 
          Mike is a native of Bartley, West Virginia, a rural, blue-collar community in Southern West Virginia. His working-class upbringing in a family of coal miners, construction workers, and service-industry workers taught him the importance of hard work and dedication. It also taught him that individuals, consumers, and employees are not always afforded a fair shake. With these lessons in mind, Mike takes pride in aggressively, effectively, and zealously representing his clients to vindicate their rights against more powerful, sophisticated corporations.
