He frequently serves as a Court-appointed referee on real estate matters. Prior to entering private practice, Mike represented the Realtor® organization to local, state and federal legislative bodies, and in that capacity, he has had a hand in the drafting of many major pieces of real estate-related legislation.Mike studied planning and economics at the University of Wisconsin and worked as a Planner and in the title insurance industry before becoming licensed to practice law.
