This was our first time hiring a lawyer, so we had lots of questions, all of which Michelle was very patient and kind enough to address each and every one. Michelle and her team helped us through a very emotional and challenging eviction case (we as the landlords), and at each step we felt heard and well-guided. We eventually won the case, and we realize there is no way we could have done it without Michelle’s help. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal advice who might be a little intimidated by the whole thing, Michelle was so kind and patient and clearly communicated difficult legal speech in regular terms. So grateful!
I was in need of a litigation attorney after receiving a complaint filed by a former employer. I was extremely concerned about the situation due to the truth being distorted in a way that could have caused serious legal repercussions. Ms Aulivola was referred to me by a coworker and after speaking to her the first time she stood out from the other lawyers I had spoken to. Her fees were very reasonable and she was extremely attentive to my matter. Ms Aulivola always made himself available to me by phone within a few hours if I had questions and her staff was very professional. I found her to be a very honest and tenacious person that you want on your side. My situation was resolved quickly and I have since used her again multiple times for contract negotiations and other matters.
As a litigation attorney, I represent individuals and business entities involved in disputes relating to contracts, real property, estates, corporations and civil rights violations, among others. I defend attorneys and other professionals facing professional grievance complaints and disciplinary proceedings. I have been appointed by the Supreme Court to act as a referee in real estate foreclosure proceedings and as a receiver in commercial foreclosure proceedings and shareholder disputes. I am admitted to practice in the State of New York and the United States Eastern District Court.
I am committed to providing my clients with quality legal representation which exceeds their expectations, while also minimizing the stress of the litigation experience.

Great job
I hired Ms.Aulivola based on several recommendations. We met on a regular basis and she kept me current by phone and email. As a lawyer who neededhelp from a lawyer, I couldn't have made a better choice.

Great Attorney!
My mother and I needed an Attorney that could handle what we believed would be a difficult case. We looked into several attorneys but after speaking with Ms. Aulivola, we knew she would be able to get us the outcome we were hoping for. We were completely right! She handled the case with grace and ease. Very knowledgeable on the law and answered any of the questions we had (which were a lot). I believe she is a truly amazing attorney and I highly recommend her.
