About
I've been practicing law for over twenty years, most of it in Thurston County, with occasional sojourns into neighboring counties such as Mason and Lewis. Family law has always been my emphasis. I became a family law Guardian ad Litem in 2011, and now frequently serve as a mentor for new GAL's. For a time, I accepted court appointments representing minor children in dependency cases.Client satisfaction is my top priority. I strive to remain highly accessible at all times, whether it be by email or telephone. I do my best to return every client's call promptly. I'm also mindful of the financial impact the case has on the client - hiring a lawyer is expensive, but the costs should not be unreasonable or exorbitant. I believe in educating the client along the way, both regarding the law and the process, so that they may make an informed decision about their case. I believe that the best outcomes are the agreed ones, but I do also spend plenty of time arguing my client's position in court when a reasonable agreement cannot be reached.I love what I do and consider myself fortunate to be in a profession that allows me to help people in such a profound way. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and vigorously pursuing various fantasy baseball or football league championships. I live in Olympia with my two children.

Mike is a great listener and quickly demonstrated his expertise to tackle our case. He is very personable and conveys a caring and commitment often not found in family law practicing attorneys. His depth of knowledge and experience are paramount. A 5 Star Attorney!
Michael provided me an option that met the needs of my situation back in 05’ & then again in 2010. I don’t know what I would’ve done otherwise. He genuinely cared and provided excellent professional counsel. Michael was consistently responsive & conscientious of my limited budget. Over the years since, I have had multiple opportunities to observe him serving youth and parents alike in custodial-related hearings, during my role as a social worker. Michael continues to ‘walk the talk’ & assist others in finishing well during some very difficult journeys. I am proud to have crossed paths with an attorney who practices law with the utmost integrity and compassion. I also referred a friend who Michael represented, guided, and helped to achieve an appropriate and better-than-expected outcome that brought 3 lives lasting safety & an end to the suffering and life-threatening dangers. Michael is an asset to our community because of his ‘person-first’ care. While many experience compounding heartache during the judicial process, Michael practices in a way that helps to provide hope and healing that lasts beyond representation. Thank you Michael.
