Robert Hill, Family Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Knowledgeable about the law and sensible in his approach to resolving and litigating cases in a way to achieve best possible results at lowest possible cost, I am confident in recommending Mike to anyone seeking competent legal representation in a family law matter. It helps that he is very involved in the local bar and both known and respected by the judges and judicial officers in the counties in which he practices.
Randolph Finney, Divorce and separation Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
