DWI 1st Dismissed- Couldnt be Happier

I came to Michael with a DWI in Houston that arose from a car accident. I was very specific that I needed a full dismissal or acquittal instead of probation because of my international travel duties in the oil and gas field. Michael 1st won my administrative hearing (the one to keep your license).... Michael obtained the video and pointed out that proper protocol was not observed for at least 15 minutes before I blew into the breath machine. My breath alcohol reading of .14 was thrown out. Michael also got my medical records from my orthopedic surgeon that I previously had knee surgery 2 years ago to explain my performance on the sobriety tests. On the morning of the jury trial, my case was dismissed. It was a feeling of relief that after 9 months of having an interlock machine in my car, travel restrictions, and the stress of the case finally coming to an end. Michael gave me my life back. I would recommend him because he knows what a DWI case is all about, the deficiencies about the sobriety tests, and has the technical experience on the breath machine. He is also accessible to reach with his cell phone. Michael's the man to call if you have a DWI case. Thank you!!!!!

Great Legal Lawyer & New Friend

I hired Michael for an Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon criminal case. I was ACCUSSED, of pointing a firearm on a neighborhood bully. During my consultation, I learned what the penalty for my case was and how my case would be handled. I made it very clear that I want a dismissal or jury trial ...and that I was not going to plea to anything. I was confident in Michael's level of expertise and dedication to my case after I hired him. Michael told me that he would conduct a thorough investigation of the case and prepare a Grand Jury packet. I had many office visits and brought several neighbors who were willing to testify on my behalf. Michael always answered my phone calls and was very supportive and diligent. In the Grand Jury, they dismissed my case and Michael had my arrest record expunged. I would recommend him as a great lawyer and fantastic new friend.

DWI Highly Skilled Lawyer that Delivered Results

I was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated. I was driving home around 2:15 AM from visiting some friends on Westheimer when around the corner I was T-boned from this car that ran a red light. When the police arrived the driver lied and said I ran the red light. Next thing, instead of being treated ...with respect the police officer starts interogating me about how much alcohol I had been drinking and starts directing me to perform some sobriety tests. About 20 minutes later I was arrested for a DWI. I was referred to lawyer Michael Pham from a co-worker that was a former client and had nothing but praise about him. I interviewed Michael and really felt comfortable about his qualifications to handling all of the intricacies about the legal and scientific aspects of my blood case. During the whole process which lasted about 6 months, Michael always answered all of my questions that I had concerning my case and even educated me about the case so that I could explain it to my spouse. In the end, Michael was able to find some issues with the blood testing with a "Corrective Action Report" that clearly proved that there was no way my 2 beers could have been a .14 blood alcohol. The case was finally dismissed. I want to recommend hiring Michael Pham for a DWI case because he is a professional lawyer that cared about me as a person, highly competent, and always accessible by phone.

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.

Saved my life and marriage. Highly Recommend.

I want to highly recommend Mr. Pham as the lawyer for any of your criminal problems. I was arrested for an undercover sting prostitution case when I answered a Craigslist ad for massage services. When I got arrested, my whole world turned upside down. I desperately needed an aggressive attorney to cl...ear my name and save my marriage. Michael explained to me how the police set up these undercover operations to entrap and arrest people. He told me what steps we were going to take to fight the case and get the result that I wanted. After 4 months of going to court, I finally got my case dismissed. I want for people to know that if you truly need a lawyer that cares about you and will fight for you, Michael Pham is the man.
