Michael Patrick Dansack Jr.
“I practice law to help people and to solve problems. It really is an extension of my public service as a city councilman and a Mayor. I was influenced by the times I grew up in. After witnessing the Vietnam War, the corruption of Watergate, and the turbulent 70′s, I chose to become a lawyer because I believed that regular people needed someone on their side. My lifelong commitment to helping people has continued at Gallon, Takacs, Boissoneault & Schaffer.”
Mike began his career at GTB&S in 1993 and has created a strong track record of protecting his clients’ rights in issues such as bankruptcy, probate and estate planning, and general practice. Besides his commitment to his clients, he has served on many community boards and as Mayor and City Council person in Oregon, Ohio.
