Prior to joining BoatU.S. in early 2012, Michael spent nearly 13 years in private practice as a trial attorney litigating jury and non-jury cases in federal and state courts throughout D.C., Maryland and Virginia. His practice involved all aspects of civil litigation and insurance matters with a concentration on the defense of legal professionals in complex malpractice matters. As an avid boater spending many weekends on the Chesapeake Bay, Michael feels fortunate to be able to combine his legal education and experience with his love for the water in his current practice of admiralty and maritime law. |
