Michael is an incredible young man and an exceptional young lawyer. I regularly hear feedback from the clients he has helped who share just how effective and supportive he has been and what a difference he has made in their lives. He is not one to turn away from a challenge. When he is met with resistance or technical difficulties, he finds a way to move forward. He never leaves money on the table for his clients. I would trust Michael to represent my closest family members. View More
