Mr.

Working with Michael C. Esq., made the selling process seamless. He, along with his paralegal worked diligently, and he was upfront and honest throughout. Michael’s also highly experienced and he makes your interests a priority. We would highly recommend working with Michael for anyone who is in th...e market of selling their home.

BEWARE!

After reading the good reviews online I decided to use the firms services, and presenting my case to Michael. He told me multiple times that I have a strong case, and he left a good impression so I have decided to trust him and use his services. I have spent a lot of money and time (several months...), I asked him for an update regarding the lawsuit over an email with no response. And then, came his vacation, his classes that he teaches, and other errands that prevented him from responding to me, yet not from charging of course. Finally after reaching him over the phone (few months into the case) he has reminded to tell me that the lawsuit that he charged me for several months is not his field of expertise. Meaning he legally cannot represent me which is the reason for hiring him in the first place. When I asked him why didn't you tell me that its NOT YOUR FIELD OF PRACTICE! Why did you take my case! YOU WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY! He argued that we should agree to disagree and blew me off. Beware from his opinions! Hiring him requires another lawyer to check that he is doing is job right!

The Best Lawyer

I was looking to buy my first house and reached out to Michael. He was very calm and composed and explained me the complete process of home buying and made me feel at ease. I decided at that point itself that he will be my lawyer. The home buying process is lengthy and complex but Michael was always ...there to explain each step in the process and guided me whenever required. Also he provided great insight which really helped me and negotiated on my behalf with the seller so I can get the maximum sellers credit. He and his team really made the process smooth and kept me on track to close the house much sooner than the offer closing date. On the day of closing there was last minute issues that came up but Michael was quick to identify a solution which really helped me to close the house. I will strongly recommend his services to anyone looking for a lawyer and would be definitely reaching out to him again if I ever need a lawyer.

Lawyer, whom we can trust.

Lawyer, whom we can trust. During my life I made deals with lawyers for different matters, but only Michael Schonberger I can highly recommend. We hired him to terminate the contract. MIchael did all to help us escape the situation with the least loss possible and we are really grateful to him for t...hat. Michael is highly professional, knowledgeable and organized, but on top of that he is easy to get in touch with, has a great sense of humor and is a trustworthy person. His office is efficient and very helpful too.

Would definitely hire Michael again

I hired Michael a week after a real estate deal went south...way south. This transactions was part of a marital settlement agreement (MSA) from a divorce and quite complex. What I appreciated about Michael was not only his professional expertise and honesty, but his empathy. He knew how emotionally ...taxing this process was and never once took advantage of it. Where others might have used that to bill up hours, he did the opposite and kept me grounded. Michael protected my interest throughout the process while advancing negotiations with the other party. His knowledge of the law and structuring deals is impressive to say the least. It's rare to find someone so passionate about their work and who cares about the wellbeing of their clients; Michael is that person. I would happily recommend Michael to any friend or family member and will definitely use him in the future.
