“I practice law because giving a voice to those who otherwise would not be heard ensures the continued existence of a responsible democracy, where laws, not wealth or socioeconomic status, provide as equal a playing field as may be had,“ Mike says. “I’m happy to be at Baron & Budd because this law firm demonstrates, on a daily basis and at a national level, its continued commitment to fight corporate greed and wrongdoing at the expense of less fortunate citizens.”
