Bio (continued)
In addition to all the work Mike does representing his own clients, Mike enjoys supporting lawyers in other firms by co-venturing cases where there is a need for extra resources and special litigation experience. Solo practitioners and lawyers in other small firms have told us they would not have been able to accept some of their cases without being able to bring us on board. It is a great way for our firm to help other lawyers.
