I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology at the University of Utah, while also taking Chemistry and Physics courses as well. From there, I moved out to Sacramento, CA and went to The University of the Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law, where I received a Doctorate of Law degree, while also specializing in Intellectual Property Law (including Patent, Trademark, Copyright, Sports and Entertainment Law). During law school, I interned at the Public Defender’s Office in the Juvenile department and began my career as a defense attorney.
I really look forward to meeting you and helping you feel comfortable with understanding your rights and what to expect from the judicial system. I promise that I will do so with compassion and respect while maintaining my ethical duties to my clients and the courts.

Would recommend, great attorney
Michael was very compassionate with my case, and walked me through everything patiently. I would recommend if you’re dealing with a narcissistic parent.
