After graduating from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Spanish, Michael earned his Juris Doctor from Southern Illinois University School of Law, where he specialized in Business and Transactional Law. During law school, Michael worked on legal matters in the Civil Practice Clinic as a 7-11 licensed student attorney, assisting with estate and divorce cases.
