Best securities attorney

I was looking to leave my firm and wanted Mike to go over my contract. With firms being more litigious, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t going to have any issues. In less than 24 hours he put my mind at ease. He was very thorough, explained what my rights were, etc.. Just talking to Mike, yo...u know you have a lawyer in your corner who will fight for you and help you in anyway he possibly can. If you’re in the securities industry, he should be the first lawyer you call.

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!!!

Ethical lawyer

I came to know Mike Utilla after an accidental encounter. Long story, but my friend was using Utilla and his services were referred to me. I cant say enough good things about Mike Utilla and how he handles his practice. The man knows the letter of the law. I never thought the words ethical and lawyer... could be used in the same sentence until I met Mike. He was up front, honest and a true pro to work with. I am extremely happy with Utilla and highly recommend him to anyone considering his services.

Michael Utilla- the best lawyer experience I ever had

It is fair to say that lawyers do not have the best reputation. I guess I am lucky b/c I know I have a lawyer that is on my side. In my life I have made a few mistakes and have had have been in some difficult situations, I have also started a business, as well as was once a broker. Needless to say ...I have had my fair share of legal interaction and had to deal with a few lawyers. Typically after being with a lawyer you want to go home and take a shower! But after deaing with Mr. Utilla I can honestly say that I will never be worried or concerned with my legal representation ever again. I have never felt as secure in my belief that I made the right decision. What should have been something that I was nervous about for my lack of knowledge, turned out to be a very easy and seamless experience. This is not to say my concerns came without merit, they were justified and in the hands of a lesser lawyer the result could have been very different. But thankfully I found Mr. Utilla and I can say without a doubt in my mind whenever I have a legal issue from here on I will not hesitate to use Michael Utilla or seek his advice.
