Defective and dangerous products Attorney | Feb 17
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Michael is one of the smartest lawyers I have worked with. We have worked on cases I typically handle and he doesn't, and he understands and seems to be a veteran after very little time. However, I have worked on cases with him in which I needed his experience, for example, products liability cases and his knowledge in this area of practice is outstanding and unmatched. Most importantly he is genuine and honest, and has a great reputation known throughout the state."
