Brilliant Defense in Complex Litigation

I cannot recommend Michael B. Hess highly enough. After being named in a high-stakes commercial litigation case, I was overwhelmed until I retained Mr. Hess. His deep expertise in Commercial Litigation and Insurance Law was immediately apparent. He meticulously analyzed every aspect of the case, leveraging his recognition from Best Lawyers in these areas to craft a strategic defense. Michael’s ability to simplify complex legal concepts and communicate clearly was invaluable during negotiations. His professionalism and calm demeanor under pressure were reassuring, and his success in resolving the matter favorably exceeded all expectations. The outcome not only protected my interests but also demonstrated his mastery of Mass Tort and Product Liability Litigation. Akerman LLP is fortunate to have such a skilled and dedicated attorney. Anyone facing litigation needs Michael’s experience and expertise—he is truly exceptional.
