Completely Thorough Attention to Detail

I was introduced to Michael over three years ago when he took over a large portion of my whistleblower retaliation case against a large municipality. He has held a dual role in dealing with OSHA matters, as well as the Federal case. He has an amazing propensity to filter through an extraordinary am...ount of material and pick out all that is relevant. At times, I have told others, I speak to him more than I do my wife. He has kept me abreast of all the developments in both cases and, along with his team, has made amazing recommendations which have resulted in very positive outcomes. Michael also takes a personal interest in his clients and realizes the emotional strain this has on a person. There are times he has called just to see how I’m holding up. His concern has been greatly appreciated. Over the years, I’ve come to regard him as a great friend as well as a brilliant attorney. I cannot say enough about the amount of time and energy he has spent to deliver justice to my case. I don’t believe you will find an attorney anywhere with the level of dedication of Michael and his team.

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.
