Michael has experience with a broad array of practice areas, including claims involving breach of contract, insurance coverage, data privacy, construction, professional liability, employment disputes and health care. He has built client trust by skillfully leading settlement negotiations, taking and defending depositions, and briefing and arguing motions and appeals before various tribunals. Michael strives to provide clients with dedicated and creative representation in order to resolve disputes successfully and in a cost-effective manner. He takes pride in being able to deliver clients with prompt and practical solutions when problems arise so that they can make well-informed business decisions.

Before joining Fox Rothschild, Michael was previously an attorney at a boutique Minneapolis firm where he gained significant litigation experience. Before becoming a practicing attorney, Michael served as a judicial law clerk in the Minnesota District Court, and also worked under a Federal Magistrate at the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. These clerkship experiences provided Michael with the unique perspective of seeing how decisions are made by judges, and allowed him to observe what makes a successful position versus what pitfalls to avoid.
