Extremely knowledgeable and pleasant attorney

I went to Mike for a minor employment issue, but because of his knowledge of the laws found there was much more that was incorrect than I realized. He worked with me patiently as I gathered the information required and took the time to represent me in an ethical and professional manner. He also took ...the time far after the case was settled to read over paperwork and advise a family member on an unrelated situation they were going through. He is a terrific lawyer.
