"I first worked with Mike over 15 years ago and have maintained a professional relationship with him since that time. I have complete confidence in him as a trial attorney and trust that the attorneys and staff he has hired or parterned with in his own firm are highly competent and and trustworthy as well. To that extent, I have felt very comfortable referring high value personal injury matters to him and his firm for handling knowing that he will strive to push the case, take care of the client and do what he can to obtain the best possible results.
