About Michael

Reliable representation in critical matters that affect the wealth and wellbeing of clients. As an attorney, that is what I provide. My varied background in psychology, litigation, bankruptcy, probate, real estate, debt collection, public defense, loan review, and business transactions allows me to provide the highest quality service to my clients. I understand that the necessity of an attorney can be anxiety inducing and it is my goal to alleviate any worry while also providing superior representation.

After graduating from law school and passing the Massachusetts bar, I started on my legal journey at a small general practice firm in downtown Boston. While my horrendous boss made it  a rocky start to my career, it afforded me the experience needed to be able to tackle anything that came my way. Growing out of my role in a four-person shop, I moved on to high-volume work, drafting dozens of court documents a day. Between the small-batch boutique law and the high-volume litigation, by the time I found myself at Holmquist and Gardiner I was fully prepared for the transactions world. I have come to love advising clients on leases, purchase and sale agreements, loans, boundary line disputes, and anything else they throw at me. After two years at H+G, my skills and knowledge have been honed and I am able to assist my clients in increasingly complex matters.

As a South Florida native and eight-year resident of Boston, Massachusetts, I have enjoyed my transition to settling down in Seattle, my wife’s home town. While not zealously advocating for my clients, I can often be found hiking with my wife and dog, in local markets, exploring new interests, or at home practicing piano or creative writing.
