About Michael A.
Michael A. Gould moved from the study of life under a microscope to the practice of law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in 1987 from the University of Manitoba, majoring in zoology and microbiology. Three years later he completed his Juris Doctor at Western State University School of Law in 1990. The two degrees set the tone for a career that often requires translating technical detail into legal terms.
After law school Mr. Gould began his work in the legal profession during a period of change in both science and regulation. He spent the early years learning to apply legal principles to real-world problems. That formative time taught him how to sift complex records and explain findings to judges, juries, and nontechnical clients. He built a practice that values clarity and practical solutions rather than legal theory for its own sake.
Over the decades he has handled matters where evidence and procedure intersect. He is known for methodical case preparation. He approaches litigation and counsel work the way a scientist approaches an experiment: gather the facts, test assumptions, and present results plainly. Court filings and client memoranda reflect that same preference for straightforward, well-organized argument.
His undergraduate background in zoology and microbiology informs how he evaluates technical material. Scientific training helps when he assesses expert reports, reviews laboratory data, or prepares witnesses. He has been called on to break down technical testimony for audiences unfamiliar with the subject. That ability is useful in administrative hearings and civil disputes where scientific issues are part of the record.
Today Mr. Gould maintains an active legal practice. He continues to represent clients whose matters include technical or scientific elements and works to make complex information accessible in legal settings. He currently concentrates on matters where scientific and legal issues intersect.
