I was impressed with Michael's examinations of witnesses during depositions and arbitration hearings, as well as his knowledge of the law, in particular as it pertains to Chicago Transit Authority policies and procedures. Michael is a fine example of how one can be a zealous advocate for one's client, and yet maintain a high level of courtesy, composure, cooperation and respect. I look forward to working with Michael again on future cases."
