Absolutely appalling

This attorney showed zero respect for me and my wishes. He was impossible to communicate with, and in the minimal communication i received, there was zero indication he understood my concerns, let alone processed and chose to act upon them. The work he did was bare bones and despite paying him a flat... fee for the work he was supposed to do , wound up having to hire another attorney due to his negligent handling of my case . I cannot attest to how he handles cases in court but his handling of me as a client could not have been more unprofessional and disrespectful.

I called Michael to ask about a suspicious text message and phone call. Even though Michael was on vacation with his family he took the time to explain to me what I needed to do. He also faxed to me pertinent numbers and websites to help me with my problem. I would highly recommend the Kushner Law Gr...oup for any legal problems you may have.

Would 100% Recommend

Michael is a fantastic attorney, one of the best that I've worked with. Not to mention, that he's qualified for cases even at the federal level. I retained him in services regarding a life insurance policy, and I don't regret it at all. His office is located in a prime location, with helpful and frie...ndly staff, which only attests to his availability to his clients-both inside and outside of the office. He made himself readily available, and was speedy in all responses with every correspondence that we exchanged. His professionalism is unmatched, but also, his humor and humanity which make him not only a great attorney to work with, but also a great person.

Great experience

Kushner treated me with kindness and did not take advantage of my strained financial situation. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a respectable lawyer.

"Mike is a very hardworking and competent attorney. The one negative review he has from a client is absurd since the reviewer points out that Mike won the case. As in not guilty - full acquittal - best possible result you can get. For the client to complain after Mike secured an acquittal shows us that it is the ungrateful client here that was the problem."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
