Michael is an exceptionally bright and thoughtful lawyer, and his work product and analysis are far more advanced beyond his years. He has an excellent grasp of employment law, and anyone would be fortunate to have him as an advocate.

Mike is an intelligent and hard-working attorney, and a good friend. I have had the pleasure of working with him on a number of cases. All ended with excellent results.
