Horrible, do not hire for first DWI.

At first he may seem very intelligent and diligent with his work. He was late to every single court appearance by 10-20 minutes after name call, we had to do continuations for about 5 months just to finish the case, a few times he would literally leave the court room just to answer calls. He faile...d to do anything about my ALR hearing, did not even mention my license being suspended while i had no idea. One time i set a meeting only to wait an hour for him to tell me he forgot and meant on another day. Every time i did meet with him he had piles of folders with cases he was dealing with, i feel like i wasted money on him and would have gotten nearly the same deal with a public defender.

Great DWI Lawyer

I first came upon Mr. Pham upon consulting him own a DWI case I was arrested for after I got pulled over for speeding. Michael Pham told me that I had a pretty good video for the sobriety tests and that the breath machine had some past service issues. A short while later my DWI case was dismissed. Mi...chael Pham always returned my phone calls and explained everything about my case at his office. I would highly recommend Mr. Pham to anyone in need of a great lawyer.

DWI- Dismissed Awesome Lawyer Great Job

I have never been arrested before, went out with some friends for some drinks and later got arrested for a DWI after I was involved in an accident that wasn't my fault. The experience and ordeal of the arrest and spending time in jail is horrid and I really needed a good lawyer that would help me thr...ough this difficult time. Michael Pham was the first lawyer I interviewed out of total of 4 lawyers. I later decided to hire Michael Pham because his fees were within my range and I believed he had the experience, expertise, and dedication to handle my case. Michael Pham explained the whole DWI law to me, what field sobriety tests are, and the science behind a blood draw. As the case progressed, I won the ALR hearing which saved my drivers license. The prosecutor wouldn't dismiss my case because my blood was over the limit. Michael Pham said that there are a couple of issues with the evidence and recommended that we go to trial and my other options would result in a conviction. I felt that I had nothing to lose and everything to win in a trial. Before trial, I was educated about how the trial would proceed and everything about a DWI. On the day of trial, my case was dismissed. I really want to recommend Michael Pham for a DWI case if you have one.

NEVER HIRE FOR FIRST DWI!!!

Michael Pham was a horrible choice for defending my first and only dwi...I waisted time and money hiring him. He takes on so many cases at once that its hard to believe he can focus any energy on a simple first time dwi case. I believe he only gives full effort into high criminal cases. I paid him $3...000 to only extend the period of time to keep me outta jail...at the end of it all I spent $3000 on him and spent 30 days in Harris county jail and now have to pay the state of texas an extra $3120 for a dwi that will always be on my record...this attorney did absolutely nothing to help me and I would have been better off with a court appointed attorney...do yourself a favor and NEVER HIRE THIS ATTORNEY IN REGARDS TO A DWI...ESPECIALLY A FIRST OFFENSE!!!

"Great Legal Representation"

Mr. Pham represented me on a DWI case. In my consultation Mr. Pham was very professional, honest, caring about my case and its affects on my career. He is a genuine person that you can personally get hold of on the phone and very knowledgeable about the intricacies of a DWI case. Mr. Pham got me a ve...rdict the NOT GUILTY verdict that I was hoping for. I highly recommend Michael Pham.
