Welcome Michael Foreman

Michael Foreman is an attorney at Haney Paschal & Romoser, P.C. and has been practicing law for over 6 years.

Michael knew he wanted to be a lawyer from a young age. “I think being a lawyer always appealed to me because it combined the hard work demonstrated by my dad and the dedication to public service demonstrated by my mom.” When it came time to pick a college, Michael knew he wanted to move back to the south. Michael obtained his Bachelor of Science in Political Science with a minor in Entrepreneurship from Baylor University. After completing his undergraduate studies, Michael chose to attend Baylor University School of Law where he was on the Baylor Law Review, the school’s National Mock Trial Competition Team, and Dean’s List. During this time, Michael also interned for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the honorable Judge John Gargiulo in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi.

After graduating from law school in 2016, Michael worked at a law firm in Richmond, Texas, where he handled practice areas such as personal injury, eminent domain, real estate transactions and just about anything in between. Michael joined Haney Paschal & Romoser, P.C. in November of 2022. His practice focuses on personal injury, contract and property disputes, trusts and estates, and family law. In his free time, Michael likes to hunt, fish, golf, or spend time with his wife, Brittany, riding their horses.

entered the national Register of Historic Places in 1980, becoming a Texas Historic Landmark in 1982. It was constructed of two kit houses (most likely purchased at a Sears & Roebuck from either St. Louis or Kansas City). The original edifice had sixteen rooms with accommodation for eight guests, with the only indoor plumbing found in the owners’ suite. Plumbing was later added throughout. In its infancy, the hotel prized its reputation of having the only telephone in town (the telephone booth now on display at the Madison County Museum).

Over the years, the property has undergone a plethora of renovations under the watchful eyes of several different owners (and name changes as well). Originally the Shapiro Hotel, it has also been known as the Wills Hotel and The Woodbine Hotel, and with the recent purchase by the Emanuallis, is now renamed the Woodbine Inn and Restaurant. For a more in-depth look at the fascinating history of the property, please visit the website. The Woodbine has played an integral part in the fabric of Madisonville life over the years and is, without doubt, woven into the hearts and memories of many of its families. If one would look in photo albums through past years, you would find family gatherings, birthday celebrations, weddings, and community events all set against the backdrop of this historic and beautiful structure. Michael and Denise hope to encourage families and friends to continue this historic saga, to build new memories, to capture fresh images of celebrations and friendships, to enjoy new experiences around the table with good food and good friends. And, as the weather settles into a springtime feel, the refurbished outdoor seating, the newly installed fountain, and the meticulous landscaping will provide a peaceful setting as guests sip wine and savor the culinary offerings of the day. Beer and wine are now available, with other alcoholic beverages on the menu soon. The Woodbine Inn and Restaurant.

Overheard conversation between 2nd grade boys: “Do you think you’ll ever fall in love?”

“I don’t know. I think if she likes pancakes, then probably.”
