CLIENT-CENTERED PRACTICE
I do more than just represent my clients in court. My mission is to understand who my clients are, what they need, and use my knowledge of the law to solve their problem. I do this by:
- Basing fees on the needs of my client. My time is valuable, but so is my client’s well-being. We all have families and other expenses. A lawyer should not cause someone to go broke or take out a high interest loan.
- Explaining the law in a clear manner. Most of my clients did not go to law school. I always try to remember that.
- Communicating efficiently. I am accessible, responsive, and use modern technology. I encourage secure text messaging over Signal as well as the use of Zoom, Meet, Teams, Skype, and FaceTime.
- Studying the law. I truly find the law fascinating. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “The law embodies the story of a nation’s development through many centuries.” As client and lawyer, you and I have the chance to participate in this development.
PRACTICE AREAS
Mike has tried countless jury and non-jury trials in the federal and state courts
The Law Exists to Preserve and Enlarge Liberty, Not to Oppress.
The legal system is the one place where everyone, regardless of background, is supposed to get a fair shot. And that’s exactly what I fight for every day.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
