Working with Mr. Paes for 9 years and worth it !!

I have been working with Michael Paes for some time now, roughly 9 years. We find his work extremely helpful, on point and truly a must in labor law. He has guided our company through many many issues with very little impact to our bottom line. Very reasonable and absolutely worth every moment and do...llar.

Thorough And Engaged

Mike is a godsend. He has provided wise counsel on employment related issues as well as in the non-profit sector. He is thorough, works to understand the issues and responds quickly. Time and again his counsel was well thought out and proved to be the right strategy. He is also very personable an...d takes the time to explain the rationale behind his thinking. He has been invaluable to us.

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.
