About Michael
Biography
I have represented homeowners' associations, property owners, municipalities, developers, contractors, and insurance companies in every kind of real estate or construiction matter for over 20 years all over California. I worked full time for a real estate/construction firm during law school, and have represented clients in litigation and real estate transactions ever since. My current practice is primarily representation of property owners in litigation, but I have handled may transactional matters as well. I work to be very sensitive to my clients' needs, and work hard to protect their interests in any matter.
My work out of the firm's East Bay and Orange County offices, but modern technology allows me to handle cases all over California.
