He handles literally hundreds of cases each year involving repetitive factory type injuries such as carpal tunnel and rotator cuff tears. He also has seven years experience representing construction workers, teachers, and health care workers in serious accidents. He also has vast experience representing clients in Social Security claims including claims under Title II (SSD) and (SSI). Many people who have serious compensation injuries or older workers who are not terribly injured but who find it difficult to get retrained with a disability often have a Social Security claim as well.

Today, Mike�s office is conveniently located across from the Social Security Administration. By having a lawyer that handles both your Social Security case and your Workers� Compensation, you can be assured both cases are being coordinated. Lastly, he also has vast experience in the area of Personal Injury. Mike began his career handling nothing but serious personal injury cases, many of which were work related �third party� cases. He was involved in several million dollar settlements and verdicts.
