Michael H Pham

Michael Pham did not help me one bit this was my first time being arrested so I had no knowledge about court and what I had to do for my case he made me feel unimportant never called and checked on me, never told me anything about my case, he kept rescheduling my court dates which I later found out I... was getting charged for, the officer in my case lied about my arrest and when I told mr.pham about it he did nothing I lost the case feeling like I could have did everything he did for me on my own , he just took my money and took advantage of me

Michael Pham was a horrible attorney, but I only came to this conclusion after being "suckered" into his services. The very first time I met Mr. Pham, he was very polite and understanding. He was confident he could dismiss my possession of Marijuana case, especially after the authorities found it in ...someone else's vehicle. Everything was sounding wonderful, so at that moment I hired Mr. Pham. ($1,000 which was paid in full) Which would later be the worst mistake of my life. He was balancing so many cases at once, he NEVER made it on time. I had at least 5 appearances before the Judge, and every time, I would have to wait hours after the Judge called for my case... Just so Mr. Pham could arrive. I called Mr. Pham because he was hours late, and he told me "Im in another courtroom, and ill be there" and hung up in my face. When he arrived the first thing he asked me was " how much are you paying towards your balance"? I was immediately disturbed by this because he had been payed in full, and didn't even recall. When the case finally started, it was constantly rescheduled, because he was "gathering notes" and trying to dismiss it. Well 6 months fly by, and one morning in court, he says to me.... "It didnt work out, and the best I can do is Jail time or deferred adjudication." My heart was heavy, and I instantly felt cheated. He came back from deliberation, and told me "sign this" (probation papers) I started reading over the paper work, and he said "hurry up, I have another case." I then yelled at him, "I'm not signing my life away without reading it" He got enraged, and snatched the papers after I signed them. He also led me to believe I would have everything wiped from my record which wasn't true. He had horrible communication, and never let me on my options. He more or less decided my future without me having a say so. Never saw him again after that, and thank God. I hope this guy hasn't ruined other young lives, like he ruined mine. I don't understand how he sleeps at night.

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.
