Very Satisfied

I worked with Misha to help guide me through the public assistance process necessitated by a relative falling ill. He was proactive throughout the process, kept me well informed and was able to explain to me (in understandable terms) what was going on. He truly cares about the client not just getti...ng the job done - which he did very well

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"You will be hard pressed to find another lawyer who will provide you with the level of personal attention and excellent service as Misha. Misha really goes the extra mile for his clients, as evidenced by the many house calls he makes to clients who may have a hard time coming into the office. Misha is who I make a referral to whenever someone needs estate planning or elder law services."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
