I have served as counsel to Michael personally and to several successful public and private companies in which he has engaged in business transactions as an investor and, in some circumstances, equity owner. As a result we have a well founded opinion of his business and personal character.

In our unqualified opinion, Mr. Quiel is a responsible, principled, law abiding business person of uncompromising ethical standards. His moral compass, with respect to business and personal matters, in our opinion, is pointed in the proper direction.

I have observed Michael Quiel as an honorable family man and have personal knowledge of his standing among his many business friends and business associates. He enjoys a superb reputation in the community generally and friends and associates in particular.
