Mike has been representing people in their fight against insurance companies for well over 15 years. Many clients have been injured workers, fighting to get medical treatment after losing their income. Other clients were enjoying a normal day when - in the blink of an eye - their lives changed forever.

Mike joined the firm in May 2017, prepared to help injured victims in their fight against insurance companies. He grew up in Delaware, went to school in Oklahoma, and practiced in the Charlotte area for nearly twelve years. Since moving to Asheville, he has spent his free time exploring mountain towns and hiking trails.
