Michael worked one of my biggest contracts for my company

Michael is one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. This is the only guy I trust to help manage any of my business contracts. That being said, Michael helped execute one of the biggest contracts for my company. Michael will always have your best interest at heart. He always make sure you ...make well informed decisions when building contracts with clients.

Double property buyout

I had a very unique buyout situation. Michael was great! He guided me throughout the entire way and successfully executed the closings.

Highly Recommended

We couldn't be more grateful to have found and more impressed with Michael Iakovou and Associates. Not only did we receive prompt responses from Michael, but he was exceptionally generous with his time during the process of closing on our home. As we were first time home buyers, he was able to thorou...ghly review contracts and discuss our rights as buyers. We were in the process of purchasing a flip property which ended up being complicated due to the fact that the sellers kept delaying projects which then delayed closing. Michael would consistently contact seller’s lawyer and ultimately came up with a plan so we can close on the house with no additional delays. Being emotionalIy involved in a property we almost lost hope but Michael assured us that we will close on the house and be happy with the outcome. After a period of time of negotiating we were able to close and as Michael promised, we were very satisfied at closing. Michael made this experience easier on us as we trusted his knowledge. I recommend using Michael Iakovou and Associates with the highest level of satisfaction and look forward to using his services again.

Highly Recommended!

Mr. Iakovou provided me with excellent legal assistance. Through his valuable efforts and expertise, I was granted a settlement deal that I'll always be thankful for. From day one, Mr. Iakovou demonstrated trust and loyalty to my labor case and me, as his client. He was very thorough in every step... of the process, gathering as much information and facts to build a strong case on my behalf, all while maintaining constant communication with me by providing me with all updates along the way. Mr. Iakovou's investigation and expertise in labor law, coupled with strong negotiation skills, he succeeded to find me a settlement that I was very satisfied with. Mr. Iakovou was able to turn a complicated case into a successful one by investing 100% of his efforts into my case, and in turn I am now invested in him as a professional and reliable attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Iakovou for labor cases- not only for his extensive knowledge with the Hospitality Industry, but for his willingness to be there for his client, answering all questions, and providing professional and effective results.

MVAIC Personal Injury remedies got full amount

Essentially I received a recomendation to retain Mr. Iakovou. I went and we spoke for 30 mintues going over everything and he told me to bring him documents he would need, which I did. I was sidewiped by a truck while riding a citibike and I did not get the license plate. My pinky finger was broken a...nd I had lacerations on my right leg from the truck and the fall off the bike. I was informed to go to MVAIC to get No-Fault Insurance, which I did and the paid for all my medical expenses and physical therapy. You also have to get your injury remedies from them as well, the max you can get is $25,000. I believe I would have gotten a low ball offer from them of around $5,000, but Michael's skill, influence and prenesce when he contacted them resulted in him giving me the news that he got me the full $25,000. So I spoke with him once and gave him everything he asked for as far as documentation which is IMPORTANT people. A month later he told me he got the full amount. That was it. So he's great and I fully recommend him for a
