Posted by Bridget | January 27, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

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

An advocate for wrongful termination

I was devastated when after 40 plus years I was laid off. Scott was able to not only explain my options he was was able to calm me. I didn’t think he could get me any more than what the company offered, which was an insult after all I did for them. I had almost nothing to lose so I ask him to go for ...more. When all was said and done I’m still out of work but I can afford to pay my bills while I look for work.

Josephine Purcaro--lawyer review

Look no further...If labor law is your issue then Scott is your guy.. The way the law is written I did not get that much of a settlement... So therefore Scott did not take any fee for himself...Great Service/Great Values...Still came out ahead of the game. If I ever need labor law again--I would neve...r go to anyone else.

How do you know if a lawyer is telling a lie? There lips are moving...

All I can say is I have read the reviews and this guy is a piece of work...I had him for 4 years and it was a complete waste of my time and money...do not use this lawyer if you have 20,000 thousand dollars because that is chump change to him at one point in the case with me he just stopped hugging ...me and I could tell he had had it. It was a very painful experience but deserved it. I wanted to sue and I seemed revenge...and if you seek revenge dig two graves. There are good and bad lawyers like everything else. I gave him a 5 stars for being knowledgeable because he is smart at screwing you.

Whistleblower at lipa , case crushed by untrustworthy lawyer

With intent this untrustworthy lawyer killed my case and took my money ,and I was trying to stop wrongdoing at lipa keyspan (2004) that would have made the changes at the utility which would have given us all on long island a better result after superstorm sandy and irene. He could not have worked an...y harder to sabatoge any chance at success for all ratepayers.Wrongdoing was in the multi millions mishkin pals had more cash then me.More to come very soon. A woman named Michele Bracco who died after sandy(nov. 5th) would be alive today if mishkin had not done his dirty deeds. This guy is not jiggy with do no harm oath. He finds who u r in conflict with and its who is the highest bidder.BEWARE OF THIS MONSTER

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
