“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.”

WHY LAW?

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