DWI REDUCED TO OBSTRUCTION

I am a young professional in my mid 20's, I got pulled over during the end of January 2012, it was devastating having to go to jail for the first time ever. I was lost/clueless on what was to proceed after my arrest. This is something I didn't take easy but I stayed strong through the process, for th...e year long period that it took to conclude my case (this is normal for DWI cases in Travis County). Having a respectful and CARING lawyer eased this inconvenient process. I want to thank Mr. Mange for being considerate to my case by providing me with information and immediate responses via phone or email. Bill is knowledgeable and works hard to investigate every detail of your case. This was not an easy case, my case had a 50/50 chance of geting reduced, I did blow over the limit, but only at the scene and not at the station. Bill worked hard to get it reduced. If you care about the results of your case it is important that you do diligent research on the lawyer you choose, because that is what the results of your case depend on. I had made the mistake of hiring a lawyer previous to Bill Mange, almost immediately after I got out of jail, just for the sake of having some information provided to me. I did not research him online or anyone else for that matter before signing with him. Though he presented himself well, the reviews online for him made me insecure, thats when I switched to Bill. I did not regret my decision shortly after the transfer was made - for I received a rude/inappropriate phone call from the previous lawyer expressing his unprofessional reaction to my switch. My advice is - if you're looking up this review, pick the right lawyer for you, one that you can trust/ makes you comfortable, that is what Bill provided for me. Also, cab it from now on. Lastly, don't let this interfere with your life, life goes on, it will be over with before you know it.

DUI Case in Texas - DIMISSED

This was an excellent case where I needed an expert lawyer familiar with the in's and out's of Texas DUI law. William Mange thoroughly reviewed my case with me, analyzed every possible detail come up with a winning strategy to have my case dismissed. After an excellent case was put together on my b...ehalf William Mange presented it to the prosecutor in Austin and quickly convinced them of the unlikely scenario of getting a conviction. My case was dropped based on real, legal grounds and now I am on deferred adjudication for 15 months with no DUI conviction and the ability to have even the arrest wiped from my record. If you are looking for a lawyer who will truly fight for you and not just work to "process" you through the system use Bill Mange.

Great Lawyer. Would Highly Recommend.

Bill is a great lawyer. He really researched every aspect of my case and brought things to light that I feel the average lawyer would not have found. I even blew over the legal limit and still got the charges reduced . No DWI on my record.

An Extremely Knowledgeable, Experienced, and Sincere Attorney Who Will Work His Hardest For You

Bill came highly recommended from a good friend when I needed representation in a criminal case involving accidental carry of a weapon in an unauthorized place. I had never been arrested before so I was completely unaware of the process and what was about to happen next. When I talked to Bill, he f...illed me in on the process of what was about to take place and explained the different outcomes that might be possible given the situation. Due to Bill's extensive knowledge, experience, and willingness to work hard on my case, we achieved the best possible outcome on the case. I greatly appreciated Bill's support and expertise during what was a difficult situation for me.

Thank you Bill

Through one of the toughest times of my life Bill proved to be a steady representative and provided reliable counsel to me and my family. The success of my case is the outcome of a brilliant strategy developed by Bill for my defense and I offer the sincerest gratitude to him and his assistants for ac...hieving the appropriate outcome. (Full dismissal of all charges.) I am in a better place as a result and have a renewed faith in the justice system.

"Bill Mange is one of the best defense lawyers in Travis County. Sometimes lawyers need to bounce ideas off of each other to craft the best tactics and strategy in defending a criminal case, and I have often tapped Bill as a useful resource in that regard. Also, he’s on a very short list of attorneys I would hire if I were charged with a crime in or around Austin, Texas. I think those might actually be the two best things I could say about any lawyer."
