Since joining the firm, he has advanced his career, unburdening clients from both emotional, physical and financial strain who need a trusted and capable advocate on their side. In his capacity as a trial lawyer, Michael handled very complex personal injury claims, whether the complexity arose from the type of injuries involved, such as brain injuries, or because the claims involved tens of parties in a singular catastrophe.
