Top notch lawyer

Michael is a top notch lawyer. He works hard for his clients and takes the extra time to make sure they get what they want. He is a great listener, very professional, well spoken, and knows the law like he is Wikipedia. He helped me get custody of my son in Iowa, which is unusual in this state. Go wi...th Michael if you want the job done right.

Will preparation

Michael gave my husband and I peace of mind by helping us set up our will, knowing our children would be in good hands should something happen to my husband or me. He is extremely knowledgeable and exactly who you want in your corner, should you need legal advice.

Experience

Rating:  4.6 (Concern)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Reprimand issued in IA, 2021

updated on 03/25/2022

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
