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.

She knows her stuff

She was able to reduce my conviction from a DWI to an obstruction of highway charge all while keeping me informed of the whole legal process as it played out. I am very fortunate to have hired her and would highly recommend her to anybody who was put under the same unfortunate predicament as I was
