Mike also has a breadth of experience in commercial and residential landlord/tenant issues, representing numerous residential landlords and providing expertise in commercial leases. He has represented construction companies, builders, and consumers on home improvement and repair matters.. While Mike’s skills span multiple areas of practice, he is committed to ensuring that every client finds the help they need, even if that means providing a referral to another qualified attorney or advisor. Known as an “attorney who cares,” Mike’s commitment to his clients and his community is evident in his approach to law and service.
