I worked with Michael in a litigation matter. Michael has the rare quality of both being a fierce advocate for his client while being a considerate professional to other members of the bar and the court. He has a sharp legal mind, the capacity to retain every detail of a case, and a skilled performer in the courtroom. I was fortunate he was on my side.
