This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Sr. Director, Licensing

Mike and I worked together for many years. Mike proved to be an excellent legal "partner" as we worked together on licensing business, on deals large and small. He is highly collaborative, quick to learn new categories and sensitive to understanding the balance between legal risk exposure and busines...s opportunity. He is also supportive in stepping in to directly manage more complicated legal issues. I would recommend Mike's talents across a range of business and legal categories.

Top Shelf Attorney

Mike is a superb attorney with a keen mind (and dry sense of humor). He's also a subject matter expert in business and advertising law, including promotional ads targeting demographic groups. Mike has a methodical way of approaching legal problems -- just the type of attorney one needs to resolve c...omplex issues. I recommend him without reservation!

Put him on your short-list

Michael and I worked together frequently and I found him to be an extremely knowledgeable, highly analytical and unflinchingly trustworthy partner. There was never any doubt about Michael's consultation - his direction and advice was always well considered and expertly communicated. Simply put? He...'s a gem - put him on your short-list.

"Unique ability to cut through the clutter"

As part of the leadership team at Hasbro I have worked closely with Michael on numerous multimillion dollar deals with technology providers. His ability to cut through the clutter, interpret legal language and identify contractual pitfalls is exceptional. His experience speaks for itself, but my... recommendation is most heavily influenced by Michael's character. He is a competent, responsible person who takes his work seriously. Michael is a gifted attorney whom I recommend both on a professional and a personal basis.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
