Biography
Michael is a Seattle-based attorney focusing on insurance coverage analysis including defense, indemnity and settlement provisions of third-party liability policies; first-party coverage scope and application of exclusions to reasonably investigated facts; as well as the defense of alleged bad faith, in Washington and elsewhere around the country. Michael has developed his defense-focused litigation practice for nearly three decades, with specialized expertise in complex insurance coverage analysis for over twenty-three years. He received his B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1990, and a J.D. from Boston University School of Law in 1993.
Using pro-active consultation and problem-solving, Michael and his law firm help their clients to advance, and when necessary to successfully litigate, their positions on high-stakes and/or uncertain coverage-claim risks.
