Review Michael Zilberg

Excellent results, he exceeded my expectations.

Posted by

I couldn't be happier with the results that Mr. Zilberg and his firm were able to get for me. He took the time to fully understand the nature of my unique case and needs. One of the best decisions I have ever made was to hire him.
