About Michael
Biography
Native Oregonian helping people and small businesses. I previously worked for a large insurance company, so I know how they work. I use that insider knowledge to my clients' advantage when handling personal injury and wrongful death cases. I also have experience handling employment law cases from discrimination to pay check issues, construction defect cases (including CCB complaints), dog bites, and products liability, to name a few. Litigating is what I do so you can focus on living your life.
