Our Story
Michael founded HLG in 2019 with a simple conviction: the practice of law could be done better. Having seen firsthand how traditional firms often prioritize billable hours over client outcomes, he set out to build something different: a modern law firm that takes the time to truly understand each client’s business and aligns legal strategy with real-world goals.
His practice focuses on complex business transactions and commercial disputes; handling matters from initial structuring and drafting through litigation and trial. Though a litigator by birth according to his family, Michael has built his approach around mastering both litigation and transactional work. He believes the best results come when attorneys can think from both perspectives—anticipating disputes while structuring deals to avoid them.
Over the past decade, Michael has advised clients across a broad range of matters, including contract negotiations, corporate transactions, banking and financial issues, intellectual property, construction, employment, cryptocurrency, oil and gas, and cybersecurity. Known for his practical, business-minded approach, he becomes a trusted partner to his clients—often the first call when something goes wrong, or when they want to make sure it doesn’t.
Because of their approach and tireless attention to detail and communication, Michael and the team at HLG have been consistently recognized in local, state, national, and international publications for their top-tier legal services:
