Respect
Despite the challenges and complexities of my case, Michael was on-top of things and went above and beyond the expectations of paid counsel. While his work was excellent as expected, what stood out for me was the fact that he ensured I maintained my dignity and respect throughout this arduous process...
"Michael is an effective listener, and he is analytical which are two qualities that make Michael an incredible advocate. As a co-worker, he has been instrumental in my learning as he has taken the time to teach others through thoughtful discourse. He acts similarly with his clients by taking the time to explain the intricacies of each case with his clients. I strongly endorse Michael!"
"I have respected Michael since our time together at Tulane Law. However, having since worked with him as a colleague at Tully Rinckey, I can now confidently say that Michael is truly a credit to the profession. He is astute and incisive, and has the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate the complicated field of employment discrimination law. Just as importantly, he is also dedicated, empathetic and honest - exactly the type of person you want in your corner during difficult times."
