Exceptional Legal Skill Paired With Genuine Humanity and Best in Class Client Care - Worth Every Penny and Then Some

I’ll begin by saying that this review does not do justice in relaying how exceptional Micah is. He is the gold standard of family law attorneys in Austin. In searching for the best law firm and counsel to represent me during my highly contested and incredibly challenging divorce, I extensively resear...ched and consulted with numerous attorneys. Through referrals and reviews, it became very clear that Coldwell Bowes is one of the top family law firms in the Austin area and for good reason. It was through reading raving reviews about Micah that I felt he was the man for the job and I could not have made a better choice in selecting him to represent me. Bottom line: Micah changed the trajectory of my life and also my son’s life and I will forever feel indebted to him. Micah is a highly skilled legal expert and an exceptional strategist. His advocacy and dedication to his clients in order to achieve the best possible outcome for them is unparalleled. His extensive experience within family law and his understanding of how the system works shines through as he carefully and meticulously works through your case. Micah has the special gift and talent of not only being a brilliant legal mind in and out of the courtroom but truly embodies sincere empathy and compassion for his clients during the most challenging times of their lives. He is the person you want advocating for you and in your corner whether your case is contested or uncontested and is worth his weight in gold. Additionally, Micah along with Coldwell Bowes have an incredible reputation and are highly respected within the legal community with other law firms and within the court system. My divorce was as challenging as they come with many unexpected twists and turns and we ultimately ended up going to trial. It was a highly emotional process for me but Micah remained laser focused on the big picture and the outcome I desired (and kept me focused as well not to mention handling my anal retentive persona with ease). As other reviewers mentioned, Micah treats his clients as though they are family and upholds the highest standards in communicating throughout the case. In the end, Micah secured the very best possible outcome for me and I know with conviction that this would not have been the case if I had stayed with my previous attorney. ***I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how incredible Paralegal, Kimberly Edgington is as well. While paralegals and support staff rarely receive the credit and praise they deserve, having Kim a part of the team was amazing and I’m so grateful for all of her efforts, diligence and communication throughout my case.

Compassionate, honest & truly invested

Micah has been an absolute blessing during one of the hardest chapters of my life. He not only guided me through every step of my case with professionalism and confidence, but also treated me like a real person, not just another client. His communication was clear, timely, and compassionate, and he a...lways made sure I understood what was happening and why. What stood out most was his integrity and patience. Micah and his team went above and beyond, offering support and understanding when I felt completely overwhelmed. I could tell he genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me and my little girl. I’m so grateful for his expertise, kindness, and dedication. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly fights for you while keeping your best interests at heart, I can’t recommend Micah highly enough.

In every instance Micah has been professional, well prepared, knowledgeable on the facts and the law, and will work towards reasonable solutions when possible and will be a zealous advocate when agreements cannot be reached. Micah is a lawyer that is able to advocate well for his clients while still maintaining professionalism and will treat the opposing counsel and opposing party with respect."

His charisma and sharp legal mind are an amazing one-two combination that not many lawyers possess. He is intelligent and articulate and communicates effectively with both judges and juries.
