Michael Boehringer
Michael Boehringer is an award-winning litigator based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Much of his career has focused on high-stakes employment, business, and intellectual property disputes. His resume includes battling industry giants, with names like Apple, McDonald's, Denny's, Wyndham, Allegiant, Fume, and Properties of the Villages topping the list.
After years working alongside Jonathan Pollard, a highly regarded and nationally recognized employment and competition lawyer, Michael was ready to move on to the next chapter of his career. With the vision of how he always believed law should be practiced—where clients come before all—in 2025, Michael opened Boehringer Law. Michael manages the firm with one vision in mind—helping people solve complex problems.
Life can be extraordinarily challenging at times, and when people have legal issues, it often adds to any already overwhelmed plate. Rather than a number, Michael views clients as family. Yes, lawsuits, deadlines, and administrative tasks are important, but at the end of the day, people are what really matter.
