I engaged Michael Knight of Barnes & Thornburg to represent my company in a contentious land use dispute with a neighboring developer. His deep, 26-year background in real property rights and construction litigation was immediately evident. He provided a clear, strategic roadmap that balanced aggressive advocacy with practical business sense, and his recognition in construction litigation is well-deserved. Michael’s command of the legal nuances and his experience from Valparaiso University onward gave us great confidence. The outcome was favorable and preserved our project's viability. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, response times could occasionally lag a day. Overall, he is a formidable and highly competent attorney for complex civil matters in the South Bend area.
