A Practice Built On Experience, Intelligence and Integrity

Needing a lawyer is like needing a surgeon – you wish you didn’t. But when you are in need, you want someone with three key traits: experience, intelligence and integrity. Experience because it takes time to get good at something complicated. Intelligence because every case presents unique challenges. Integrity because you’re putting yourself in someone else’s hands, and you need to feel comfortable.

What Our Clients Say

“I feel extremely fortunate to have met Mike and even more so to have been represented by him in a complex disability lawsuit. He took my case on knowing it was an uphill battle, but his strategic approach, legal acumen, excellent communication skills and overall tenacity brought my case to a close with a best case scenario ending. Mike took complete ownership of my circumstances and really took a personal interest in getting a positive outcome for me. I firmly believe that Mike was the X factor that allowed my case to come to a positive close and I don’t think any other lawyer would have achieved the same results. Mike saved my career and I am eternally grateful for that. I would jump at the chance to hire him again.”
