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!!!

Tremendous Help, Case Dismissed

I hired Michael Pham on a Terroristic Threat case. Michael was very thorough in his preparation for court. He listened to my story and got my correct version of the facts out over the wrong police report. He implenented the best course of strategy to attack the case. The result was a Dismissal. Micha...el is a strong advocate when you need a criminal defense lawyer. I strongly recommend using Michael Pham.

DISMISSED, Awesome Lawyer

I was in need of a criminal drug defense lawyer. I interviewed a few of them and found that they were very vague and extremely expensive. A friend of mine recommended Michael Pham. I am glad that I chose Michael to represent me. He took the time to explain to me every issue with my case and made sure... I understood everything. I was always able to reach him on his cell phone, even on the weekends. He is very knowledgeable and will not mislead you. He worked hard to fight my case for a dismissal. On the morning of the trial, the prosecutor said they were going to DISMISS my case. If you want someone who will fight for YOU, hire Michael Pham.

Excellent Lawyer

I was arrested July 17, 2012 for assault on a family member, and while in jail came across another inmate who recommended Michael..Talk about being at the right place at the right time.. HaHa!Michael was excellent, everything he explained to me during initial consultation, and time I hired him untill... the end was on point.After 9 months of resets and going twice a month to court, Michael got my case dismissed! Let him to his job, he'll get it done, and you'll be happy at the end.I hope the future doesn't bring any problems with the law, but if it did I'd call Michael to be my lawyer!I thanked him already and I want to thank him again for fighting my case and getting a dismissal, saving my future.Dont hesitate..he won't disappoint you!
