Michael's Background

Michael Apicella brings a unique perspective to his practice, having worked in various fields before becoming a lawyer. His business background allows him to understand the financial aspects of a case with great depth, while his litigation experience has given him a strong understanding of the legal system. However, it is his passion for helping individuals and his commitment to resolving cases efficiently that sets him apart. Michael believes that mediation is the most civilized and cost-effective way for people to resolve their issues, and he has successfully mediated hundreds of cases without any party having to enter a courtroom.

Why Mediation?

Mediation is often the best way to manage divorce, especially cases involving children. It allows you to maintain control over the process, make decisions jointly with your spouse, and avoid the stress and heartache associated with litigation. Mediation is also confidential, saving you from the risk of intimate details becoming public record. Perhaps most importantly, it can save you thousands in legal fees and significantly reduce the time it takes to complete your case.
