While Michael enjoys fighting for his clients and winning cases on the merits, his goal is always to reach a reasonable settlement to avoid the costs and risks of trial.  That is why he continues to pursue settlement right up until the eve of trial, and has even resolved cases on the courthouse steps. In the very rare instances where there is no satisfactory settlement to be had, Michael has the experience and know how to resolve the case with maximum efficiency through summary judgment motions, submission on the record, or at trial.

Michael is a self-described “law nerd” who truly enjoys the complexities and depth of the law on government contracts. He enjoys diving into the case law to find the right answer, the answer that helps his clients resolve their disputes in the most efficient manner possible. He also keeps a library with highlighted copies of every case he has read during his entire career. This allows Michael to both quickly access the relevant case law when an issue comes up, but also to maintain a breadth of knowledge on the subject of government contracts that is both wide and deep.

In his free time, Michael enjoys playing strategy games, reading science fiction, swimming, and spending time with his wife, kids, and dog.
