About Michael
Biography
I have worked my entire career in the Law. I was employed as a legal intern through my undergraduate degree at Johns Hopkins University. In this position, I worked for a large Baltimore, Maryland Law Firm in their Landlord Tenant and Collections division representing large landlord conglomerates and the largest bail bond company in the State of Maryland. I continued in this position until I was accepted to Law School where I received a Presidential Law Scholarship at Seattle University. Since entering Law School, I have been in and around the area of Family Law for several years. I began practicing in this area as a Rule 9 Intern with the Law Offices of Natalie de Maar. The Rule 9 Intern position provided me with a limited license to represent clients. After graduating Law School, I became an associate with Mrs. De Maar’s firm.
I strongly believe that you should understand why a lawyer concentrates their practice heavily on family law. I have done so primarily for two reasons. The first is a family law client is a uniquely vulnerable client. A family law client often finds himself or herself facing an unknown future. It can be emotional, frustrating, and exasperating. My goal is to assist my clients through this difficult time, and to help set a course forward toward financial and emotional stability. In other words, my goal is to help provide my clients and their children, a path forward. My second draw to family law is that I truly enjoy working with everyday people. As a result, I find that working with family law clients to be extremely rewarding and to be a fascinating area of the law.
I look forward to serving your Family Law needs.

Great Lawyer
I hired Michael for for a prenup and was very happy with his work. He was very quick to respond and to complete the contract. I was happy he was able to get along with my future wife and her lawyer and get a good agreement together that protects both of us.

A wonderful advocate at a great price
Michael is a relatively young lawyer who helped me through my divorce. He is an associate at a small law firm and given my concerns over costs, he was given my case rather than a more senior attorney at the firm/ Michael looks a little young, but do not let his age deceive you. He was shockingly k...
