ABOUT MICHAEL
As a twice divorced father of two children, Michael knows how emotionally devastating a divorce or separation can be on the parents and especially the children. Therefore, his goal as a mediator is to minimize the impact a breakup has on a family by resolving disputes in a creative and amicable way in order to maintain the necessary post-separation relationship to the extent necessary to protect your finances as well as your children, if any.
Prior to graduating as valedictorian from law school, Michael had a career as a wealth manager and investment specialist with a nationally known brokerage firm. His extensive financial background serves his clients by allowing him to thoroughly analyze the financial impacts of all possible resolution scenarios.
Michael received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Central Florida in 1996. He received his Juris Doctor from Florida A&M University College of Law, graduating Magna Cum Laude. While in law school, Michael interned with the Administrative Judge for Orange County’s Domestic Relations division. His duties as an intern were to assist the judiciary with legal research, preparation of legal documents, and substantial observation in the domestic relations courts. This opportunity allowed Michael to learn how the judiciary operates and how they base their decisions that will impact families for years to come. Michael also participated in several workshops, conferences, and seminars focused on family law and dispute resolution.
