WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND MICHAEL
We hired Michael to fight for us with unscrupulous contractors who had mishandled tens of thousands of dollars of money we had given them for work scheduled to be done on a property. He successfully recovered $40,000 for us, and we have been grateful to him ever since!
