Caring & Dedicated Lawyer-- Highly Recommended!

I truly appreciate all that Mike has done for me. He is knowledgeable, professional, personable and very easy to communicate with. My case definitely was a tough one, and Mike always advised me of the potential positives and unknown factors, so I had all of the up-to-date information related to my c...ase. His work ethic, responsiveness, attention to detail, and determination are leading and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

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.
