Specifically, the Corbett Law Firm provide legal assistance on the following areas of practice:

- Criminal Law

Our Dallas based criminal law practice covers many types of state and federal criminal cases including capital murder.

• All 3G Offenses

“3g” offenses are a special set of offenses under Texas laws that get special treatment, i.e., they receive harsher treatment from the courts and the penal system. They are codified in Chapter 42.12 § 3g of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The offenses include: Murder, Capital Murder, Indecency with a Child, Aggravated Kidnapping, Sexual Assault, Aggravated Sexual Assault, Aggravated Robbery, offenses under the Controlled Substances Act involving use of a child or a second Drug Free Zone offense, Injury to a Child, Injury to an Elderly Person, Injury to a Disabled Person, Sexual Performance by a Child, or offenses where there is a finding of a Deadly Weapon.

• Murder

Nothing is more serious in the Texas criminal justice system than when the government accuses a person of criminal homicide, especially capital murder. If convicted, the person will most likely lose his freedom, certainly his civil rights and possibly his life. Although we take each case seriously, for the reasons above, we approach murder cases with a heightened sense of importance. We realize the consequences can be dire. We know a person’s fate, in no small part, depends on our preparation and performance.

• Drug Charges

Mr. Corbett has helped some of his clients take advantage of the benefits of drug court. By an Act of the 77th Legislature, all counties with a population of more than 550,000 were required to create a Drug Court by September 1, 2002. Hence, the following counties operate drug courts: Bexar, Harris, Hidalgo, Dallas, El Paso Tarrant, and Travis counties. People charged with drug offenses who have a substance abuse problem may benefit from time spent in Drug Court.

• Assaults

We have successfully defended many assault cases. In fact, our efforts have resulted in the district attorney’s office dismissing some of those cases including aggravated assault. What’s more, in some situations our efforts have prevented the Grand Jury from returning indictments. We are proud of our record defending assault cases. With all assault cases, we began by determining if there are any reasons that justify the use of force. If so, we are not bashful about taking a case to trial to demonstrate to the jury that our client was justified in using force.

• Sex Crimes

The Corbett Law Firm has represented people charged with sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault. These cases are challenging and require special knowledge in the law since the legislation has given the state special statutory tools to go after people accused of these crimes. For instance, typically out of court statements are inadmissible at trial; however, if a child makes an out of court outcry statement that someone has sexually assaulted him, that statement is admissible under circumstances.

• Robbery & Burglary

A simple theft can easily become a robbery under Texas law. For instance, a theft can become a robbery if the alleged victim is injured or threatened. What is more, it is aggravated robbery if a deadly weapon was involved or if the alleged victim was seriously injured, 65 or older, or disabled. These cases present a different set of challenges. Often, the government has eyewitnesses or surveillance video as evidence to bolster their case. A skilled attorney must therefore be abreast of the law and science regarding this type of evidence.

• Fraud

One more type of offense in this class of offenses is fraud charges. Fraud charges encompass a very broad range of criminal charges including theft, writing bad checks, criminal simulation (forgery), identity theft, credit card abuse, welfare fraud, deceptive business practices, bribery, falsely claiming to have a college degree and many others. It is not unusual for fraud charges to result in penitentiary time if the monetary loss is substantial and the circumstances flagrant.

• We also cover the following areas of Criminal Law: DWI & DUI; Probation Violations; Computer Crimes; and Juvenile Crimes.

- Personal Injury

Our Dallas based personal injury practice is dear to our heart. We believe strongly that victims should be compensated when they suffer injuries due to another person's negligence. The specific types of personal injury cases we handle are Car, 18-Wheeler and Motorcycle Accidents, Forklift Accidents, Automotive Defects, Spinal Cord/ Brain Injury, Wrongful Death, and Workplace Injuries.

- Family Law

Family law is a very challenging area of law since decisions are being made about people's families, children, property, etc. We handle cases involving divorce, child support, custody, CPS, modifications, and enforcement.

- Bankruptcy

• Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is “liquidation”, i.e., the trustee sales your nonexempt property and distributes the proceeds to your creditors. There are no filings of repayment plans since the trustee liquidates your assets. However, you will be allowed to keep certain “exempt” property.

• Chapter 11

Usually favored by corporations, Chapter 11 Bankruptcy allows debtors to reorganize their debts and pay them over time in an effort to save their businesses. However, individuals may also file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

Our office is the perfect fit for the discriminating client who is result oriented. We are successful in what we do and are thankful to those clients, attorneys and judges who continue to refer people such as yourself to our office.

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 1,500 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, 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.
