Michael H Pham

Michael Pham represented me on 3 different occassions for a Theft, Assault, and Criminal Mischief cases. In each case I was very satisfied with him. Michael Pham is a very good lawyer and I would recommend him to anybody because he will get the job done. I am very very satisfied because he got each o...f my cases dismissed. I am very grateful to have him as my lawyer.

I was charged with an Assault case. I interviewed 3 lawyers and decided to hire Michael Pham. Mr. Pham said that we should take the case to trial and expose the lies against me. The other lawyers I interviewed said my criminal history would make me an unbelievable witness. Well, I wanted for the trut...h to be told and took my case to trial. After, Mr. Pham confrontated the lying witness on the stand and got my story out, all was better. When the jury came back, it was the most tense part of the trial, waiting for the verdict. When I heard the words NOT GUILTY come out, I hugged Mr. Pham. I thank you Michael Pham for being on my side and fighting for my innocence.

I was involved in a traffic accident in which I totaled my vehicle. I was charged with a 2nd offense DWI. I blew a .16 on the breath test and I failed my sobriety test at the station. I hired Michael Pham and upon a few months of going to court Michael Pham got my case dismissed. I would recommend M...ichael Pham to represent my firends，co workers, and family in any DWI cases.

I hired him to represent me on an assault case couple of years ago. It was one of the biggest mistake of my life. He had so many other cases to attend to during my court hearing date he basically showed up finally at the last minute that day to tell me DA was offering me deferred adjudication. He was... going in and out of so many different courts that day representing other clients he basically did a very poor job on my case.

Michael Pham represented me in a "domestic violence" case almost 4 years ago. I was 27 years old at the time of the incident and had never been in any trouble with the law, let alone domestic violence. My case was unique in the fact that it involved another man who also has a history of violence, non...e of which, was actually documented. Mr. Pham told me that he could have that case dimissed with probation and my record wouldn't be tarnished. However, the DA wasn't willing to hand over a dismissal so Mr. Pham opted for deferred ajudication. He explained to me that basically, deferred ajudication meant that the charge will fall off my record once I completed probation successfully and, of course, stayed out of trouble for 2 years. A few days ago I over heard a lawyer talking on the phone about this same subject so I decided to get his opinion. He told me that it doesn't come off your record at all. That evening I researched what I was charged with and whether or not, I still had a public record and sure enough, I did. Mr. Pham did not tell me that deferred ajudication, for assult on a family member specifically, doesn't just fall off. This was extremely disheartening for me because despite my degrees and work experience I haven't been able to find a job that is comporable to the time and energy I've invested in my education. Now, I must begin the task of having the record sealed in order to move on and have the life that I've earned. I'm not a blind person, however. I completely understand why domestic violence cases are automatically prosecuted by state, which is in order to keep real offenders from attacking their victims again and again. I however, defended myself. Despite the fact that I explained this incident to Mr. Pham and everything that led up to it, I guess he didn't consider it as self defense or maybe he didn't want to tell me. After all, it was only a $300 defense which almost broke me at that point in time. Point being, Mr. Pham was efficient about getting me into his office, and getting me in and out of court, but was inefficient about the information I really needed. This lack of knowledge about "deferred ajudication" has made every interview that I've had in the passed three years a waste of time. There is no explanation on a public record about "domestic assult." It's simply just exists for any employer to see and when they see it, prejudical accusations are made and there was nothing I could do about it because I didn't know it existed. Bottom line: if he would have told me, I would have been better prepared for disappointment
