Client

I was referred to Michael by a relative. I needed guidance over possible probate and Michael was able to answer all of my questions. He was very thorough and transparent which I appreciated. He was able to help me take care of matters quickly and avoid probate altogether. I will be looking to hav...e him set up my family trust.

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.
