I'm a lawyer and I retained Michael to represent me in a grievance a client of mine filed against me. I have never been accused of doing anything unethical by a client so keeping my good name clean is the most important thing to me. Michael took my case and at first he encountered resistance from the State Bar who wanting me to be reprimanded, but Michael skillfully showed the State Bar over time that I was in the right and did nothing wrong. Michael represented me at the grievance hearing and not only convinced the State Bar prosecutor but also the committee hearing the grievance against me that I was 100% in the right. The committee agreed and dismissed the grievance against me. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I most definitely would.
