Prior to joining Ellis Porter, Mike practiced as an immigration attorney in the public and private sectors, representing a variety of clients before the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, and Department of Justice.

Of Polish and Mexican heritage, Mike grew up along the U.S.-Mexico border and saw the difficulties faced by immigrant communities. Those experiences prompted him to pursue immigration law.
