He is an experienced trial and appellate attorney, litigating cases in the areas of professional liability, criminal conduct, serious personal injury, business disputes, estate disputes, and employment.

He was promoted to the Special Prosecutions Section where he was responsible for the investigation and prosecution of racketeering, international fraud, and terrorism. From 1972 to 1980, he was a high school English teacher and swimming coach in Montgomery County, Maryland.

In 2005, Michael was selected to the Panel of Counsel for the Fraternal Order of Police Legal Plan. Through that plan and otherwise, Michael represents local and federal law enforcement officers in defense of employment actions, civil lawsuits, and criminal investigations.
