Reviews for Michael
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Michael was my guardian angel along with Tara in the case. I was up against one of those grandstanding lawyers who just stir up drama. Michael taught me to be still and let them weave their own web to get caught up in. Tara was great at defending me against false allegations with both of the lawyers she had to deal with. Her two liners are gems. All in all I didn't understand things as they happened but as I looked at it in reverse I'm very happy I went with this firm and Michael and Tara.
