Whistleblower Case
Michael Doyle represented me in a whistleblower case against the state of North Carolina. During the week and half jury trial Mr. Doyle exhibited superior skills as a trial attorney. His lawering skills lead to an large verdict in my favor.

Michael P. Doyle's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mike Doyle is the best of the best lawyers in the United States. Taking on the biggest companies in the world. Willig to fight and win for the little guy."
"Michael has a tremendous national reputation in Aviation Law."
"I had the good fortune to work for Mike Doyle at a previous firm, and have continued to watch his firm's numerous successes since then. I know firsthand that Mike has incredible energy and relentlessly pursues each case on behalf of his client. His practice combines old-fashioned trial lawyering with cutting-edge technology, with highly effective results. I unreservedly recommend Mike as an excellent attorney."
"A brilliant lawyer who works extremely hard for his clients. I endorse this lawyer's work."
"Mike Doyle is, without question, the finest maritime and aviation plaintiffs lawyer working in Houston today. On May 11, 2009, he hit two maritime defendants with a jury verdict of more than 4.5 million dollars--one of the largest maritime personal injury verdicts in Houston. Mike is a natural in the courtroom. Jurors love him, Judges respect him, and defense lawyers fear him. If you have a Jones Act Claim, an Aviation Death Claim, or a Maritime Personal Injury Claim, Mike Doyle is definitely the man to see."
