Lawyer Overview

A philosopher at heart, Michael has a passion for the just, logical and orderly processes governing litigation in our country, and works hard to see that his clients' interests are represented fairly and completely.  His love of philosophy has inspired in him a profound love for the writings of the founding fathers, and the constitution.

Michael takes pride in his logical, organized and thorough approach to the legal representation of his clients. He is hard working and calm, able to keep a clear head in even the most emotionally charged situations. He loves to learn new things about the law and has a talent for finding creative solutions to his clients' legal problems.

Michael is first and foremost a husband to his beautiful wife, and a father to their two boys.  He also enjoys reading, cooking, and following the ironies of politics. Besides his early childhood in Florida, and a couple of years in Hong Kong serving a mission for the LDS Church, Michael has lived most of his life in Utah and is proud to call this state his home.
