As an Associate Attorney, Michael excels in devising winning arguments and case strategies for clients involved in business and commercial disputes on both sides of the ‘v.‘ Prior to working at Weinber Gonser, he worked as a judicial law clerk, first for the Los Angeles Superior Court and then for the Honorable Otis D. Wright II, District Judge in the District Court for the Central District of California. Working in the supporting role for multiple judges fostered Michael’s ability to analyze cases from a judicial standpoint, a perspective that is instrumental in obtaining positive results for the Firm’s clients.
