Misha has extensive experience litigating high-stakes appeals before the United States Supreme Court, Federal Courts of Appeal and State Supreme Courts.
Misha leads the firm's national appellate and Supreme Court practice. He is an experienced, nationally-renowned appellate advocate, having successfully led several of the most high-profile appeals in the country in recent years. He argued and prevailed before the United States Supreme Court in Gill v. Whitford, one of the most significant redistricting cases in decades. He also argued and prevailed before the United States Supreme Court in Murr v. Wisconsin, a high-stakes regulatory takings case.
Misha has been one of the leaders in high-profile challenges to environmental regulations.
