Outstanding Lawyer and Trusted Advisor

Mike Furlong is an outstanding lawyer. I have used him on several occasions to negotiate settlements with service providers. He also has helped my wife and I create our estate plan including trusts and healthcare proxy. I have also referred Mike to friends and colleagues who have all been delighted w...ith his expertise and services. Mike is the ultimate trusted advisor.

Straight Forward Advice on Estate Planning and Asset Protection

Mike helped my wife and I with our estate planning and asset protection needs. He provides straight forward and practical advice, using simple language and making sure all questions are thoroughly answered. He is extremely knowledgeable on the topic of estate planning. I would definitely recommend Mi...ke Furlong to family and friends.

Posted by David | December 16, 2014 | Estate Planning

Well versed and persistent.

I have worked with Michael Furlong for many years on a variety of issues from pursuing clients who were not paying their bills to estate planning. In the courtroom Michael is adroit and intuitive. He comes into court extremely well prepared. His preparation coupled with his courtroom presence has r...esulted in him getting a favorable outcome in every case I have asked him to work on. On the Estate Planning front Michael collaborates well with the other professionals I have brought into the discussion. He keeps himself well educated on the latest aspects of the relevant law/code. I have confidence in what he produces for our family. Michael shows discretion and professionalism in all his actions and I recommend him highly.
