About Michael
Biography
Even though I chose to become an attorney as my second career, I have been helping people and serving this great community my entire adult life. I began as a paramedic primarily working in East Bakersfield. I later moved into upper management for the ambulance company and oversaw the management of several emergency and nonemergency ambulance companies throughout the state. Ultimately I became the program director and flight paramedic for the local medivac helicopter were I could serve the critically ill and injured in Kern and the surrounding counties. My lifelong dedication to service has followed me to my law carreer and I will FIGHT TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS!

Replied last March 29, 2018Thank you for your feedback. Although, it is difficult to address any specific issues with an anonymous user, I would invite this poster to contact me directly to discuss the issue. My office strives to provide excellent representation all of my clients. One of the benefits to many is that I take care of their matter so that they do not need to take time out of their busy lives to get a resolution to their legal matter. While some clients find solace in the knowing that their matter is being handled, others need a little more reassurance. I apologize that your experience is not all that you expected, and I will try to more accurately assess the personal needs of my client's, while I address their legal issues.
