He has more than 20 years of extensive trial experience defending individuals charged with misdemeanors and felonies and also represents plaintiffs in personal injury cases. Michael is admitted to practice in the State of New York, the U.S. District Court for the Northern and Southern Districts of New York, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He is a graduate of Siena College and earned his law degree from Touro Law School.
