Cleared me of all accusations

I was worried about accusations JP MORGAN had made against me, however Utilla reviewed my case and first eased my fears and reassured me that i did nothing wrong he wrote a FINRA response to their inquiry and 2-3 months later i get the thumbs up from FINRA to continue with no worries.....I absolutely... recommend UTILLA for anyone in the securities industry having problems like mine or more sever....THANX MIKE!!!

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.

Excellent Attorney !!!!

I have used Michael Utilla for various reasons over the course of 17 years. I have nothing but good things to say about his work and his results. Mike is very knowledgeable in the securities industry. He works very hard 7 days a week 365 days a year. I have recommended him to many people and have got... a lot of thank you's through the years. I highly recommend Mike Utilla for your legal needs especially in regards to the securities industry.

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??
