Work With Your Attorney From Home — Nevada County
You were just in an accident.
The last thing you need is a long drive to a lawyer's office.
An internet connection is all you need to work with a serious personal injury attorney.
You're hurt. Maybe you have a concussion and can't drive. Maybe you're in Penn Valley or Truckee and Nevada City feels far when you're in pain. Maybe you have kids, a job, and no time to sit in a waiting room.
"You shouldn't have to choose between getting the best legal representation and the convenience your situation demands."
I built my practice around that reality. From your first consultation to your final settlement, you never have to leave your home if you don't want to. Everything — meetings, document signing, case updates, direct attorney communication — happens on your schedule, through secure technology that's simple to use.
This isn't a compromise. The quality of your representation doesn't change because we meet on Zoom instead of in person. You still get me, personally, on every call. You still get a trial-ready attorney who prepares every case from day one. You still get direct cell access for urgent matters.
What you don't get is the inconvenience — and when you're recovering from an injury, that matters.
How working with Michael actually works
Simple, secure, and built around your schedule — not ours.
Free consultation — your way
Your first conversation with me can happen by phone, video, or in person at my Nevada City office. You choose what's comfortable. No waiting room, no pressure, no obligation.
Video meetings that actually work
Zoom or phone — whatever you're comfortable with. I walk every client through it if needed. If you've ever made a FaceTime call, you can meet with your attorney from your couch.
Always know where your case stands
You'll have secure 24/7 access to your file. No need to call to find out what's happening. Check at midnight if that's when the anxiety hits. Your case, your access, any time.
Direct attorney communication
When you message me, I respond — not a case manager, not an assistant. You hired me, you get me. I return calls within one business day and give every client my direct cell for urgent matters.
Sign documents electronically
Retainer agreements, authorizations, settlement documents — everything can be signed securely from your phone or computer. No printer required, no trip to the office.
Schedule on your terms
Book a meeting at midnight if that's when it works. No phone tag, no waiting for a callback to find a time. Or just call — I'm here for that too.
This is especially important if you are...
Remote access isn't just convenient — for some clients it's essential.
Dealing with a concussion or TBI
Driving while cognitively impaired or light-sensitive is dangerous. You shouldn't have to do it to get legal help.
In chronic pain or on medication
Some medications impair driving. Chronic pain makes long car trips genuinely difficult. Work from your couch.
Located in Truckee or the mountains
Nevada City isn't close when roads are icy or you're injured. Distance is no longer a barrier to quality representation.
Managing a busy family or work schedule
A 9am appointment in Nevada City means taking half a day off. A 7am Zoom call means you're done before the kids wake up.
Anxious about the legal process
For some people, meeting from home feels less intimidating. That's completely valid — and we're set up for it.

Michael is licensed throughout California and Washington. Distance has never been a reason to settle for less than the right attorney.
