Michael Gunzburg - Persistent Battler

Michael represented me in a personal injury case over several years and never let up the pressure on the multiple defendants that he identified. The case took a few twists and turns and Michael did a great job rolling with the punches and giving me good advice. Without his dedication and thoughtfulne...ss the outcome could have been different.

If You Expect Great Results Hire This Attorney

I met Michael through my son's recommendation after six months of initiating a lawsuit with another lawyer, who proved to be totally ineffectual and utterly disinterested. I met with Michael Gunzburg after a brief phone exchange and hired him on the spot, mainly because of his a priori expertise and... preliminary advice. I was suing the MTA, a delicatessen store, and Cemusa jointly, for having been abandoned on the street with a broken ankle after the M10 let me get off precisely into a pot hole, and the driver rode away, leaving me to call my own ambulance This was a long case: almost seven years, to be precise. In the six and half years in which Michael oversaw my case, he was ALWAYS there for me, ALWAYS informed me with sufficient time for doctor's visits and depositions, changed them readily on those occasions when I could not attend, and without fail gave me the best advice ,which eventually led to a truly satisfactory resolution of my case. I am convinced that had I not had his counsel and care throughout this process, my results would not have been the same. Michael is serious, knowledgeable, aware of every angle, savvy, honest and definitely in his client's court. I have nothing but praise for him and nothing but utmost respect for his craft and professional skill. On those occasions when I observed him interact with other attorneys, I could see the respect they accorded him. I am convinced that my outcome would have been different had he not been there to counsel me. I hope never to need Michael again, but for those who need expertise, clarity and good advice, I would recommend that you retain Michael Gunzburg.

Good lawer

Mr. Gunzburg helped me to navigate a difficult case and kept me informed each step of the way. He is excellent at explaining everything and making sure I understand what's going on. Michael was responsive to all my calls and always updating me on the status of my case. Mr. Gunzburg knows his job an...d very knowledgeable about what he does. I was extremely happy with Michael's representation and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Excellent Referral from another attorney

My friend, an attorney, referred me to Michael W. Gunzburg after I was involved in a horrific motor vehicle accident. His respectful demeanor and obvious knowledge of personal injury cases immediately put me at ease. He made it a priortiy to keep the case moving forward and directed an extremely co...mpetent team of attorneys and consultants that proved to benefit me greatly,financially. His communications were always timely. I was both consulted continuously and aided in any decision making that was necessary.

Knowledgeable Hands-On Attorney

Lawyer Michael Gunzburg represented me in a personal injury case. I thought he was great because he kept my case moving through the court system. He regularly communicated to me the status of my case by sending me email updates. When I had questions, he would take my calls when available. If not, he... would promptly return my call or email me. I found him to be very hands-on. I felt confident when I had my deposition as he fully prepared me in advance, answered all my questions, and guided me during the process. I am extremely satisfied with his representation and would highly recommend him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Michael Gunzberg is a consummate dedicated professional. He cares about his clients. Indeed, he frankly obsesses over his cases -- and gets great results. Michael prepares every case as if it is going trial. He has a nurse on staff. He often uses mock juries to hone his message. I have sought his advice on picking a jury. In my 27 years of practice, I have not met a more dedicated personal injury lawyer. I recommend him highly without any reservations."

"Michael Gunzberg is a dogged and talented trial lawyer. He will gladly go to bat for his clients above and beyond what other attorneys in his field would do. His fearlessness in the courtroom makes him a formidable adversary for the defense, and when he takes a case for a client, that client should know that he/she is in exceptional hands."
