Impeccable credentials

As a colleague who has called upon Mr. Talassazan for his expertise in various areas of law, I can personally attest to his deep knowledge, sharp instincts and years of experience that serve to provide unparalleled representation to his clients. Highly recommended.

Heaven Sent (He beat my gun case)

Michael reached out to me once I inquired about speaking with a lawyer and at that time I was stressed out not knowing how I was going to be able to beat my case, after speaking with him I decided to hire Michael and he did his best to make sure that he stayed on top of me to get him all the informat...ion that he needed to present a strong case in my defense after six to seven months of traveling from Georgia to New York having to pay for flights every month, having to sacrifice bills and almost costing me my job, Michael was able to get my case dismissed with nothing but a fine and the agreement to surrender my handgun. against all the odds that was face against me, everybody telling me that I will not win or beat a gun case in New York City. Michael was able to do the impossible and get me off clean with out anything on my record, i owe him everything, he is the best thank you.

Medical Fraud Case

Michael has been an extremely compassionate attorney, he is sympathetic or rather understanding of criminal matters therefore lacks a judgmental approach, yet he is very honest and "street wise." He is always on time, available when needed, reasonable, and consistent. He will give the best expert adv...ice, whilst keeping your legal/future state in mind, versus telling you what you want to hear in order to continue practicing on your case. I would recommend Attorney Michael Eran Talassazan for any legal matter, as he is willing to put the research and time into inquiring about the best legal approach, regardless of the specialty.

Excellent lawyer

After contacting a few lawyers about an incident I found Mr. Talassazan to be the most helpful. He kept me informed throughout the process and answered all my questions. I am very satisfied with the result of my case and would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.
