Michael Smikun
Micheal exposes liars and upholds the truth.
He was an indispensable leader in successfully obtaining a $33 million and a $27.6 million dollar jury verdicts, making Callagy Law one of only two law firms in the country to have two top 100 national jury verdicts in 3 years, including the largest jury verdict in the State of Arizona since 2016 and both with multiple millions of dollars in punitive damages.*
*Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.
He also successfully argued and won cases in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second, Third, Fifth, and Ninth Circuits; various state trial and appellate courts; the NJ Supreme Court; and has even been granted admission to the highest court in the United States, the Supreme Court. He has won cases valued in the hundreds of millions dollars for his clients.
Michael attacks every matter with immense caring, unstoppable urgency and ferocious aggression that inspires his team to do the same.
When not aggressively attacking cases or developing his team, you will often find Michael watching and quoting movies from the ‘90s, reading and reciting every piece of trivia he can find, and spending time with his daughter and trying to convince her that Star Wars is the greatest film in history.
