How We Beat Criminal Charges in Galveston

Each case is unique. This is why we focus on the customized approach at Michael & Associates.

We will thoroughly research and investigate each client’s case. Your case is our top priority. Prosecutors, public defenders, police, and other defense attorneys will not spend as much time examining the details.

We will use our findings to craft the best possible defense customized for you.

Some may include:

• You didn’t commit the crime
• You were framed
• It was an act of self-defense
• You were defending someone else
• A laboratory error may have been involved
• Your rights were violated during your arrest
• A police officer has a history of errors, shortcuts, or procedure violations
• Your constitutional rights were violated

We Will Never Be Afraid to Take Your Case to Trial

Choosing an attorney willing to take your case to trial is essential. Sometimes, it’s the only way to ensure you get the best possible outcome. We know the idea of a trial can be terrifying, but don’t worry. We’re here to help you through the process.

We Leverage Weaknesses in the Justice System

We boost our clients’ cases by capitalizing on weaknesses. The justice system may not always be fair, but you still have rights. We will do whatever is necessary to protect those rights.

We can:

• Prepare the best arguments: We will zealously fight for a dismissal or a favorable deal.
• Suppress evidence if possible: If we believe the evidence against you is flawed, we’ll present it to a judge to throw it out, increasing the odds of case dismissal.
• Identify empathetic jurors: If your case proceeds to trial, we’ll take every step to select the best possible jury members. We look for people who are sympathetic and inclined to rule in your favor.

Types of Cases We Handle

Michael & Associates handles virtually every type of criminal charge in the Dallas area.

Here are some of the common cases we take on:

DWI and DUI charges: Driving While Intoxicated involves operating a motor vehicle or watercraft in a public place while impaired – typically due to alcohol. It is one of our most common cases, with an exceptionally high dismissal rate. We have several Certified DWI Scientists on our team who can question the results of your blood test. We handle all types, including first DWI offenses, second offenses, third (or more) DWI offenses, intoxication manslaughter, and DUI.

Drug charges: Drug crimes in Texas can vary in severity from possession of small amounts to drug trafficking. No matter what the charge may be, we will fight it.

Felony charges: In Galveston, there are more than a thousand ways to commit a felony. Many of these can potentially result in massive fines or lengthy prison sentences. If you’re facing any felony charge, we will do everything possible to get it dismissed or reduced.

Misdemeanor charges: Though misdemeanors are less severe than felonies, penalties could still be harsh. We handle Class A and Class B misdemeanors, and many Class C misdemeanors.

Assault charges: In Texas, assault covers a wide variety of charges, from family violence to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon – all with long-term consequences if you’re convicted.

Probation violations: Facing a Motion to Revoke Probation is very serious. If your probation is revoked, you may have to serve your entire original sentence. We have a strong track record of beating these.

Homicide charges: Homicide charges require meticulous preparation and care. Charges can range from criminally negligent homicide to capital murder (which could potentially carry the death penalty). All manslaughter or murder charges require a detailed investigation and carefully planned strategy. If you’re facing any type of homicide charge in the Galveston area, don’t leave your fate in the hands of a public defender. We will give your case the necessary time and resources.

Other charges: We handle virtually all types of criminal charges, including:

• Burglary
• Theft
• Criminal Trespassing
• Harassment
• Evading arrest
• Terroristic threat
• Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon
