I recently hired Michael to represent me on a matter concerning return of funds from a brokerage firm that improperly sought to freeze my accounts. No attorney wanted to take my case but Michael did. He was very responsive and professional. Only after couple months, I was able to get all my funds bac...k.

Honest ,Fair & Rational Attorney

I found Michael by doing a internet search and I was so glad I did .He's honest ,Fair and does not sugar coat just to get you to hire him . I hired Michael to represent me on two different cases over the past few years involving investment losses 1) including losses on an oil and gas investment ...,2) Non-disclosure of fee's ,Un authorized investments and unsuitable investments by my advisor . Both had positive outcomes . He explains things in a rational way so you can make informed decisions . You don't have to chase him down and he's always available even on the week-ends if its urgent . If you go with Mike I feel there is no one better to fight on your behalf .

Exceptional Support and Expertise

It has truly been a pleasure working with Mr. Giarrusso on our claim. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication that made a challenging process much easier to navigate. There’s no question that I would turn to him again if the need ever arose.... I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of similar representation, as he truly goes above and beyond for his clients, ensuring they feel supported and confident every step of the way.

Excellent representation and pleased with the outcome!

I recently received a settlement negotiated by Michael in a FINRA complaint regarding a badly represented REIT. I found Michael to be competent, always available, very thorough in all communications and on top of that very personable. I believe he did a great job of representing my interests and re...solving the complaint. Highly recommended in anything involving FINRA or REIT issues.

Very pleased with his services.

Michael represented us when one of our investments went bankrupt. He explained what he was going to do and what the different results might be. Once a course of action was determined, Michael set about to obtain a fair and equitable settlement, in a very quick and efficient way. We enjoyed working wi...th Michael and we were pleased with the end results of his work.
