Michael is an outstanding trial attorney in every respect. I was co-counsel with him on a capital homicide case that was tried to a jury and ended with a positive result. He was consistently well-prepared and had an ironclad grasp of the voluminous discovery. His cross-examinations were effective and appropriately aggressive and his closing argument clearly resonated with the jury. He's a good guy with a quick wit who was a pleasure to work with. Michael is truly a credit to our profession. Read less
