I cannot express enough gratitude for being referred to one of your lawyers, Michael Hanson, at Varghese Summersett, to work with during a very difficult time in my life after I had been charged with a felony in relation to a car accident. Mike provided not only expert legal guidance but also a sense of hope and confidence when I needed it most. From the very first day I met Mike, I was truly impressed by his depth of knowledge and professionalism. I knew that working with a lawyer from Varghese Summersett was the right thing for me to do. The lawyers at this law firm are all highly trained in Personal Injury and Criminal Defense. It wasn't long when Mike told me, in one of our first meetings, that he would talk to the Prosecutor about my case and I believe he did. After two court hearings, where I was still not even called to sit before the judge, Mike called me after the court hearing to tell me that the Prosecutor had dismissed my case and that was the end of it. If you are looking for someone who will stand by you, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible outcome, I wholeheartedly recommend someone like Mike Hanson at the excellent law firm, Varghese Summersett. He’s the kind of attorney and law firm you want in your corner.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐—Exceptional Attorney: Knowledgeable, Approachable, and Truly Dedicated If you’re looking for a criminal defense attorney who genuinely knows the law inside and out and makes you feel at ease during one of the most stressful times of your life, Mike Hanson is your attorney. From the first conversation, it was clear that Mike is no ordinary lawyer. His background speaks for itself—a former prosecutor in both Tarrant and Fort Bend County, a Judge Advocate (JAG officer) in the U.S. Army Reserves, and one of only 70 attorneys in all of Texas who is Board Certified in Juvenile Law. That combination of prosecutorial experience, military discipline, and defense advocacy gives him a perspective most attorneys simply don’t have. He knows how the other side thinks because he was the other side. What sets Mike apart, though, is how approachable he is. He doesn’t talk down to you or hide behind legalese. He takes the time to explain your situation clearly, walks you through your options honestly, and makes sure you understand every step of the process. You never feel like just a case number—you feel like a person he genuinely cares about defending. With over 60 jury trials under his belt and a proven record handling everything from misdemeanors to serious felonies, Mike brings both the knowledge and the courtroom confidence to fight hard for his clients. He is especially passionate about veterans and at-risk individuals, advocating not just for punishment avoidance, but for real, meaningful outcomes. If you want an attorney who is sharp, strategic, well-credentialed, and easy to talk to—Mike Hanson is the real deal. Highly recommend.
