About Michael
Biography
After working nearly 20 years as an in-house corporate and reguatory attorney, in early 2015, I started my own law practice. I now represent individuals, professionals and business owners by applying the experience gained in reviewing, interpreting and enforcing complex and often ambiguous rules and regulations to assist clients in achieving the best possible outcome for themselves, their family, and their business.
