Michael S. Haber

MICHAEL S. HABER HAS BEEN PRACTICING LAW IN NEW YORK FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS.

His extensive experience in litigation and in estate-related matters makes him a perfect choice to help you with various kinds of cases - probate, administration, trust, and guardianships.

His background includes litigation in virtually every state and federal court - NYS Surrogate's Court, NYS Supreme Court, Appellate Division, NY Court of Appeals, US District Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals, where he has helped to establish new law.

So he is especially qualified to handle not just estate probate or administration, but also related legal or real estate matters. His experience in many different courts throughout New York makes him familiar with the differing approaches taken by different courts and different judges.

MICHAEL BRINGS A COMMON-SENSE APPROACH TO THE PRACTICE OF LAW.

Words are his tools and his weapons. That awareness aids his oral advocacy in court, where he is known for being extremely well-prepared and for understanding every last detail of his case. It also informs his preparation of legal briefs, an activity in which he not only has vast experience, but one that he is particularly well suited for based on his background before practicing law, as a journalist, public relations specialist, and political aide.

That combination of experience helps him to use two of a lawyer's most essential tools - the ability to write well and to develop a pragmatic strategy. As Michael often says, "Hoping for the best is not a strategy."
