Biography
About Ben Michael
Ben Michael is the founder and Managing Partner of Michael & Associates, and has nearly a decade of experience in criminal defense here in Austin, TX. He is an experienced criminal defense attorney who has spent nearly a decade helping those accused of crimes achieve the best possible outcome. He has successfully defended hundreds of clients, handling all sorts of legal issues, including DWI, assault, domestic violence, sex crimes, possession of controlled substances, expungement cases, and felony cases.
Ben originally studied political science at the University of Florida and subsequently attended Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. During law school, he clerked at a number of law firms, gaining experience in a variety of areas, including personal injury, civil rights, wrongful death, and litigation. After passing the bar, Ben decided to dedicate his life to defending those accused of criminal charges and eventually became a partner at another Austin-area defense firm. Over the course of his career in Austin, he quickly became known as 'Mr. Dismissal' around the courtroom, often seemingly able to get charges dismissed that had no hope.
Ben left to start the law office Michael & Associates in order to provide a high level of client service, trustworthy legal advice, and, most importantly, zealous defense for those in the Austin area.
