Michael L. Moskowitz is my partner and colleague at Weltman & Moskowitz, LLP. Michael enjoys a stellar reputation among his peers for his sweeping knowledge of the unique legal needs of Credit Unions and regional banks in fraud investigations, asset recovery, and reducing borrower delinquency. We have worked together as co-counsel for 25 years on literally hundreds of creditor-debtor, bankruptcy, and complex business litigation cases. Michael focuses on the issues and cuts to the chase. Not surprisingly, I have come to rely on his peerless judgment, impeccable insight, attention to detail, and total dedication to the firm's clients. The simple fact is Michael is committed to resolving each client's unique challenges as if they were his own. There is no better endorsement for any lawyer than that.
