A legal warrior on your side. Great result into trial- Not Guilty

I highly recommend Michael Pham as a criminal defense attorney. I hired him on a drug case. In my consultation with Michael, I learned what the legal definition for "Possession" on a drug case was and the penalty range I was facing. Michael did a really excellent job in explaining to me my options a...nd asked what result I was looking for. I told him that the drugs were not mine and that I felt the police officer had no reason to pull me over and that I wanted to fight the case all the way to a jury trial. I did interview a few more attorneys after I consultated Michael Pham and chose him because I felt that he explained more to me than the other attorneys did. I also like the fact that he gives you his cell phone number and you can reach him anytime. When Michael got the police report, I learned that the police officer completely wrote a biased and slanted report pointing towards me. I asked Michael how can we fight the case and he said that he will subpoena to see if there is a video camera recording of the whole event. Unfortunately, there was no video, but Michael did point out ALOT of inconsistent statements in the report. I truly had confidence in Michael Pham to take my case to a jury trial. Michael had me come into his office on the weekend to prepare for the trial. I was in awe to know that my lawyer was going the extra mile to prepare for my case. In the trial, Michael attacked the lack of evidence that supported the police officers report and inconsistencies. I felt really good about the trial, but those where the longest 20 minutes of my life waiting for the jury's verdict. When I heard the words NOT GUILTY, I thanked the Lord and thanked Michael for being in my corner. I just want to say that if you believe that you have been arrested and the police lied on your report, you don't have to take it, you can hire the best lawyer I know Michael Pham and he will fight for you.

Michael Pham is the BEST lawyer!!!

I have nothing to say but wonderful things about hiring Michael Pham. He took on my DWI case and handled my ALR hearing to save my drivers license and got both cases dismissed. He was very knowledgeable, skilled, and always available to answer my questions. He was personally involved throughout my en...tire case and explained the legal procedures and law. I felt that my defense was aggressive and when Michael Pham handed me my dismissal, I felt vindicated from that wrongful arrest. I would without hesitation recommend Michael Pham for his professionalism, straight talk, and dedication.

Excellent lawyer who helped our son with dismissals.

We highly recommend Mr. Michael Pham for his professionalism and dedication in our son's cases in the criminal justice system. Mr. Pham represented our 18 year old son on a Possession of Marijuana and a felony Possession of a Contolled Substance cases. Michael Pham got both cases dismissed and our so...n's record expunged. Our son might have had a criminal record which would have ruined his bright future without the assistance and professional leadership and quick legal representation of Mr. Michael Pham. We are thankful that he had such an outstanding lawyer to help him through the difficult and confusing legal system. We cannot express how blessed we are to have hired Mr. Michael Pham.

Grateful for dismissal after hiring Michael Pham

I got arrested unjustly for a prostitution case at a video store. At a video aisle a heavy set man approached me and was harassing me in spanish. I dont know much spanish and was having a hard time hearing and understanding the guy. To sum it up the person was an undercover police officer and accused... me of prostitution. I was humiliated and had to sleep in the county jail. After I bonded out of jail, I interviewed a couple of lawyers. I later interviewed Michael Pham and found out pretty much about the law on prostitution and the legal proceedings. I was confident I made the right decision to hire Mr. Pham. When we went to court, Michael Pham requested for the police report and audio recording of the undercover investigation. The voice on the recording was mostly the police officer doing all of the talking. I couldnt believe that the prosecutor still wouldnt dismiss my case. Michael Pham said lets set the case for trial and let the whole truth come out and I agreed. On the morning of trial day, the prosecutor DISMISSED my case. I am very thankful and grateful to have Michael Pham as my lawyer.

A lawyer who you can count on!!!!

I hired Mr. Michael Pham on a DWLI case and when we went to court on the 1st appearance, my case was dismissed.. My drivers license had been suspended for sometime and when I got pulled over for speeding, I got arrested on a Driving while license Invalid case. I couldnt believe that driving on a inva...lid license is a criminal case. When i went to Mr. Pham's office, he explained to me what I needed to do get the status of my drivers license current. I was really shocked when I learned that someone could be penalized with a fine and even jail time. Mr. Pham also extended my upcoming court so that I wouldnt have to miss work and gave me some time to correct the matter and when we went to court, Mr. Pham said that my license was clear and that the prosecutor would dismiss my case. Michael Pham really helped me out and I am thankful for his legal help. I want to recommend him if you need an honest lawyer that will take care of you.
