I just learned of Mike's passing. I have known Mike since I moved to Charlotte in 1994. Our paths crossed frequently working in the same building and later at the court house. Mike and I had cases together and I knew him as an exceptional, well respected lawyer who was always a man of his word. The Charlotte legal community has a void with his passing. He will be missed and his family should know he was highly respected by both lawyers and judges. My sincere condolences to his wife, sons, and entire family.

I was saddened to hear of Mikes passing today. We worked several files together before I retired. I considered Mike a friend, a man of integrity, and an excellent lawyer. I will keep his family in my prayers.
