About William
Biography
I have wanted to be a trial lawyer since I was 6 years old. At that age, I read a short story called "The Devil and Daniel Webster." Long story short: after reading it, I knew that being a lawyer could be something heroic, that I could help people who desperately needed help.
After graduating from law school, I worked as a briefing attorney for United States District Judge Robert W. Porter.
After completing my term with Judge Porter, I started working at the Austin law firm of Clark, Thomas & Winters. I handled white collar (RICO) cases, insurance cases, and commercial matters.
My thirst for trials would only be quenched, though, once I started working for the Travis County District Attorney's Office. I worked in these units: juvenile prosecution, trial court (assigned at various times to the 167th, 299th, and 390th District Courts), grand jury, child abuse prosecution, and the special prosecution (white collar crime) unit. I was made the first "court chief" of the 390th District Court.
Now I continue representing clients in my criminal defense practice. I love it. It allows me to continue helping people, defending the accused both in trial and in negotiations, whichever is more appropriate for my client.

Bill Mange is the Attorney for You!
After researching DWI Attorneys in Austin, we hired Bill Mange to litigate our daughter's case. The book that he wrote (and has made available on his website) is very informative and helped us to know what to expect. Throughout the whole process, Bill's calm demeanor, willingness to answer question...

Great Trial DWI lawyer
After getting a DWI during a holiday non-refusal weekend where the results didn't add up I was hopeful for an easy resolution but was prepared to go through trial.

Talented, Thoughtful Approach
Bill was always very professional and courteous and followed through with useful and honest feedback and advice at each stage of my D.W.I. and P.O.M. charges and potential license suspension. I believe he achieved the best possible outcome for my case and would highly recommend his services.

Bill did an excellent job from start to finish. He was thorough in finding out all the details and walked me through the entire process. His communication was stellar which set my mind at ease.

An Honest Man.....
Finding an honest man is rare, especially in the field of Law. However, Bill Mange embodies the attributes I experienced serving in the Marine Corps and as a Deputy Sheriff. He is exceedingly honest, solid, reality based, integrity grounded and forthright. He does NOT peddle BS, dreams of how life...
William Bradford Mange's Lawyer Endorsements
"Bill is an excellent criminal defense lawyer."
"Mr. Mange is not only a great attorney but he is a great human being. He is a true advocate for his clients and he genuinely cares. When I need to make a referral in his area, he is the only call I make!"
"When I was a prosecutor, I knew I was in for a fight when Bill was the lawyer on the other side. He is extremely sharp and well prepared. His clients are lucky to have him fighting for their rights."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse William. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Bill for quite a few years and am familiar with the high quality of his work. He is smart, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. He works hard for his clients, is completely ethical, and gets excellent results."
