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.

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

Very professional, honest, and Scott and his team give you such a sense of understanding of what is happening.

I have never been anything but completely happy and calm when dealing with Scott or anyone in his team of knowledgable employees. He has given me represention through this whole litigation process, I am always fully kept up to speed with what is happening with my lawsuit, he always goes the extra mil...e in what ever stage we are in. He always makes sure I understand what is happening and what to expect next, he fully prepared me for every step of this process. He always returns calls, even after hours or weekends, in am happy that Scott Michael Mishkin and his law firm the one I choose to stand by me though this time of stress and the unknown, he is the best! I would recommend him to anyone, family, friend, or and acquaintance. I am confident that this knowledgable attorney has my back the entire time. A+ in my opinion. Thanks Scott for all you do for me!

I agree. Exceptional.

It's true. Scott Michael Mishkin and his team are rare. I knew every thing about my case step by step. Returned telephone calls, e-mails with attached court documents, regular billing statements so I knew exactly what was performed on my matter, and yes, successful litigation. Mr. Mishkin would e...ven contact me after work hours and on weekends to answer my questions. Even on Sunday. He and his team were very dedicated to my matter and I truly appreciated it. The other reviews stated he was a rare attorney and its true. Between his knowledge of the law as it applied to my allegations, and his staff's attentiveness to me, I also strongly recommend you speak with him before retaining another lawyer. He is the real deal. Thank you Mr. Mishkin.

Outstanding Highly Recommend

I am a professional and run a very active heavily employed public business. Mr. Mishkin's Law Firm was highly recommended to me to defend my business in claims for discrimination, retaliation and unpaid wages. Mr. Mishkin and his staff were successful in representing my business interests and mysel...f and my partners could not have been more satisfied and appreciative of the outcome and effort of this wonderful and knowledgeable Law Firm. Mr. Mishkin not only walked me through the law, but he understood the emotional distraught this action caused myself and my business partners. Kudos to Mr. Mishkin and his staff. How great this Firm is. Myself and my partners highly recommend this dedicated and caring Law Firm.
