Michael Halla | Co-Chair, Litigation Group [Dallas Office]
Michael works as a skilled negotiator to identify settlement options and secure agreements that can avoid the necessity of litigation. He understands his clients work hard to accumulate their wealth and he uses his unique style of negotiation to protect those clients and their assets. There are, however, times when litigation is necessary. Few law firms are willing to take cases to trial. At those times, Michael believes the only place to measure success is in the courtroom. In these cases, he views settlement as an option only for the opposition. mhalla@vestedlaw.com |See Michael’s full biography here.
