Excellent attorney who cares.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Scott M. Mishkin. I brought him in to review and guide me through a complex employment/contract situation, and his involvement truly made all the difference in reaching a successful outcome. Having worked in the legal profession for over 30 ...years, I have dealt with many attorneys—and he truly stands out. From the beginning, he was thorough, thoughtful, and incredibly detail-oriented. He didn’t just go through the contract—he genuinely looked out for me. He caught things I never would have seen and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. I always felt like I understood where I stood and what my options were. What meant the most to me was that he genuinely cared about the outcome. I never felt like just another client. I felt like he was on my team! He was responsive, patient, and very reasonable in his approach, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. I trusted his judgment completely, and he delivered. I also want to mention Rebecca at the front desk, who was always kind, professional, and helpful. She made communication easy and kept everything running smoothly. Because of Scott M. Mishkin I was able to move forward with confidence and peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs someone in their corner who truly cares. A wonderful man and excellent attorney.

Client review for Scott Michael Mishkin

Scott Michael Mishkin is the attorney who represented me in my discrimination case. He represents the highest form of legal knowledge, professionalism and caring about his clients. He is patient , and goes over and above to achieve the best possible outcome . Scott represented me on a work discrimi...nation case this past year . He always kept me in the loop, he took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and what the next steps in the process would be, He genuinely cares and made it a point to keep me comfortable and involved with the process. He was always available, and at any time of day or night. I recommend him with my highest rating for anyone in need of a discrimination attorney . He is the best.

There are good, sincere people in this world-I feel lucky that one of them was my lawyer. Scott Michael-Mishkin

From the very first phone call with Scott, after reading his glowing reviews, I knew I had found the right attorney. I hired him for a wrongful termination and sexual harassment case including the EEOC, and from day one, he impressed me with his knowledge, compassion, and professionalism. ...Scott is one of the smartest people I've ever met. He knows employment law inside and out. There's no doubt you're in the hands of someone who truly understands how the system works and how to navigate it. He's sharp, strategic, and meticulous, always thinking several steps ahead. At the same time, he's warm, approachable, and has a great sense of humor that makes even stressful moments easier to handle. What really stood out to me was how deeply he cared about my life beyond my case. He showed genuine empathy when I shared my cancer story and my experiences raising a son with autism. He listened not just as an attorney, but as a real person who wanted to understand my story and stand beside me through it. His office is beautiful, and his staff is professional and friendly. His secretary is always on top of things. She is organized, efficient, and kind. Appointments always ran on time, and I never had to wait. There were no surprise fees: Scott is up front about costs and crystal clear about billing. Scott reminds me of all the characters from the Wizard of Oz in one person. He has the brains, the heart ,and the courage. He fought hard for me and never backed down. If you're looking for an attorney who is brilliant, kind, and truly dedicated to his clients, I can't recommend Scott highly enough. He is brilliant, genuine and courageous-the kind of advocate everyone hopes to have in their corner. I'm incredibly grateful not just what he did for my case, but how he made me feel heard and valued me along the way. It is important to me that other people who are looking for help can know what an extraordinary attorney and human being he is. Feeling incredibly grateful. Bridget Riley-Marine January 2026

Wrongful termination/Compassion and empathy

After consulting on my case with many other attorneys who said no because I was a part time employee. Scott said yes. Because I was a part time employee for a church, who lost his job , and also experienced the traumatic loss of a loved one Scott showed compassion and empathy to structure a paymen...t plan ( that other attorneys would not) that enabled me to move forward seeking justice for my wrongful termination. With Scott's expertise, Scott was able to secure a favorable settlement on my behalf.
