I do not know of another lawyer in Alabama who I would trust more to handle a legal dispute with a credit agency. He is a true professional and a terrific advocate.

Micah's work doesn't just involve Credit Card Fraud, but that is one of the ways he helps seniors. He is an advocate for anyone, young or old, who falls prey to con artists. He is very knowledgeable about fraud and is an engaging public speaker, so if you have a group wanting to learn how to protect against fraud, give him a call.
