While Michael was a pre-med student in college, his landlord broke the lease agreement, assuming that a young student would just go along with the unlawful demands. Michael took the landlord to court, representing himself, and won. The next semester, he changed his major and decided to pursue a career in law.
As a young lawyer, Michael represented clients that include a model whose agent tried to take advantage of her; overseas parents who did not receive their deceased son’s body after paying to have it shipped to them; a start-up company fighting multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies over the development of a novel drug; the parents of a premature infant that died as the result of medical malpractice; a soldier that was severely injured when a Blackhawk helicopter crashed due to a manufacturing defect; and a foreign government that shut down a bank over money-laundering concerns.
MICHAEL CONTINUES TO PURSUE THE “BAD GUY” AND CONFRONT CORPORATE GREED.
He recently represented hundreds of retirees that lost much of their life savings to an international Ponzi scheme. He represents hundreds of others injured by dangerous products and chemicals throughout the United States. He understands that families injured by big companies may feel intimidated or lost as they think about getting involved in complex litigation. He is committed to guide his clients through the legal process and seek justice against reckless businesses that place profits over people.
