Very patient and helpful

I called Michael about a wrongful termination case, he was thorough in answering my questions and gave me solid advice. I would likely hire him if I find myself in the needing to hire a wrongful termination lawyer. Thanks again for your time!

Fish and Game issue

I found Michael through an online search. He gave me some great advice and pointed me in the direction of what I should look for in a lawyer closer to me, since he was out of my area. I did not find anyone with the same level of experience as Michael and he agreed to handle my case even though I was ...in a different part of California. He has been a pleasure to work with and was always available to answer any questions with different options so that I could make informed decisions about how I wanted to proceed. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

  • 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.
