaela was extremely helpful. She got my bond reduced to PR within twelve hours of being hired. Later when hired to represent me on the case she was responsive for the five years it took to resolve, allowing me a great deal of input on my own legal defense. In addition, the retainer was very reason...able given how long the case stretched. Would highly recommend.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
