Testimonials

" ***** (Thumbtack.com) As a team of young producers, Michael was invaluable in the process of getting our first show up in New York. Not only did he provide exceptional legal counsel, he also was happy to help brainstorm and share advice based on his years of experience. We were blown away with Michael's ability to seemingly always be available, and lighting fast response time to emails. Above everything else, Michael seemed to truly care about us and our work. He went above and beyond, and we were so lucky to have him!" - Jack E. (client)

" ***** (Five Stars at Avvo.com) Highly recommended! Michael not only represented me as a client, he stood by me and supported me as a friend. He consistently demonstrated that, as a lawyer he was honest, respectful, and held personal integrity above all else. His individual attention exceeded any expectations I had. He spent a great deal of his personal time ensuring I was comfortable with all proceedings, as well as keeping me informed of the progression throughout my case. He made himself available at all hours of the day. He took every action possible to ensure that my case was treated fairly from the beginning to the end. I cannot truly express in words how grateful I am for Michael’s support. I highly recommend Michael as a lawyer you can trust, and as a person whom believes in the law and does everything in his power to support his clients." - Julie M. (client)

" ***** (Five Stars at Avvo.com) Not Your Typical Lawyer...In A Good Way: I am so lucky to have found Michael. First and foremost, he is honest, kind, not looking to rob a new start up for every dime they have, very smart and well informed. His artistic background is an amazing asset for any client in an art or design field. He just gets it. He went above and beyond sending me relevant articles to what I was dealing with and he completed the work quickly but, thoroughly. He is really looking out for his client's best interest in a genuine way. What a breath of fresh lawyer air!" - D.W. (client)

" ***** (Five Stars at Avvo.com) Thoroughly helped a clueless but passionate new entrepreneur! I wanted to start an LLC because I was shooting my first short film. I was clueless and scared, but I was passionate and ready. Michael listened to my many, many questions and answered every single one. If he didn't know the answer immediately, he found out. He never treated me like I was ignorant, but was patient and helpful. Two weeks ago we finished production on the film. It's a dream come true for me, and one that would not have been accomplished as easily without him." - Jean Ann G. (client)

"Michael is one of those rare breeds you don't come across too often in a lifetime. An individual with brains, a sincere heart, great ideas AND the energy, enthusiasm and motivation to turn those ideas into reality. You would think someone like this would be arrogant, but, on the contrary, Michael (though undoubtedly assertive) is uncommonly kind, thoughtful of his peers, and considerate - a gentle soul and a gentleman. I recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservation!" - Diane Cooper, Esq. (colleague)
