Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Mike provides dedicated, thorough and conscientious advocacy for his clients in family law matters. I have referred my own clients to Mike in the past, and have always received positive reviews back on how pleased they were with his representation. I will continue to refer clients to Mike in the future because I know he will treat them and their issues with respect and provide individualized counsel and advice.
I have found Michael to be very knowledgeable in the areas of estate planning, probate, and elder law. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the Waunakee/Madison area.
