We Fight Charges Like Your Future is at Stake.
At Michael & Associates, our team understands that this is a stressful and confusing time, and we’re committed to responding to all texts and phone calls within the same business day.
Any criminal charge in Texas must be taken seriously. You deserve aggressive, experienced, and responsive legal representation. That’s our team at Michael & Associates. We’re committed to providing personalized, client-focused criminal defense throughout Texas.
Our criminal defense team brings together over 400 years of combined legal experience. While we are dedicated exclusively to criminal defense, many of our attorneys are also former prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officers from across the state of Texas.
We could list our awards and accolades (and there are many), but what matters most is experience and results. Our Texas attorneys have handled thousands of criminal cases across the state, with a proven success rate averaging at 97.7% (based on 2025 client satisfaction statistics). Many members of our team were born and raised in Texas and understand the nuances of local courts and prosecutors.
Why You Need a Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer
The Texas legal system is complicated, and each county across the state has its own unique court processes, priorities, and quirks. Whether you’re arrested in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, or a rural county, penalties can be severe, and prosecutors can be aggressive.
Without an experienced Texas criminal defense attorney by your side, you risk life-changing consequences, including:
- Jail or prison time
- Hefty fines
- Lengthy probation
- Loss of your gun rights
Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Conviction in Texas
Pleading guilty may seem like the fastest way to move on, but any criminal conviction can follow you for life. Beyond the initial penalties, a conviction can:
- Jeopardize your child custody rights
- Cost you your employment or a professional license
- Damage your reputation (especially in sex offense cases)
- Make it challenging to rent housing or secure loans
When we build your defense, we consider every possible consequence of a conviction. Our statewide Texas team includes DWI Scientists, a former judge, an ex-FBI agent, and former prosecutors. We leverage this insider knowledge to anticipate the prosecution’s strategies and fight for the best possible outcome.
What You Can Expect When You Hire Michael & Associates
From the moment you reach out to us, we act fast.
- Step 1: You’ll speak to an intake specialist who will immediately begin gathering information about your case.
- Step 2: One of our experienced Texas criminal defense attorneys will call you to dive into the details and start crafting potential legal strategies.
- Step 3: If you hire us, we get to work securing bond, handling jail release, negotiating pretrial conditions, and building your defense.
We are committed to telling your side of the story and will carefully examine every piece of evidence for police mistakes, flawed procedures, and violations of your rights.
While our goal is always dismissal, if that’s not possible, we’ll work with you to explore alternative solutions, such as pretrial diversion programs that could ultimately result in a clean record.
