Excellent Attorney- Got what I deserved

Michael was the best. He worked with me in the evening, on the weekends, and when I needed consultation. He worked fast- and effectively. Ultimately, I got exactly what I was looking for from my employer- and I couldn't have done it without Michael. My baby was born on his due date and came out h...ealthy- I have MIchael to thank for that. I would recommend Michael again in a heart beat and while I hope that I never have to hire Michael again- I would hire him again without hesitation.

Michael DiChiara

I sued my former employer (for wrongful termination) and settled out of court. I was very happy with my settlement amount. Throughout the entire process (from initial consultation to settlement), Mr. Dichiara was patient; and, answered all of my questions ( in a timely manner). i was aware of ...other cases he had represented and did not even consult another attorney. I highly recommend him.

Easy to Work With, Producing Great Results!

When I hired Michael DiChiara, it was my first time ever working with a lawyer. I definitely chose the right one. He instantly put me at ease, taking any of the hassle and confusion out of the process entirely, and turning an uncomfortable situation with my former employer into an absolute triumph f...or me. He kept me informed every step of the way, made terrific recommendations, and was in general an utterly reliable advocate for my best interests at every step of the way. I would not hesitate to work with him again and I can happily recommend Michael DiChiara to others.

Excellent Attorney

Michael has helped advise my firm and resolve several matters / cases for several years now. He is smart, completely honest and fair with his advice. He does not try to over bill or over charge which I have found many other attorneys to do. I would recommend him to anyone.
