Mike brings a practical, outcome-driven approach to serve his clients’ interests described as “a personal connection like no other lawyer” and an “aggressive representation with personal service”. Injured victims have recovered well over $1 million through Mike’s representation in auto accident; dog bite; product liability and discrimination claims. He has successfully litigated a variety of complex business cases, ranging from partnership disputes to successfully defending a non-compete agreement.

However, if litigation is necessary, he draws on his experience in the courtroom to produce outcomes worthy of his clients’ trust. Mike uses his legal experience in the community, as well.
