Wonderful atorney
Michael is an excellent attorney. He is kind, highly detailed, honest, and completely trustworthy. He successfully litigate an employment claim on my behalf and I can not say enough about how competently he handled my case.
Michael E. Aleo's Lawyer Endorsements
"Attorney Aleo was my supervising attorney when I interned at Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights in Boston. He is a great teacher, who not only taught me substantive issues within employment discrimination law, but also - and more importantly - showed me what it means to be an attorney who strives to bring the utmost respect and compassion when interacting with a client and working on that client's case."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"Attorney Aleo is a very thoughtful and conscientious attorney. I wholeheartedly recommend him in the area of litigation."
"Michael is conscientious and devoted to advocating for his clients."
"Michael was one of our first associates at our firm, in 2006-07, right after he graduated law school. He brought a lot of energy to our firm. He cared deeply for his clients and their cases. He is very bright, a strong writer and analyzed legal issues very well. I could not recommend him more highly."
