Profile

Mike’s practice focuses on transactional law, including real estate, corporate law, estate planning, and agricultural law. Since the beginning of his legal career, he has been passionate about helping individuals, families, and business owners navigate important legal decisions with confidence. During law school, he worked closely with entrepreneurs, an experience that sparked his interest in advising business owners and helping them turn their ideas into successful ventures.

Today, Mike considers it a privilege to serve as a trusted legal advisor to his clients. Whether assisting with business formation and operations, real estate transactions, estate planning, or agricultural matters, he takes pride in providing practical guidance tailored to each client’s unique goals. He understands that behind every legal matter is a person, family, or business working toward a better future, and he is committed to helping them achieve long-term success.

Mike is guided by the belief that “a rising tide lifts all ships.” He believes that when individuals, businesses, and communities support one another, everyone benefits. This philosophy extends beyond his legal practice and into his community involvement; he is active in several nonprofit organizations and is passionate about giving back through service and leadership. Outside of the office, Mike’s favorite moments are those spent with his wife and three children. Whether they are traveling, cheering on the Badgers, enjoying the outdoors, or even just supporting his kids from the sidelines at their various sporting events, Mike values these shared experiences that keep him balanced between both his personal and professional life.
