Make sure you shop around
Very costly / time consuming mistake/poor communication Had to move forward to another firm
"I have worked with Michael for many years, both as opposing counsel and co-counsel. I have trust his judgment; he brings solid insight and experience to every case. I refer overflow work to him and have no concerns about his ability to handle a client's case with compassion, competency, and professionalism. I can also call Michael to bounce a case around and he provides his opinion to help me think something through. Michael is a valued colleague in the difficult area of law in which we practice."
"I have known Mike since he first started out in his practice over 20 years ago. He is very smart and is a hard worker. He has my highest recommendation and even better, since moving away from Jacksonville, I recommend my clients to him when they need representation in Northeast Florida."
