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.

Scott is the best lawyer who will fight for you.

I highly recommend Scott Michael Mishkin. I had a consultation with him because I had reported someone for sexual harassment at a major healthcare conglomerate. I wasn't sure how to proceed, as I was being intensely interviewed by their Human Resources department. Scott guided me every step of the... way, whether it be how to handle contact with their Human Resources or updating me consistently about the status of our case and his communications with the other legal counsel. My case was unique foe various reasons, but Scott researched the case law and put the pressure on the opposing counsel every step of the way. He fought for me when I was being gaslit by the opposing counsel and Human Resources, got the person I reported fired after his years long abuse, and reached a settlement for me that was not only monetary, but allowed me to keep my job. I couldn't have survived this traumatizing situation without him supporting me from start to finish. Contacting him was the best decision I made, and I would encourage anyone to reach out to him in a similar situation.

Professional, empathetic and knowledgeable.

I hired Scott to consult with me regarding and employment matter. I wanted his advice on handling the exit process at my current job. He answered emails promptly and was very helpful!

Best Lawyer to have

For a second time in my work career I needed an attorney, even though I had a written separation, severance agreement with my employer. What a nightmare this employer was, without Scott Mishkin who knows how long these people would have dragged out giving me my money owed to me. He was patient with m...y emails and questions and stayed on top of this case with my former employers lawyer, who just dragged my situation on. I knew 2 days after my being laid off, that my employer was def out to screw me, Scott answered my inquiry with a call immediately. You will find no better lawyer who will go the distance.

  • 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.
