DWI expunged

Bill handled my case with speed and professionalism. We received an offer to completely expunge the charges. I am very happy with Bill's work, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney for a DWI case.

Posted by J | June 08, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Excellent Attorney. He helped me get my case dismissed, the best possible out come.

This will sound cliche, but after I got charged with a DWI I thought my future career prospects were over. I am currently back in school, switching careers, and trying to get into an industry where a criminal record would seriously hinder my chances at getting a job. I had finally found something I w...ould love doing and one bad decision possibly ruined everything. I thought it was over. Discouraged, I managed to find Attorney Mange using Avvo and saw his perfect score and read some of his reviews. I gave him a call and set up an appointment for a free consultation. He happily walked me through the process of my charges and what my options were. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field, but what sold me on him was he told me he loves his job. I hired him shortly after that. Attorney Manage communicates like a lawyer in the best way one can: He is direct, clear, and chooses his words wisely. He always carefully explains possible courses of action and then suggests which choice would be best for my situation, but is never pushy since it is ultimately my decision. He never over promised or suggested anything that would be unlikely to happen. After any explanation he would ask if I had any questions and would answer them promptly. All this done with a warm, friendly demeanor, which is helpful since talking with an attorney is usually during serious circumstances. Immediately, Attorney Mange's legal knowledge became apparent when he explained that it was possible for my charge to be downgraded using a newer legal mechanism introduced in my county, typically used for people in my position: I was barely over the limit and had a clean past record, excluding a couple speeding tickets. This gave me some hope since it would not be a DWI on my record, but something like an unlawful obstruction of a pathway. I would have still had a criminal record, but explaining "Obstruction" to a possible future employer would be much easier than explaining a DWI. After months of waiting and a few court appearances, something even better happened: My case got dismissed. I am ecstatic and feel like I have second chance. Attorney Mange did his part and did it flawlessly, by giving me the best possible outcome for my situation. I cannot thank Attorney Manage enough and would suggest him to anyone that needs an attorney. I will certainly hire him again to get my arrest record expunged when that time is ready.

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.

"Bill Mange is an exceptional attorney. He is one of the best—if not The Best--DWI lawyers in Austin. Bill is highly intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, and always thoroughly prepared. When Bill and I worked together in the District Attorney’s office together, Bill was legendary for his trial preparation and attention to detail. Bill is a fierce advocate for his clients. I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer."

"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."
