Cuts through the haze

I previously used Michael years ago during my divorce, custody, and support actions in family court. He is courteous, straight forward and creative in his thinking. Most recently I had a judgement entered against me by Discover Card and Mike is helping me to defend myself from a huge relentless behem...oth. The best advise he gives is when to recognize that action is needed and when to say nothing, do nothing. He always dispels my irrational tendencies to react emotionally instead of constructively. I highly recommend him. He is one of the few vendors I actually pay willingly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
