In addition to his working with families, friends and other professionals confronted with issues of substance abuse, he represents clients in Federal and State courts.

Mick wrote the book Beginning of a Miracle: How to Intervene with the Addicted or Alcoholic Person. This book has been described as one of the best books ever written on the subject Intervention. Mick teaches the reader how to develop strategies to overcome the denial present in anyone who suffers from chemical dependence.

Participants in his programs include Attorneys in MCLE programs, members of Physician Well-Being Committees, Physicians, Therapists, Educators and business leaders.
