"I originally met Mike over a decade ago, just a few years after I began practicing law, when we were co-counsel in a convoluted and protracted copyright case. It was a pleasure working with him, particularly as a young attorney in an otherwise very contentious case, and I have looked to him as a mentor ever since. He has provided solid guidance on a number of unusual issues over the years, and he is extremely knowledgeable about franchise law in particular. He is also very patient and has an unusually calm demeanor - but he is by no means timid. In short, I endorse and recommend him without reservation for any potential client who seeks assistance with franchise matters or any number of other commercial/business practice areas."
"I met Michael at a lawyers conference. Both of us being business lawyers, I was impressed by Michael's extensive knowledge in the field and would highly recommend clients in his locale to him for their business needs."
"This attorney is among the top in their field. I would surely refer clients who needed help in his community. Michael is very competent and very good with his clients. Highly recommended."
"I recently attended a conference with Michael and found him to be highly knowledgeable in the areas of franchising and business law. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Atlanta area. Very professional and experienced."
