Litigation lawyer | Dec 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Mike on a number of matters over the years and consider him to be both an outstanding attorney and trial lawyer. Mike has a unique ability to understand complex business and commercial matters and to reduce them to their simplest, common sense elements in order to present them in a compelling and understandable manner to the court and jury. His ability to identify, understand and articulate creative solutions to key issues and to respond on his feet is superior to that of many of his peers. If I am ever in need of co-counsel on a complex matter, he is the first attorney I would call."

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.
