About Michael
Biography
I’ve been licensed to practice in North Carolina for quite some time. During that time my staff and I have helped hundreds of people with their criminal charges. Each person we’ve helped had their own individual needs and wants, but over time one thing became clear:
At the end of the day, most people want an attorney they can trust will take care of them. Every day when I wake up and put my suit on, I am ready to do whatever it takes to make sure your life stays on your desired path. I practice law with one goal in mind:
To give clients the best representation possible, which is what they need and deserve. In my experiences, I’ve learned a couple of important things about choosing a lawyer.
First, there are attorneys out there who don’t perform as promised.
Second, having a good attorney on your side could be the difference between a terrible outcome and a great one.
When you seek legal representation, it is extremely important to look at more than just the number of years the attorney has practiced law. When you work with me, you get the legal experience and aggressive representation that your case deserves.

I Fully Trust Michael to Represent My Son Well - Part 2
After working on my son's behalf to defer his prosecution for 5 months, his charges have now been dismissed, as Michael had assured us. We have continued to trust his advice and efforts, while he has appeared in court on my son's behalf without my son having to be present, since we live out-of-state...
