About Michael
Biography
I am passionate about the law, my clients and my firm. I take great pride in representing my clients in the same way that I would represent a member of my immediate family. I try to focus on the unique needs, goals and background of each client. Accidents might happen in the same way or on the same road, but the effects of an accident are never the same for each client. It is important for me to understand the cirmstances of my clients, because only then will I be able to represent them like family.
On the personal side, my free time is spent almost exclusively with my family. I am blessed to be married to my high school sweetheart and we have two adult children. My wife and I also volunteer for Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida so from time to time we also have "foster" dogs as members of our family in addition to our Chocolate Lab, Fisher.
We spend our free time fishing, traveling, hiking, attending sporting events (Go Rays!!), and enjoying other outdoor activities. Since we have Labrador Retrievers, we also spend a lot of time on floor maintenance at home!

Experience Counts
Mike has represented my business for a number of years. His experience and professionalism are unmatched. What Mike offers in personalized service cannot be matched by the "Bill Board" legal factories. Mike makes everyone he represents feel like his most important client.
