"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have great respect for Michael Jaffe (no relation). Insightful, articulate, professional, Mr. Jaffe never fails to respond, and his response is never off-point nor overbearing. On several occasions, I have used Mr. Jaffe as a resource for finding answers to questions on novel legal issues. It is no wonder why he is so well regarded by the bench and bar."
