Small-Firm Attention, Large-Firm Resources
Although we have a large pool of attorneys across Texas, each of our attorneys is hyper-focused on a handful of jurisdictions. This helps them become familiar with the key players and likely case outcomes.
Ben Friedman serves clients in Fort Bend County. He's a former Harris County Public Defender with over six years of courtroom experience. Ben has secured countless dismissals and acquittals in cases ranging from DWI to serious felonies.
However, you're also getting the full support of our entire Texas team, which includes DWI scientists, former judges, magistrates, law enforcement officers, and even an ex-FBI agent. We meet each day to discuss case approaches. Our firm's founder, Ben Michael, is personally involved with every case.
Exemplary Customer Service
We pride ourselves on our white-glove service and strive to make this process as easy on you as possible. We know no one likes waiting, so we return calls and texts on the same business day whenever possible.
Free Case Review
We offer a complimentary case review with one of our senior trial attorneys. During this consultation, we’ll review your arrest, answer your questions, and outline the most effective defense strategy.
We understand this is a stressful time — our experienced team provides immediate guidance and support so you can make informed decisions about your future.
Fixed Pricing
Let's face it, most people are worried about how much a lawyer will cost. Unlike many large firms that charge an hourly rate, Michael & Associates offers a single, fixed price from start to finish. We believe our attorneys should focus on providing you with the best possible representation, rather than accumulating billable hours. The total price will depend on the specifics of your case, but we will let you know the total cost during your free case review.
