"I endorse this lawyer's work. Michael gives incredible personal service, and offers his expertise to every client that I refer. Michael is professional and an expert in his field."
"I have had the privilege of working with Michael for two years on both transactional and litigation matters arising in the business world. In addition to a keen legal mind, Michael has a tremendous instinct for looking for solutions to problems. His interest is the protection and satisfaction of the client, not in achieving technical "legal victories" that do little to advance his clients' business goals. Although we work in the same firm, I can unequivocally state that when I need a lawyer, Michael gets the call."
"Michael Cross is a very good transactional attorney. Although a local competitor, I recommend him when I am unable to take certain cases due to conflicts etc."
