Michael was a real pleasure to work with. I had a difficult situation presented to me and of all the Lawyers I contacted Michael was willing to listen to me, meet with me at NO COST and provided me valuable information. I never felt like I was wasting his time. He was engaged the whole time and really helped answer my questions. He was even available after hours to answer questions.
