About Michael
Biography
I'm a local boy born and bred right here in Imperial County, CA. In the past, I was a substitute teacher for various local school districts, a newspaper reporter for the Imperial Valley Press, a paralegal, and now I'm an attorney based in El Centro, CA.
I'm always available to speak with clients, and I offer affordable flat-rate attorney fees. I have assisted with hundreds of bankruptcies and saved clients millions of dollars in debt settlements.
