About Michael
Michael primarily represents insurers in claims made and suits brought against them in coverage and extra-contractual liability matters. He is often called upon to provide pre-suit coverage analysis and opinions, as well as to conduct examinations under oath, file DEC actions and provide assistance to insurance carriers who are required to respond to Civil Remedy Notices of Insurer Violations.
In addition, Michael's practice focuses on general insurance defense, including construction defect, wrongful death, products liability, premises liability, employment discrimination, professional liability, subrogation, insurance coverage, bad faith and civil litigation. Michael has participated in a number of jury trials through verdict in State and Federal court, all of which resulted in either a defense verdict or a verdict which was less than the amount demanded. As well, Michael has substantial experience in alternative dispute resolution, having represented clients in a number of mediation and arbitration proceedings. Michael routinely advises clients on the evaluation and resolution of multi-claimant matters.
In 1994 Michael earned his B.A. from the State University of New York at Albany. Subsequently, Michael obtained his J.D. in 1997 from the University of Miami School of Law, Coral Gables, Florida, where he graduated cum laude.
Michael has presented a number of seminars on auto negligence, uninsured motorist and bad faith claims. In addition, he has lectured on defending first party property damage claims including sinkhole and mold claims, which included review and analysis of claims handling procedures, as well as recommendations for the same.
