"I started my legal career working for Michael as a law clerk, and continued to work with him as an attorney for the next seven years. He instinctively took on a role of mentor to me, and I learned so much from him both professionally and personally. Michael shared his experience as a litigator and his vast knowledge of the law, and helped guide me through some of the most complex cases I've ever worked on. Michael always went the extra mile for both his colleagues and his clients, and I cannot recommend him strongly enough."
"Michael is meticulous in his approach and is very personable both inside and outside of the courtroom. I highly endorse this lawyer."
