View company profile

Michael & Associates, Attorneys at Law is a criminal defense law firm headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded by Ben Michael, the firm is dedicated to providing high-touch, 'white glove' legal representation to individuals facing criminal charges across the state of Texas. Their services extend to major metropolitan areas including Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The firm handles a wide spectrum of criminal cases, ranging from misdemeanors such as DUI/DWI and petty theft to serious felonies including assault, domestic violence, drug possession, and even murder.

A core tenet of Michael & Associates is its commitment to client-focused service. The firm emphasizes direct and consistent communication, ensuring clients have access to their senior attorney's personal cell phone for contact at any time. They strive for transparency throughout the legal process, meticulously explaining case details and defense strategies to alleviate client stress. Michael & Associates distinguishes itself by exclusively employing senior attorneys, each with a significant track record of success in the courtroom. The firm states that its lawyers possess a combined 425 years of legal experience, with an average of 15 years per attorney. This approach ensures that all aspects of a case, from drafting motions to court appearances, are handled by seasoned professionals. Furthermore, the firm champions a team-based defense strategy. While each case has a lead trial attorney, the entire team of approximately 25 veteran defense attorneys collaborates on case strategies, leveraging their collective knowledge and diverse perspectives. The firm prides itself on a rigorous hiring process, reportedly hiring only 2.6% of attorney applicants, a rate they note is lower than Harvard's acceptance rate. Their ultimate goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for their clients, whether that be a dismissal, a favorable plea bargain, or success at trial, and they are committed to fighting zealously on behalf of those they represent.
