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.

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.

Professional, Diligent, Knowledgeable, and Resourceful

I have the pleasure of being a business colleague of Michael Iakovou. He is well spoken, and a consummate professional in all aspects of law he practices. His response time is quick, and he is a man who pays attention to detail. All these traits make him an attorney I consistently refer my clients to... for their legal needs. He has treated all my clients with the courtesy, and service all clients deserve. Michael is well versed in Real Estate, and Business; and is a great resource to my business and the needs of my clientele. I come across a lot of attorneys in my line of work; and Michael's work ethic, and commitment to his clients make him an easy person to refer my clients to. I highly recommend Michael and his law firm for any transactional needs.

Great Business Savvy Lawyer

After many years as a young Entrepreneur learning my way, finding a knowledgeable and trustworthy Lawyer became essential for my success. Micheal is a rare find because he is not only a Lawyer but an entrepreneur and business owner that understands the challenges ahead when going into business. The e...xperience he brings to the table not only as a lawyer, but someone that has been in business before allows him to protect his clients just as he would protect himself. It is very hard to find Lawyers that can put themselves in your shoes, no law school can teach you that. That is why Michaels experience and professionalism is exactly what every entrepreneur needs on his side to survive the strenuous world of business!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
