"The resilience and strength of my clients, who have overcome insurmountable obstacles in their search for justice, continues to inspire me."

Michael assisted in the landmark historical sexual abuse case MC v Morris, in which the plaintiff was awarded a record $3.5 million dollars in compensation. In addition to his knowledge of abuse law, Michael has practiced across personal injury and commercial litigation.  

Michael holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and graduated with a Juris Doctorate from the University of Sydney in 2016. He was admitted to the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the High Court of Australia as a lawyer the following year. He has appeared before all levels of court in New South Wales.

“The highlight of my role is advising clients throughout the process of their claim and seeing their satisfaction when they receive a favourable outcome knowing they can finally move on.”
