Hired Law Firm

Michael & Associates really went the extra mile. I was a bit concerned because ChatGPT called them a “high volume” firm but after my first call I trusted my gut and hired them. ChatGPT was dead wrong - they gave me the most personalized service I’ve ever had. I was always speaking directly with my attorney and he always answered every question honestly and simply. I am very thankful for not only the great deal they got me but for how hands on they were guiding me through every step of this painful process.

Hired Attorney Mr. Robert Pate Jr.

I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Attorney R.C. Pate of Michael & Associates in San Antonio for his exceptional representation of my son during a very difficult time for our family. Mr. Pate’s professionalism, legal skill, and genuine compassion made a tremendous difference in the outcome of my son’s assault case. Thanks to his diligent work, clear communication, and strategic guidance, my oldest son was able to avoid a lengthy prison sentence and instead received probation. Although my son must serve 90 days in jail followed by a significant probation period, we recognize how fortunate he is, and we are profoundly grateful. Importantly, no one was injured, and Mr. Pate helped ensure the court considered the full context, including youth and impulsive decision-making. What stood out most was Mr. Pate’s willingness to spend time with us after the trial. He sat with our family, answered every question, and helped us understand and after probation no conviction!

Michael And Associates is hands down the best firm period. Was facin a DWI and two lawyers in Houston failed to fight for me then they went in and got that case thrown out! No consequences at all! They are miracle workers in the court room don’t go with any other DWI lawyer in Houston because Michael an Associates is the dream team of DWI fighting!

I had a lawyer that kept dragging their feet and told me no chance I could get a dismissal even though I was wrongfully accused. So I fired him and called up Mr Dismissal himself who yup, you guessed it, got my charges dismissed.

They got me on deferred probation when I was facing several years in federal prison for something g I was overcharged for. Michael and associates is worth every single penny and I am forever grateful for them giving me my own life back

I was drawn to Ben Michael and associates because of their teamwork approach. They said you get multiple lawyers for the price of one and it really did pay off. Well worth every penny spent. Everyone I talked with was super professional and it really did feel like I had a whole squad defending me. Hire Ben Michael and associates if you need help!

The team was incredibly helpful and reassuring throughout the entire process. Even though it was a stressful time, they helped me stay calm and collected. In the end, they were able to get my case dismissed in less than three months. I’m very thankful for all their support

Got my case dismissed in under 6 months. I felt so stupid for driving drunk but they never juedged and walked me thru every step of this terrible process. They are in your corner! Hire them if you need help

defintely recommend this firm. They did a great job with my case, kept me in the loop every step and really fought to get the best result possible. Communication was really good and they made a super stressful situation feel a lot easier to deal with. I really appreciate all the hard work and knowlege they brought to the table. When they gave me my initial plea offer I was ready to take it but they said no way are we taking this we can do much better. When the final deal came I could not believe it. Thank you Michael and Associates!
