Posted by Jamie | September 15, 2014 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Solid lawyer with a knack for getting to the point….referred to me by a great lawyer who was conflicted out on a case.

Like many issues in BK court this one dragged out. Michael kept me informed but never ran up the clock by writing when a 15 minute call would do. He was super smart…but brought the issues to a point where I, the client, could understand the options. Great guy.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
