There have been many experiences that have shaped me into the lawyer I am today. In College, I earned my degree in Criminal Justice because I knew I had a passion for helping people involved in the criminal process. This continued on into law school when I interned for the Federal Public Defender's Office and learned how criminal defendants are in a highly vulnerable position, not knowing what will happen to them and what consequences they face when pitted against the vast resources of the government.. For over a decade I have strived to provide all my clients with advanced, thorough, and knowledgeable representation in their times of turmoil and despair. I have years of experience in the courtroom and against opposing attorneys that I can and will use to your benefit. The best compliment I have received is repeat business and referrals from past clients. When someone trusts me enough to recommend me to their own family members, that's when I know I've developed a meaningful connection with them and earned their confidence in my abilities.. I truly enjoy the practice of law and I sincerely hope that I can continue to build and grow my bonds with those people in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex that are looking for a life-long relationship with an attorney that will always appreciate their trust and work hard to keep it.

Thank you for checking me out on AVVO! I would love to give you some background on myself. For the past 18 of 22 years I have dedicated my life to criminal law practice. I know how to defend a case because I've been the person who brought the cases; I know how the state thinks and I know where to push. Although I am experienced on both sides of the table, and on the bench, criminal defense work has been the most rewarding career I have ever had. I was appointed Presiding Judge for the City of McKinney from 2019-2024, and am a former prosecutor with experience trying all types of felony and misdemeanor cases including DWI, theft, assault, child crimes, fraud, murder, sexual assault, burglary, robbery, and organized crime. I was assigned Second Assistant District Attorney & Chief of Misdemeanor Trial Division. I trained numerous prosecutors, staff, and police on courtroom procedure and testimony. Prior to my time as Second Assistant, I was the Chief Felony Prosecutor for the Special Prosecution Division, responsible for prosecution of financially motivated criminal activity, organized crime, and public integrity matters. I was trained in cyber crime and computer forensics at the National Institute for Computer Forensics (NCFI), the Secret Services' training facility, in Hoover Alabama. Other assignments as an ADA included the Crimes Against Children Division, Felony Trial Team, and Drug Court. Prior to my time as an assistant district attorney, I was a civil litigator in downtown Dallas. In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my family, including one fat marshmallow of a cat.

Mike Price has been representing citizens accused of crimes since he was a student in law school. While many of his fellow students were in class listening to professors tell them what the law was, Mike was in the Dallas County Criminal Courthouse learning first-hand how the system really works. This experience early in his legal education convinced Mike to dedicate his professional career exclusively to the defense of those people and businesses accused of crimes by local, state or federal authorities.. While many of Mike's colleagues like to focus on their past experience as a prosecutor or judge, Mike stays focused on achieving results in the courtroom.. "The best lawyer to defend a person accused of a crime is an attorney who has devoted his entire career to defending the rights of people rather than trying to put people in jail or prison.". Mike has handled over 4,000 criminal cases since 1995. He has prosecuted none. These cases have ranged from simple misdemeanors, DWI's, assaults, drug possession, grand jury representations, rapes, robberies, murders and complex white-collar federal investigations. This wealth of experience has come from where it matters the most: The Defense side of the table--Representing persons accused of a crime. Mike has a firm belief that the only way to handle a criminal case successfully is to investigate and prepare every case as if it were going to be tried in front of a jury. By doing this, every case gets fully investigated and the best resolution for every client can be achieved, even if the case does not ultimately end in a trial. Most "Former Prosecutors" are not skilled and experienced in criminal defense law, cross-examination, defense experts, or investigating a case from the defense prospective. Even prosecutors that have been 'criminal defense lawyers' for many years sometime never lose their 'everyone's guilty' mentality. This is a huge gamble to take when you are considering the effects of a criminal charge on your freedom, family, and career.. Mike Price was born in North Carolina in 1970. He moved to Sherman, Texas, in 1973 and graduated from Sherman High School in 1988. Mike completed his undergraduate studies at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, and graduated cum laude in 1992. Austin College is a small, private Presbyterian school known for its academic excellence. While attending A.C., Mike was a 3-year varsity team letterman on the Austin College Football Team. He was selected as a Texas Interscholastic Athletic Association Academic All-Conference member in 1989, 1990, and 1991. In 1990, Mike and the 'Kangaroos' advanced to the NAIA Division II National Playoffs. He received his Juris Doctor degree in 1995 from Southern Methodist University School of Law in Dallas. While at SMU, he was a student attorney in the SMU Law School Criminal Justice Clinic. After representing many clients throughout the criminal process, including jury trials, Mike was chosen to be the Supervising Student Attorney for the next class of students in this program. He was admitted to the Texas State Bar in 1995.. After graduating from law school, Mike began working for the legendary criminal defense attorney George R. Milner. Mike became a partner in his firm in 1998. In 2001, Mike became Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. While most attorneys have to practice 10, 15 or 20 years to reach the experience level necessary to achieve Board Certification, Mike met the rigorous requirements and passed the exam after being licensed for only 6 years. In 2002, Mike became the Managing Partner and a founding member of Milner & Finn, a law firm dedicated to the exclusive defense of criminal cases in both state and federal court. In 2006, Mike became Board Certified in Criminal Trial Advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. He is now one of only a handful of attorneys who is certified in Criminal Law at both the state and national level, and the ONLY one in Collin County with both of these certifications.   In addition, Mike has been named a "Texas Super Lawyer" by Texas Monthly Magazine every year since 2005, and he has been named a D Magazine 'Best Lawyer of Dallas', Best Attorney in Frisco by Frisco Style Magazine, and 'Readers Choice' for Best Criminal Lawyer by the Dallas Observer.   He is also "AV" Rated by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating for both ethics and legal ability.
