Michael’s Venice story
A connection that began long before the office.
Originally from New Jersey, Michael spent childhood summers visiting his grandmother in Venice Beach. On longer visits, he worked at his grandfather’s business, Marina Vacuum & Appliance, and grew to appreciate the neighborhood’s people, energy, and culture.
After years working in New York and New Jersey, he made Venice his home and opened his Main Street law office in 2016.
Today, he serves on the Venice Chamber of Commerce board and chairs the Venice Sign Committee. Wallerstein Law is licensed to use the Venice Sign on its website and in advertising.
