Business Attorney | Dec 21
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I worked on the opposite side of the table with Michael on a rather contentious matter. In a deal that could easily have devolved into litigation, Michael took a productive, non-confrontational approach, while at the same time standing up for his client's rights and budging only so far as was necessary to come to an acceptable deal. I truly enjoyed working with Michael, and strongly recommend his services."
