We had the pleasure of dealing with Michael Mines recently and he is an amazing lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything very thoroughly and makes sure you understand everything. He answers all your questions patiently and never makes you feel like you are wasting his time, nor does he ever talk down to you.
