“Being an attorney provides me with a true sense of pride and accomplishment after reaching the best possible outcome on behalf of each and every one of my clients.”

Michael focuses his law practice primarily on insurance defense and personal injury, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. Representing both sides allows a unique understanding of the challenges clients face in actions ranging from serious automobile collisions and property damage to sexual assault and wrongful death. Michael brings a strong work ethic, discipline, attention to detail, communication, and punctuality to provide effective legal representation and an enjoyable attorney-client relationship.

Michael joined the firm after graduating from law school in 2016 and is now a shareholder. Prior to a career in law, Michael earned a bachelor's degree in psychology, then joined the United States Army Reserve and attended Officer Candidate School in Fort Benning, Georgia. Michael has continued to serve in the Army Reserve since and has received multiple commendations for distinguished service. He is a Reserve officer with the rank of Major, serving in the Judge Advocate General Corps, a member of the Washington State Bar Association, and is admitted to practice in Washington courts. 

Michael was initially drawn to the practice of law out of his love of continuous learning and ability to apply analytical thinking to unique situations. Combined with a desire to work in an individual client-based career where personal relationships are paramount, the practice of law was a perfect fit. Michael desired to follow a career path where his work truly mattered to those he was serving, and for many, there is no more seemingly critical time in one's life than when they are involved in a lawsuit.
