Smart, responsive, caring
Mitch is that rare find in an attorney. He's the big city lawyer in the suburban setting. But more importantly, he's got your back during business negotiations. He's smart and gets the big picture well.

Contract review and negotiation
Mitch has been great at reviewing contract documents between my business and New York State Agencies. He has guided me with thoroughness, and the highest professionalism. He has been compassionate and preservers more than anyone I know. I enthusiastically recommend him as an attorney.
