Eric Parker, Chapter 11 bankruptcy Attorney on Mar 17, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have had Michael work with several of my clients who needed to file bankruptcy under difficult situations. In my experience, many bankruptcy lawyers handle a large volume of cases without much attention to the individual needs of the client. With Michael, it was just the opposite, he really paid attention to the details and addressed their individual needs. In addition, he is easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Michael is a hard worker that will go the extra mile for his clients and fellow lawyers. I would trust him with any legal matter that is outside of my expertise. If you need someone that will work hard for you or your client, call MJG.....
