I believe my role as an attorney is to help my clients quickly, efficiently, and effectively resolve their disputes. As part of that, I am committed to keeping my clients informed, making sure they understand the process, the options available, and the potential risks and benefits of each option. Because most people are involved in very few lawsuits during their lifetime, I make sure each client is given the necessary guidance along the way.. I firmly believes in the value of resolving matters by agreement rather than through litigation. This allows the parties to craft more creative agreements, potentially maintain an amicable relationship even after the case is resolved, and typically costs far less than litigation. On the other hand, when necessary,I am fully prepared to advocate for my clients in court to protect their interests. I have experience handling family law cases, real estate matters, contract disputes, business and employment issues, and many others. For the past 10 years,  I have helped my clients reach successful resolution in these areas, through negotiation, litigation, and appellate work. I also act as a mediator to help parties reach an agreed resolution.

I've been helping people with their legal issues for more than 20 years.  In those 20+ years and hundreds and hundreds of cases, I've provided dedicated, compassionate, energetic and knowledgeable representation.  While I can't promise any one result, or even (in some cases) a successful outcome, I can promise you advocacy.. If you have a personal injury case (particulalarly a car accident case), please call or email me, and mention that you saw me on Avvo; and, if I take your case, I'll reduce the attorney contingency fee from the 33-45% typical progressive rate to a straight 25% fee (no progression /No kidding!)  However, this applies only to personal injury/auto accident cases where liability is not contested. (In contested cases, let's talk about what we can do).. If you have a business or general litigation matter that will be paying an hourly rate, call or email me and let's talk.  Mention you saw me on Avvo and I will provide a discount off my published rates.. And always, please don't be afraid to reach out to me (particularly via email) and I'll do my best to help point you in the right direction even if i can't take your case. -Noah

As a former Clark County deputy prosecuting attorney and in-house insurance defense attorney for a large international insurance company, litigation is my passion. That is why I have chosen personal injury as my primary practice area. Having worked these cases from the other side, I know how the insurance companies strategize their attacks. Of course, I believe an approrpiate, fair settlement should be the primary goal due to the emotional and financial costs of litigation. However, when the other side does not play fair, and frequently they do not, then my past experience is invaluable and I believe a strong, aggressive offense is necessary to represent my clients against these powerful entities.. My landlord-tenant practice is limited to landlords only. I do not represents tenants to avoid conflicts.

Mike is a tenacious trial lawyer who puts every ounce of effort and enthusiasm possible into his work.  His approach to each project is thorough, exhausting all possible angles to a problem.  His legal research on a number of cases - from procedural issues to medical malpractice - is a trusted tool in the office. Mike has a unique understanding of the dynamics and strategies involved in preparing personal injury and wrongful death cases for trial in such a way that defendants often settle. "I can't let these people down," Mike says.  "These people are hard-working, sincere in their efforts and have had the worst of all things happen to them because of physical injuries or death.  Even in the era of 'tort reform,' I refuse to apologize for representing these people.  It's a privilege.  All I try to do is bring them back to as nearly as whole as possible within the bounds of the law, so they can rebuild their shattered lives.  Perfect justice would require the undoing of the tragedy that has visited my clients.  We all know, however, that that cannot be done, which is why the law requires that full compensation be paid,"  Mike said.  "I think I'm lucky to be doing positive things for so many people."
