About 100 armed government agents descended on our several locations early one morning with search warrants in hand. They later claimed to have found enough to shut down the company and put the officers in jail. Over the course of the next year, Mike was there for us whenever needed in phone conferences and in person. He stayed in very close contact with the government and was able to head-off many undesirable outcomes during the year. For us, this was among Mike's most valuable assets-knowing who to contact on the government side and making the most of those contacts. He got our side fully prepared for various court appearances and was almost solely responsible for a much more favorable outcome than anyone had predicted. We have dealt with other law firms, and in our opinion Mike is and his team are at the very top of their profession. Mike has absolutely cracked the code on how to get the very best possible deal that could ever be obtained from the government, so the company's officers still have their freedom and the company is still in business. Mike has an incredible breadth and depth of experience on both sides of the law and uses it to its full extent to get the best outcome for his client.
