Michelle Poblenz Attorney Print Profile When clients come to me, it is because they are facing a dark or difficult moment in their lives. They are searching for guidance and clarity on what to expect of the process of their current predicament. My primary goal is to listen and understand, while navigating them through the legal progression step by step. My 25 years of experience have taught me that honesty is the best approach when dealing with such serious matters, so I like to lay out all the cards on the table with my clients. Sometimes the situation seems grim but I strive to provide them with all possible advantageous tactical options to get them their best outcome. I also try to give the clients a bigger picture perspective on their case and emotionally prepare them to achieve closure and to move forward with for life after their case is over. I started my career by interning at the Dallas County Public Defenders office in the Juvenile Division and then was hired by the Dallas County District Attorneys office. I spent the next 10 years gaining valuable knowledge on the inner workings of the criminal justice system. I decided to branch out to open my own firm to provide my legal assistance to any and all who could benefit from my experience of advocating for my clients rights through the complexities of family law or a criminal defense. I passionately represent and defend all my clients rights and ensure that the justice system remains fair and impartial at every level, from simple misdemeanor traffic tickets to more serious felony charges. I make sure that all my clients feel safe and confident that their case is being handled with the utmost importance and that they are afforded favorable results because I truly believe that everyone is entitled to justice and fair equity no matter their status.
