Biography

- Former felony prosecution experience in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office

If you are under investigation for criminal behavior or if you have already been arrested, the time to act is now. It is best not to answer questions by law enforcement without the legal protection of a knowledgeable attorney. It is highly recommended that you do not discuss your case with anyone, whether family members or friends, without first seeking counsel from a lawyer.
Similarly, it is best not to give statements to insurance adjusters about your personal injury claim. Insurance companies generally are not on your side; their employees and representatives work for the benefit of their employers in making every effort to minimize or deny your claim. Instead, seek the help of an attorney who knows how to protect your rights and interests from the outset.

Unreliable
It’s stressful enough working through my pain but to find lawyer after lawyer uninterested in my case is extremely disappointing. As many I have reached out to before, this was no different. Michael & his team are curt, not interested when contacted. Maybe it’s me but with the injury I’m dealing with...
