Fantastic advocate

So happy that we found Mike for our project-he’s a true professional who gets the job done; no runarounds-just results. There are FAR too many meek and half-baked attorneys nowadays, so it was a welcome change to have such a zealous and knowledgeable guy like Mike on our side. Most importantly, our p...roposal was approved thanks to Mike’s relentless efforts. Thanks again, Mike! -John

Posted by anonymous | August 21, 2012 | Land Use & Zoning

Best land use attorney I've ever worked with.

Mike's presentation, fearlessness while under scrutiny, combined with his knowledge, experience and work ethic easily makes him an authority on all things regarding zoning/land use. I had the pleasure of working with Michael after reading his publication: Land Use Navigator. The only downside is the... firm in which he works(not his fault, his co-workers just seem to have an affinity to steal/take credit for his work+ they are impossible to deal with due to their egotistical mannerisms). Michael is truly a gem and I hope he starts a private practice soon so I won't have to deal with his petty administration. Rock on Mike, your mixture of professionalism, knowledge and candor make you easily one of the best, if not the best in your field in the San Francisco Bay Area. I highly recommend him and will continue to use him for the many new developments we have planned. Great working with you Mike! We will be in touch.

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.
