After graduating from law school in 1995, Michael began his legal career working with a Houston law office that specialized in personal injury and real estate law. Michael wanted more immediate experience in litigation. It was with this desire that he went to work for the Galveston County District Attorney's office in 1996. As an Assistant District Attorney under Michael J. Guarino, Michael started out in the Misdemeanor Section and worked his way up to the Felony Section.

As a Chief Prosecutor, Michael has litigated numerous jury trials to the final verdict. During his nine years of service, he has litigated everything from Driving While Intoxicated cases to Possession and Delivery cases to Capital Murder.

Michael was one of a select group of prosecutors selected by the Texas District and County Attorney's Association as an instructor and traveled across Texas teaching prosecutors on various aspects of Jury Trial Advocacy and Jury Trial Skills.
