Posted by Tom Margarido | October 21, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Business

An attorney with principles and the skills demeanor to deliver

Mike Kopsick is an attorney that exhibits fairness and the principles of good, but don't confuse that with weakness. Mike has the ability to lead the charge in a legal battle for you and win. Mike is one of the most intelligent attorneys that I have ever met and knows how to develop a streatigic plan... for a law suit and win. Our corporation has had two occasions to use Mike's services in a law suit, and each time I have been impressed with his approach and ability to control the situation. If you ever need an attorney related to a lawsuit, Mike Kopsick is the go to attorney to contact.

Employment and labor lawyer | Aug 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Kopsick and I have been opposing counsel in at least one employment dispute over the years. While we will likely continue to view our client matters very differently, I have found him to be respectful and knowledgeable. Perhaps the most telling endorsement I can offer is to state that if ever there were to exist a matter in which my firm found itself in conflict, I would have no hesitancy in recommending Attorney Kopsick. Respectfully submitted, Rob Fortgang - 8/1/08"

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.
