As a former prosecutor, Mike understands and has been on both sides of our adversarial legal system. Defending clients with this experience makes for the best representation. Before arriving in Fayetteville, NC, Mike‘s family traveled all over the world during his fathers military service. His father retired while stationed here at Fort Bragg. Mike attended both Pine Forest Middle and High Schools in Cumberland County. After graduating from The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Mike attended Law School at North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC. After graduation from Law School and completing the Bar Exam, Mike returned to Fayetteville to practice. Mike's family and friends all live here in Fayetteville, and he is proud to call it his home. Mike enjoys the work that he does and understand the needs of his clients. He understands that the legal system is complex and can be difficult to traverse. It can be a very intimidating and tasking process. Each day, Mike pursues his clients interests to aid folks in getting through tough situations and achieving the results that they want out of a case. Every case, no matter the subject matter, is as important to him as it is to his clients. It is important to understand the law as well the local legal landscape that you are involved in. Equipped with these attributes, Mike will go at it to get the results that his clients want! Mike has tried cases in both District and Superior Court spanning from simple misdemeanor charges to felony cases. He is an experienced DWI Attorney and has tried many cases as both a prosecutor and defense attorney.
