Biography

With over 15 years of experience, Michael “Mike” Pallai is a skilled advocate for those who are navigating some of life’s most challenging circumstances. Equally comfortable behind his desk or in front of a judge, Mr. Pallai’s practice is broad and varied, but he has developed a particular specialization in the areas of workers’ compensation, personal injury, family law and criminal defense.

With years of hands-on experience both in and out of the courtroom, Mr. Pallai takes a practical, down-to-earth approach to every case and clients appreciate his candor.
