We emphasize helping you and your family move on peacefully and with dignity.Michael is known for his calm, nonjudgmental demeanor and thoughtful approach. He is soft-spoken, well-reasoned, and articulate. Most of his clients are going through acute trauma, and for that reason, Michael believes in listening first. He focuses on understanding what his client is going through before proposing potential solutions or approaches. He wants his clients to leave his office with a sense of peace, saving as much money as possible for their families rather than spending it on litigation. Though Michael believes that a settlement between the parties is often the best-case scenario, Michael also thrives in the courtroom. He is a very accomplished litigator and courtroom advocate. Michael has tried Family Law cases all over Texas and practices exclusively Family Law.Michael practices all areas of family law, but a considerable amount of his practice is dedicated to protecting the LGBTQ+ community.
