He is known for being an aggressive litigator and for covering every detail of a case and exploring every possible angle. Michael knows that each client is unique, and each case is different. Therefore, he takes pride in knowing who our clients are, working as a team with them, and explains everything thoroughly and clearly so that they can make the best and most informed decision with confidence that best suits their personal situation and well-being.

In his spare time, Michael enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, while coaching his kids’ teams, playing the guitar and cycling.
