Biography
Michael joined Gardner Law in June 2026 after working two years in San Antonio at a boutique estate planning and probate firm. Michael is passionate about sharing as much information as possible with clients about asset protection, as well as lifetime and legacy planning. Michael enjoys finding the clarity in what can be complex and confusing legal considerations in the planning phase but also in resolving ownership issues after a loved one’s death.
Before moving to San Antonio, most of Michael’s career focused on international relations. He held assignments in Geneva, Switzerland, and more recently as a consular officer in Mexico. He speaks Spanish fluently and is working to improve his French. He brings diplomatic skills to estate planning and probate matters and will be the first to say that there is more diplomacy in probate than in international relations.
