As someone who enjoys interacting with people, Michael became interested in family law because he enjoys interacting with people on a personal and human level. “I enjoy connecting with people on a personal level, and practicing family law allows me to help clients navigate through what is oftentimes the most stressful and difficult of situations. Being a family law attorney also gives me the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of my clients and their families.”
When he isn’t counseling clients or litigating in the family courts, Michael enjoys golfing, skiing and spending time with his family and friends.
