Ned Garn, Litigation Attorney on Apr 23, 2020
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I met Mike about 15 years ago when our firms were in the same building and we often consulted each other. Those discussions evolved in working together on several matters. Mike is hard-working and genuinely concerned about his clients. I don't know any other practicing lawyer who spends more time thinking about being ethical (in and out of the legal arena). He brings a can-do creative attitude to handling difficult cases.
Justin Castillo, Real estate Attorney on Apr 22, 2020
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Over the years, Michael and I have served as either as counsel for co-defendants or in representing adverse parties. I enjoy practicing with him, as he is goal-oriented and works on finding solutions. He is smart, articulate, creative, and is an effective communicator. He has a talent for boiling legal concepts down into plain English (an invaluable skill in my opinion) and is an effective advocate for his clients. I recommend Michael for anyone who needs help navigating real estate law.
Todd Jarvis, Business Attorney on Mar 27, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker
I would not hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone who wants a experienced, knowledgeable, and sincere advocate or counselor. His passion for entrepreneurship drives him to do an extraordinary job guiding business clients through the many issues that come up when considering a new venture.
Jeffrey Brei, Real estate Attorney on Feb 4, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Mike and I have opposed one another on legal matters for our clients on several occasions. Mike knows the law very well and is an excellent advocate for his clients!
Patricia Breen, Litigation Attorney on Jan 29, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker
I highly recommend Michael. He has a pragmatic outlook on matters so you know you will always be getting the real facts from him. He is always striving to meet the client’s objectives while balancing any external factors encountered in the particular matter. Mike has a successful practice in tax lien litigation and is the go to person for such matters. He also manages two tax lien investment funds. Michael would be a valuable asset to have on your side in any general business matter, a business dispute, commercial litigation, or motor-vehicle injury case.
Brian Longenbaugh, Real estate Attorney on Nov 14, 2014

Michael is knowledgeable in a broad array of real estate issues. He is also a creative and practical problem-solver.
