Straight Talk & Delivered Dismissal

I hired Michael Pham for an Assault Family Member case were I was accused of punching an ex girlfriend in the face while driving home from a party. Michael said it was very important to subpoena the 911 call. It took about 4 months to get the 911 call, but the wait was well worth it as showed how... intoxicated my ex was on alcohol and Xanax. I told Michael that I was defending myself and never hit her. The prosecutor offered me 1 year probation deferred. I learned that after completing the probation the record would still follow me the rest of my life. I said hell no and let's go to trial. Michael said that there's no way a jury would find me guilty and that the prosecutor should dismiss the case. We set the case for trial. On the morning of trial the prosecutor even offered me to take an anger management class that is 4 1/2 months long and then dismiss my case. Michael said that he was confident that I would win my case. I believed in his aggressive legal passion in defending me and said no plea and let's go to trial. The prosecutor later dismissed the case knowing that we were not going to back down from the trial. I learned that the prosecutor was only bluffing. The lesson I learned is to hire a lawyer that is willing to fight for you and go to a jury trial and won't back down. For those reasons, I would recommend Michael Pham.

Great Experience, Accessible, Effective

Attorney Pham looked at my choking Assault case and said that it should be dismissed. Mr. Pham is a compassionate person that understood that I could not have a felony record and was prepared to take my case to jury trial. On the trial day, my case was dismissed. I want to recommend Michael Pham be...cause he was knowledgeable and sincere in his willingness to help me. You can always reach him on the phone in the evening and on the weekends. Great experience and hard work that produced the result I wanted which is a dismissal and my record cleaned.

Excellent Experience, Great Result, Outstanding Lawyer

Michael Pham did a great job representing me on an Assault Case. I was at a nightclub with a few friends, and I later got charged for trying to break up a fight my friend got into. When I told Michael the facts of my case, he said we will need affidavits from all witnesses present, submit our defense... to the prosecutor and be ready for a trial if we dont get our dismissal. He explained all of the details very well and informed me of what to expect, what could be done or should be done, and kept my concerns that I needed to have the charges dismissed. In the end, through Michael's adroit legal skills, my case was dismissed. I really appreciate his service and highly recommend him.

A class act and dedicated professional

I hired Michael Pham on an Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon case. The case was essentially a self defense case that got me arrested. I was accosted by 2 men at a gas station late at night, some words were exchanged, they later left and came back with some weapons. I defended myself with my gun... and then got arrested. The arrest and jail was a horrific experience to go thru. I was referred to Michael Pham from a coworker. Mr. Pham got a hold of the security tape from the gas station and presented my case to the grand jury. The Grand Jury believed in my innocence and dismissed my case. I would most definitely recommend Michael Pham for a serious felony case. He is a class act and a dedicated professional.
