During one of the darkest periods in my life I was referred to Michael and Liz by another attorney from Austin. I wasn’t guilty of what I was accused of so it was important for me to seek out Good counsel. After my first meeting with them I was certain I had found it. During the almost year-long process they kept me informed and reassured me that they were going to do everything possible to help me get out of this situation. Liz is well organized and very on top of her game. Michael maybe one of the sharpest legal minds in Williamson County and the day I walked out of court free I was happy he was by my side. I sincerely hope I never need their services again but if I ever got in a situation where I needed a great attorney I know who to call.

Michael Price and his firm are the best top notch lawyers. Communication throughout the entire process was stellar. He was able to work with me and get the best case scenario. I called multiple lawyers and Michael stood out the most when it came to professionalism, honesty and transparency. They are 100% responsive even on the weekends, and after normal working hours. 10/10 recommend. Michael’s jokes are pretty good too.

Michael is phenomenal. He does his dudiligence, knows the law backward and front, has great contacts, and has the ability to win whatever is thrown at him. He went above and beyond for me when I needed him when I was wrongfully charged in Williamson and Travis County on a crime I did not commit. Not once did he tell me to plea because no matter how good the deal, he didn’t want me to plea on something I didn’t do. Id recommend Michael and anyone he works with or referrers because he is a stand-up individual with an amazing work ethic.

Michael was extremely helpful in my delicate case. He took the time and efficiency to tackle the situation at its finest approach with the proper strategy. According to how it was looking he was able to give me the best scenario possible even when the odds seemed to be against us. After going back and forth for the period of time needed, he was successful in making the best possible scenario come to fruition. I highly recommend him and if I could give his firm 100 stars I would. He is a superb attorney who definitely knows how to make the best things possible as long as the client is always honest and is a stand forward person.
