Michael Utilla is the most competent and hardest working attorney I ever had

I have known and have utilized Michael's services for many years. Through different industries in my professional life, I have counted on Michael for unbiased and straight forward guidance. He is one of the only attorney's I have ever retained who has used logic and actually worked to finalize the ta...sk at hand without having been pushed to do so. There is no other attorney that I could ever say the same about. I am grateful for people like Michael who can protect my interests and be there when needed.

Simply the Best

Mr. Utilla has been my trusted attorney for many years. He has represented myself and my partners in disputes, contract negotiations and any specific questions we have had about how to properly and legally handle our business. If you want the most intelligent advice from one of the best in the indust...ry he should be at the top of your list.

Priceless Advice

I have been using Michael's services for 5 years and have always been more than satisfied. I think of him as a pitbull in my corner that people fear and respect when they hear he is in my attorney. I remember the first time I used his advise relating to my former broker/dealer. The broker/dealer was ...calling my clients even though I had a non-compete agreement. Once I got Mike involved the calls to my clients quickly ceased. Even though I wanted to pursue the matter further, Mr. Utilla told me to save the legal fees as I probably would not be able to collect. Sure enough this ten year old entity was out of business in 6 months.

Michael Utilla - A fantastic securities attorney

Michael Utilla is a fantastic securities attorney. I have been using him for the past 16 years. Before I started exclusively using Mr. Utilla I used several attorneys and there was always something that kept me searching for a new lawyer. Now we deal exculsivly with Mike, he helps with all aspects of... our securities business. The biggest compliment that I can possibly give is to say that Mike honestly cares as much about my Broker/Dealer as I do. He is a pleasure to work with and always gets the job done correctly and at a fair price. What more can you want from an attorney??
