Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Michael was the assistant district attorney assigned to a number of juvenile court cases I handled in 2014. I always appreciated that he was prepared and knowledgeable in both the facts and the law particular to those cases.

Mike has done a tremendous job working with our firm. He is dedicated to his clients and he fights hard for them. Clients and other attorneys alike enjoy working with Mike. I recommend him for a broad range of litigation and transactional work.
