Michael was a very caring and compassionate lawyer to work with. I felt truly heard by him, and felt that he was invested in my case. Even though my case was may have turned out to more of a simple citation, I felt that Michael treated it with care, respect and integrity.
I appreciate that Michael kept me up to date and in the loop with all of the details of my case, and I could tell that he stayed on top of any detail that was pertinent to me and case. At a certain point it seemed almost certain that my case was about to be dismissed, but still Michael made his presence known as my representative
