Michael is admitted to practice law in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and has litigated matters in both state and federal court. He received his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Wisconsin Law School. While in law school, he interned in the Civil Litigation Unit of the Wisconsin Department of Justice, handling prisoner civil rights matters.
