Education and Early Career
Mickey's educational background is as impressive as his legal career.

His career is decorated with notable achievements, including:
- Negotiating settlements ranging from modest amounts to six-figure sums in personal injury cases.
- Securing dismissals in both State and Federal Courts.
- Achieving not-guilty verdicts in jury trials.
No matter the size of your case or the severity of your charges, Mickey is committed to fighting vigorously on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.
Beyond the Courtroom
