About Michael
Practice areas
- Litigation: 40%
I am a trial attorney. There is no better way to spend a week than talking with a Comal, Guadalupe or Bexar County Jury about the merits and issues of a pending case. I am firm believer that a "Jury of One's Peers" is the best tool our Constitution provides to guarantee a fair result for every person, regardless of their class or situtation.
- Business: 40%
Our firm nurtures small to medium businesses and provides direction in employer/employee relations. Your business needs a strong advocate, as it heads into uncharted waters.
- Contracts and agreements: 20%
From the simplest residential lease to the multi-million dollar business purchase, every transaction must be diligently papered to reflect the Agreement. Take the time to do it right at the beginning and you may avoid a lawsuit in the end.
