Michael is a litigator with extensive trial and appellate experience. His practice spans a wide range of litigation in federal and state courts, including business tort disputes, securities litigation, and patent litigation.

Michael has experience in all aspects of commercial litigation, including pretrial discovery and motion practice, trial, post-trial matters, and appeals. Michael also draws on his experience as a federal appellate clerk, having served as a law clerk to the Honorable Amy J. St. Eve of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
