As the firm’s "go-to" guy for general litigation work, Michael is enthusiastic about getting results. Precise and assertive, his energetic approach to advocacy allows him to achieve his clients’ goals with panache. His legal background in strata, real-estate, and estate litigation has marked him as a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, and his knack for bringing people together shows him as a true "people person".

Michael loves a challenge, and one of his favourite pastimes is hiking big-time back country. To date, he has conquered Yosemite National Park and the West Coast Trail. He has even hiked across the Alaskan wilderness. He also keeps busy with his four children and lovely wife.

Michael has a JD from Oakbrook College of Law, Fresno, CA, and the NCA Qualification from the University of Victoria.
