Michael has been practicing law since 1999, when he began his career in the area of complex civil litigation. In 2001, he was hired by Alston & Bird LLP, where he worked in both the Atlanta and New York offices in the areas of public and private securities transactions, mergers and acquisitions and general corporate law. In 2003, Michael founded Older, Lundy, Alvarez, Koch & Martino with Ben Older and the firm has seen extraordinary growth ever since. Currently, Michael practices almost exclusively in the area of Marital and Family Law.
Michael’s clients find that he demonstrates a great balance of aggressive representation and common sense, and that he is family-oriented, personable and almost always available to provide sound advice and counsel, even after regular business hours and on the weekends. Several of the firm’s clients have commented on his availability, work ethic and compassion, which perhaps is why so many of the firm’s clients refer their friends and family members to him. He has a strong belief that most cases, especially those concerning children, are best resolved by families, instead of by courts. He also believes that every case is unique and requires a delicate balance between understanding the client’s personal needs and life circumstances on the one hand and exercising keen litigation judgment on the other. While he endeavors to find an amicable resolution to every case, when those situations arise that require court intervention, Michael also is a fierce trial lawyer.
Michael’s background and experience have given him a unique skill set in addressing cases with complex financial, forensic accounting and business valuation issues.
