This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent attorney

Michael was very thorough and well prepared; he did an excellent job of representing my interests. He was also very kind in providing emotional support and guidance during a difficult time. I felt safe and protected with him by my side. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing an att...orney.

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.
