When a lawyer needs a lawyer
Sometimes a lawyer needs a lawyer. Michael handled a matter for me and I could not have asked for more compassionate, thorough, and professional legal representation. It is with the utmost confidence, that as a satisfied client, I can recommend Michael wholeheartedly.

Review for Michael Catalanotto
Michael failed to litigate effectively. My case quickly deteriorated with his counsel. Because of him I was displaced from my home and agreed to a temporary custody order that is not satisfactory. He suggested I get an order of protection after being the victim of domestic abuse and swiftly recomm...
We only represented Tracy for a few weeks, but in that time we provided the hands-on representation we do for all of our clients. We quickly negotiated a settlement which we strongly felt was in Tracy's best interest and which was better than her original request for relief. However, when it came time to execute the agreement, our client backed out and demanded the return of her already expended retainer, which request was refused. She then stated that if we were not to return the proceeds, she would commence an internet campaign against us. During our representation of Tracy, we had near daily telephone, e-mail and text message communication, including assisting with custody issues on weekends and Easter Sunday. We verbally settled the matter and drafted the legal documents necessary to effectuate the settlement. Contrary to what Tracy states, our office never made agreements on her behalf without her knowledge and presence. We understand that Family Court and divorce actions are difficult and emotional legal proceedings and, keeping that in mind, always strive to provide our clients with the attention they deserve and the very best service.
