Michael guided us through complicated negotiations with the POLIN Museum in Warsaw, Poland.  He created construction and intellectual property contracts, enabling our non-profit to recreate a 17th-century synagogue roof and elaborately painted ceiling that ultimately became the museum’s centerpiece.    — Rick Brown, Handshouse Studio
