Mediation lawyer | Jul 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I’ve known Michael Wilk for over 20 years. I first met Michael when our firms were co-counsel for a mutual client on a major piece of intellectual property litigation. Michael was the lead lawyer for our side and I was one of the younger associates working under his direction. I was quickly impressed by Michael in many ways, from his keen intellect, courtroom presence, and ability to persuade to his fun personality and great sense of humor. When Michael started focusing his practice in the area of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), I did not hesitate to use Michael as a mediator. Not surprisingly, I found Michael to be a gifted mediator – one of the very best I’ve ever encountered. Michael is known for his business acumen and creative problem-solving skills, and is also highly respected as a leader and author in the ADR field. If you are in need of a top-flight mediator or arbitrator, I highly recommend Michael. You will not be disappointed."
