In 2006, Michael was in Iraq, defending a soldier from the 101st Airborne. His client was accused of triple murder during the hunt for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. He was working alongside attorney Paul Bergrin, a celebrity lawyer out of New York. He defended another soldier. Colonel Michael Steele, the commander from Black Hawk Down, allegedly gave his men an order to "kill all military-age males on the objective." The case pitted many low-level soldiers against the Army and the Pentagon, who were desperate to win the case and protect America's image and a few high-ranking officers. As Bergrin and Michael dug deeper, they unraveled a deep-rooted conspiracy. There are too many details to explain here.

A few weeks later, Michael was preparing to go to trial when a producer from Nightline called him. She told him Bergrin was on the steps of the Manhattan courthouse giving a press conference. He had been indicted for running a high-profile escort business out of his law firm. The madame was his "paralegal." The escorts catered to celebrities, politicians, and the ultra-rich. As a result, Bergrin turned his client against the other soldiers to deal with his case. When Michael called him, he swore, "He would never do a day in jail." He was right. He never went to jail for the prostitution business, for various reasons, although he was convicted. Bergrin then went on to practice law in New Jersey. Later, the FBI indicted him for murdering witnesses, and he ended up getting convicted and getting life in prison. Meanwhile, Michael's client did a few years and is now a free man.

For nearly 20 years, Michael has traveled the world defending American service members accused of serious crimes. From secret prison torture allegations, to Navy SEALS accused of rape, he has been involved in some of the most high profile and insane criminal cases involving the US military. Most of these have never hit the media.
