Mike has assisted me on personal and business matters and remains our attorney. Estate Planning/Reconciliation and Business buyout. Not only did he and his staff make everything a smooth transaction, but educated me along the way. Great partner to have on your team.

  • 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.
