Paul Scollan, Litigation Attorney on Feb 23, 2014
Relationship: Friend
Michael is a tireless advocate who tenaciously represents his clients in litigation. He prepares his cases well and has no aversion about going to trial if he cannot secure a fair and reasonable settlement for the client. His skills also include the ability to file and effectively argue an appeal. Michael is an experienced and reliable resource who I will continue to use for counsel and referrals.
