Small Business Legal Help

I have opened two small business with the help of Michael Shilinski and he has been great with navigating through red tape with the state and helping to craft contracts. I am very happy with all of the services he provided. I will also go back to him with any issues that need to be addressed with eit...her business.

Everything was smooth - exactly what you'd want!

Michael handled my mom's will, power of attorney and health care proxy and then after she passed handled the probate of her estate. The documents he prepared worked exactly as one would want, allowing me to handle my mom's affairs after she fell ill. Michael was always extremely responsive and coord...inated well with my other family members. The probate process was smooth and there were absolutely no hiccups. I always felt well-informed at every step of the way and Michael was highly responsive to any requests for information or clarification that I had. I recommend him without hesitation.

A Very Good Estate Planning Attorney

I hired Michael for working out my estate plan: Will, Health Care Proxy, Living Will, and Power of Attorney for finances. I am very pleased with the job he did, both with advising me and preparing the documents. This included giving my executor and Power of Attorney agent proper legal access to my di...gital assets, which is apparently still considered to be a new thing in the legal world. He charged a reasonable flat fee for his service. I would expect to hire him again for revisions to my estate plan in the future.

Excellent Lawyer

Michael made our property deed transfer as effortless for us as possible. He communicated clearly with all involved parties, allayed every concern, and expertly completed the process. Thank you so much, Michael.

The Best

I was referred to Michael Shilinski through my realtor at Centurty 21 when selling my house in Pleasantville. Michael is highly organized, resourceful and personable. Though I inadvertently brought some glitches to the process of selling, Michael was able to iron them out quickly and with professio...nal aplomb. I could not have asked for a better real estate attorney experience.

  • 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.
