MELaw, has been such a life saver to me during this probate process. Ms. Cathy has been extremely professional and comforting to work with. She has made me feel at ease in the signing of deeds and other paper work with her calming demeanor and smile. I would recommend the ME Law firm to anyone needing a will probated. Mike is a great attorney to work with.
If truth was a meme, Mikel would be the face. He gives you the 101 in understanding the business actions that will help you win and realities of what he reads on his cases. I am located in another state but I was confident in his ability to negotiate on my behalf and give me the several scenarios I could go to get to the finish line. I recommend his business litigation and others services to anyone near, around and within Austin. Thank you Mr. Eggert

Attorney Mikel Eggert gave me a very positive experience with my legal issues. I received his undivided attention. He helped me with a will, probate, and living trust. He educated me and made sure I had a clear understanding of the law. I appreciated that he did so in layman's terms. My biggest shock was the price of his service. Very reasonable and he was recommended to me by the State Board. I was impressed. His humility and understanding exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him. M. Woodard
Mr. Eggert did everything possible for the best outcome for my family. It was not an easy task, he dismissed one case and kept our loved one from staying in jail on another. Only regret was not hiring him quicker for a different charge. Thank you so much!!!
Mikel was instrumental in negotiating out of court settlement for us. He did thorough research and worked with us throughout the process to get to a successful outcome. Thank your Mikel!!
My partner and I worked with Mr.Eggert to navigate a tenant/landlord dispute. Mr.Eggert was genuinely personable, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process. He was super timely with communications and most importantly helped resolve the issue without needing to escalate it to court. I will definitely work with Mikel for future legal needs.
Please go see Mikel Eggart if you need an attorney. He had us in and out and a check ready so fast! Everything went fast, smooth, and professional. He always communicated with us via phone, or email. He answered all our questions, explained everything and listened about anything we wanted to talk to him about. I am so thankful for him and his staff! Our travel from Georgetown to Austin was worth it! He is the best person/attorney I've met in a long time! Jessica
