HONOLULU, Hawaii - January 16, 2018 - (Newswire.com)
Michael R. Cruise, Attorney at Law, Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner, has joined The Expert Network, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. Cruise has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.
Mr. Cruise outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. He earned his B.A. in English from Davidson College and his J.D. from University of Oregon School of Law in 1999. Mr. Cruse is a Lifetime Member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and holds an "Excellent" Avvo rating, among many other honors.
With nearly 20 years of experience dedicated to law, Mr. Cruise brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and, in particular, to his area of specialization, helping traumatic brain injury victims and their families pursue the compensation they need to ensure the long-term care of their loved ones. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Cruise said:
"I decided to go into law because I felt it would offer me an opportunity to help people. My parents showed me by example that being of service to your community is just what you do. You help people who need it. The people I knew growing up needed lawyers to solve real problems and meet basic needs in their lives—things like physical safety, safe housing, health care. That is the kind of lawyer I wanted to be, and is why I do the work I do today."
As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Cruise has a unique perspective on the legal industry. In particular, he notes the importance of protecting people's right to a trial:
"Special corporate interests are constantly at work to try to limit the rights of individual people to go to court to protect their rights and obtain justice from a jury of their peers. With the huge influence of money and lobbying in politics, the courthouse is the only place left where 'the little guy' has a level playing field to seek justice in the law against the most powerful adversary. As a lawyer who represents only people, I think it is important to be involved with the organizations that work to protect the rights of individuals to have access to the courts, and oppose the special interests who are working to close the courthouse doors."
Mr. Cruise is an Elite Lawyers of America member and a proud member of the American Association for Justice's Board of Governers, a past and current Board of Governors member of the Hawaii Association for Justice, and a member of the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii's Board of Directors, among many others.
