This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great experience.

I have debts in student loans, court costs and collection agencies, they are all coming after me at the same time, me being recently released from prison 2 months ago, it is a lot to take in right now. I'm currently at a homeless shelter just trying to make it in the world and Michael is making this ...dream of living a normal life come true, he was very professional and added a personal touch to this experience. I would recommend him to friends and family if ever in need of help, thank you for your time and consideration.

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.
