Michael is a born litigator.
As a solicitor, he worked in small to large firms where he acquired extensive experience representing clients in all manner of disputes and in all courts.
When he became a barrister, he regularly appeared for clients in civil and criminal cases in the Supreme Court, Federal Court and District Court, notably for South Sydney Rabbitohs in their battle to be readmitted to the NRL Competition after being excluded from it in 1999.
Whatever kind of dispute you find yourself in, whether you want to sue someone, defend a civil claim or defend a criminal charge, by engaging Michael, you obtain access to his experience and his total commitment to your matter.
Michael also happens to be a whizz at drafting wills, advising on estate matters, family law and advising on commercial matters.
