My philosophy is that every criminal case is initially headed for either dismissal or trial. This mindset helps me prepare for both serious felony cases and simple municipal traffic tickets.

I am an active trial attorney, trying several each year. There's no sugar-coating it: trials are expensive. But I'm willing to put in the work to get you your best trial results possible.

Amazing people

I’m so thankful we consulted and hired Michael. He has been absolutely amazing for us and never stopping working for us. Some things happened that had to pause our custody case but even then he didn’t give up, he let me know what he could still do for us and let me know he was ready to go again when ...it comes time! Highly Recommend him. He has such an amazing staff, very honest and caring people! Erin is one of his paralegals and she has become more like family to me. There are not enough words to show my appreciation for this group of people during a hard time for us!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
