Aggressive Defense. Proven Results.

Whether you're facing a DWI, drug charge, felony, or misdemeanor, Michael & Associates is committed to providing customized, white-glove criminal defense services in Irving. 

If you’re facing a criminal charge, your future is on the line. At Michael & Associates, our criminal defense team is backed by over 425 years of combined legal experience. Our attorneys are dedicated to criminal defense, and many also bring additional insight from their roles as former prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement professionals.

While we could use this space to boast about our attorneys’ awards and accolades (and they have plenty), we believe that experience matters most when it comes to your case. Most of our Dallas teammates were born and raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and one is a former prosecutor with the Dallas County District Attorney’s office. Together, they have over 65 years of combined legal experience and have handled over 1,500 criminal defense cases.

We know what it takes to get you the best possible case outcome, and we have the track record to prove it, with a success rate of almost 95%.

Our No. 1 goal is a dismissal. Let us work to protect your rights and freedom.

Why Choose Michael & Associates in Irving?

A criminal conviction can carry life-altering consequences — from jail or prison time to fines, probation, revoked professional licenses, restrictions on firearm ownership, barriers to housing or loans, and difficulty finding employment.

Institutional Knowledge

Overburdened public defenders often don’t have the time or resources to challenge every flaw in your case. Our team does. We know the local courts, understand how prosecutors build their cases, and have the experience to push back effectively.

A Free Case Review

We offer every potential client a free confidential consultation (and there's no commitment). One of our senior trial attorneys will review your options and possible defense strategies.

Immediate Action

From the moment you contact us, we spring into action. Our intake specialists gather key details about your case, and a senior trial attorney will call you to discuss your situation and start mapping out a defense strategy. Once retained, we handle your defense entirely — including bond assistance, jail release (even after hours), and negotiating favorable pre-trial conditions.

Decades of Combined Experience

Our Irving team includes career criminal defense lawyers, a former prosecutor who understands the State’s tactics, and a certified DWI Scientist who challenges blood and breath tests. You also benefit from the insight of a former deputy sheriff, an ex-judge, and a former FBI agent on staff. 

Exemplary Customer Service

We know this is a challenging time for you, so we’re committed to returning all texts and phone calls on the same business day.

Proven Results

We have a proven track record of protecting clients’ rights and achieving successful outcomes in cases ranging from DWIs and drug offenses to violent felonies and homicide.

Personalized Legal Representation

No two cases are alike. We develop custom strategies for every client. We limit the number of cases we handle to ensure you receive full attention. We respond to all calls and texts the same business day and investigate every detail of your case. If a trial is necessary, we’re fully prepared to fight aggressively on your behalf. Our ultimate goal is always dismissal or the most favorable resolution possible.
