Our Track Record

98.5%

Of Clients Would Hire Us Again.
Here's Why That Matters.

Every lawyer claims to be 'aggressive.' Every firm says 'we fight for you.' We'd rather show you a number.

We survey every client we represent — thousands of them. Among DWI clients, 98.5% are satisfied with their defense.

That doesn't mean we win every case. But you can't post numbers like this with mediocre results.

ChargeSatisfaction
DWI 1st Offense (Class B)97.5%
DWI 2nd Offense (Class A)99.3%
DWI > .15 (Class A)98.8%
DWI 3rd+ Offense (Felony)100%
DWI w/ Child Passenger (Felony)100%
DUI (Class C)100%

First offense or felony — the number barely moves. Whatever you're charged with, our clients walk away satisfied. That's thousands of real past DWI clients, every one surveyed.

How We Win

Every DWI Case Rests on One Number. We Know How to Break It.

A breath or blood test produces a single number. Most attorneys accept it at face value. Ours don't — because they've done the lab work themselves.

Forensic chromatography and DWI breath test science

Our attorneys completing ACS-CHAL forensic chromatography training — learning the same science used to operate and challenge breath and blood testing equipment.

The ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation means an attorney has completed the American Chemical Society's forensic chromatography coursework — the same science used to operate and challenge breath and blood testing equipment. Fewer than 60 attorneys in Texas have this certification. We've sent 15 of ours to the training — because we believe you deserve the best defense, not just the most convenient one.

Your Options

A DWI Charge Is Not a Conviction.
And Jail Time Is Highly Unlikely.

Many people assume a DWI arrest means a conviction. Texas law provides several paths that can keep a conviction off your record entirely.

Dismissal

The charge is dropped entirely. This is our primary goal in every case, and the most common outcome.

Pre-Trial Diversion

Complete a program and the charge is dismissed — no trial, no conviction, eligible for expunction.

Deferred Adjudication

Probation that, if completed, does not result in a final conviction on your record.

Reduced Charge

Negotiation to a lesser offense that avoids DWI conviction penalties.

What's missing from this list? Jail time. That's because jail time is not a real concern for our clients in Texas, save a few extreme circumstances. The real fight is keeping a conviction off your record.

Possible outcomes under Texas law, not guarantees. Every case is different. No attorney can promise a specific result.

If you are truly looking for a law firm that is skilled, supportive and fully knowledgeable about your DWI case — LOOK NO FURTHER. My case was dismissed less than a week after hiring them. They made sure I was updated and always responded quickly. Although I am a private person, I had to share this experience. Highly recommend.

My attorney, Charles Pelowski, was professional and diligent. Thanks to the team's hard work, my felony DWI charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with probation. I was able to have the Smart Start device removed from my vehicle and, most importantly, I kept my CDL license. Your services were well worth the investment.

Attorney Ben Friedman and his team were very helpful, informative, and knowledgeable. They got my DWI charge dismissed before even seeing a judge. If you are looking for a very supportive team they are definitely the ones to go to!

This law firm is no joke. With my latest DWI things were as bleak as they could have been. Michael and Associates saved my life. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. They are quick to respond and don't leave you hanging the way most law firms do.

If your in need of a DUI lawyer hire Michael and Associates. It really made a huge difference — not my first time unfortunately but by far the best. They got me a straight up dismissal! But the real great part was how much my attorney kept me in the loop for all parts of the case. I felt like family.
