Sever Legal Malpractice

Broke multiple multiple rules in the rules of professional conduct. He promised to work our case and created a case against us and told us he couldn’t win anything for us. I’m Pro Se now.

Excellent choice

I hired Michael Cosentino to help me with a litigation issue. He is the consummate professional. The situation was highly charged and difficult to navigate for me but I knew from start to finish that I was in excellent hands. I'm extremely positive about our outcome. I look forward to working wit...h him and his firm in other day to day matters.
