Appreciative

Top notch. The lawyer you would want in the Seattle area if you need one. I found him available -- always returned my calls right away. The process can be an intimidating one, but he explains everything clearly and you won't feel surprised. His experience as a criminal defense attorney is evident... in the way he handles himself before the court. I'd call him well prepared.

David B. Richardson headshot
David Richardson

Personal injury lawyer | Sep 01

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Michael is one of the most experienced trial lawyers in our community. He has tried literally hundreds of cases to juries in both the criminal and personal injury arenas. He is completely at home in the courtroom. He and I have shared several cases together as co-counsel and he has assisted me as a trial consultant. He understands how juries think and how to present cases to them. Because he is such an experienced trial lawyer, many of his cases settle with excellent results because opponents understand that he is more than ready to meet them in the courtroom. He is also a wonderful human being and a great listener. I wholeheartedly endorse his work."

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.
