Michael Fate, has been our attorney for two decades. Martindale-Hubbell recently awarded him the distinguished, "Preeminent" designation for "Highest Level of Professional Excellence" and high ethical standing 2017. Their designation also aptly describes my experiences with Michael. He has successfully tackled for us, business litigation, contracts, contract management/negotiations, intellectual property concerns, business mentoring, startups, compliance, and growth strategies. Michael also has an amazing sense of humor. Which, is very helpful when it comes to tackling such serious matters as business law. He is very accountable, and the value he has brought to our business far exceeds his fees. Michael is a real treasure and an indispensable asset for any serious business venture. I am very grateful to have him on our team. Sincerely, D. S. Hargis, CEO, EXCEL-WEST.
