Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Mike is an excellent and fully dedicated attorney. I've had the pleasure of working with him in the past and have never encountered someone who analyzes legal issues from such nuanced angles. Mike can win the battle for you before the war... his creative and to-the-point writing style is very effective. His experience in construction law and commercial litigation are also extensive. Bottom line: I'm proud to have worked with him in the past and hope to have the opportunity to do so again in the future."
