Michael resides in Saint Paul with his wife and two children. Outside the office, he enjoys reading, hiking, cooking, soccer, basketball, and family time.
Known for his thorough preparation, strategic thinking, and unwavering dedication, Michael works tirelessly to ensure his clients are treated fairly and achieve meaningful outcomes.
