Michael D. McCullough II, also known as Mickey, is an attorney in Sommers Schwartz’s Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Litigation groups.

I get satisfaction in knowing that my work will help improve the medical field

I pride myself in thinking outside the box. I enjoy the challenge of finding new avenues to prosecute a claim and get justice for my clients. I have litigated cases through to trial and have been successful in obtaining settlements in highly disputed cases.

I am not all work all the time. I am a super fan of the Detroit Lions and have a Matthew Stafford bobble-head that gets moved around the office depending on the Lion's performance each week.
