Attorney Information
Overview
Since joining GGL in 2018, Mike has recovered in excess of $80,000,000 in New Jersey workers’ compensation cases alone.
One-hundred percent of Mike’s practice focuses upon the representation of seriously injured persons. Mike has appeared in every workers’ compensation court in the State of New Jersey; and has substantial experience obtaining favorable settlements on behalf of those deprived by insurance companies.
Mike approaches each case as if it were to proceed to trial. In this fashion, he can maximize the recovery for each of his clients. Mike routinely handles claims arising from specific accidents, occupational exposure, and exposure to toxic chemicals. Mike — whose father was a card-carrying union member — has become a go-to attorney for members of both private and public-sector unions.
Moreover, Mike frequently lectures and moderates continuing education courses in the area of workers’ compensation. In fact, he has spent nearly 100 hours educating other attorneys on the practice since 2023; and has authored a myriad of legal publications on workers’ compensation, personal injury, and employment law.
In addition to workers’ compensation claims, Mike forcefully litigates a myriad of personal injury claims. Mike has substantial experience in automobile, UIM/UM, tractor trailer, ridesharing, medical malpractice, and product liability cases. To that end, Mike has tried a slew of jury trials to verdict with an overwhelming success rate for his clients.
Prior to joining Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, Mike managed the New Jersey and New York workers’ compensation departments of a nationally renowned 2,000-attorney firm. Additionally, Mike served as an in-house trial attorney for New Jersey’s largest auto insurer.
