Caring Attorney

I hired Michael because he helped a friend of mine in an employment dispute and my friend received a favorable outcome. Thankfully my out come turned out favorably also. I was fired from my job when I was at home caring for a seriously ill child. I went to Michael for help and we were able to resolv...e the situation. Michael even lowered his fee for me and worked with me regarding the retainer. He knew I didn't have money and worked with me on a plan. He doesn't talk down to you like some attorneys do. I'm glad the situation Is over and I can move on with my life. I whole heartedly recommend Michael. He's a top notch attorney who cares about his clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
