From One Community Professional To Another

The Lenard Team has been selling Real Estate in Smithtown since 1985. We have had interactions with many local attorneys over the years and our recent experience with Mr. Birzon was exceptional. The representation he provided our mutual client was top notch. His support staff was very accommodating, ...friendly, and knowledgable. I would recommend this firm to anyone in the community when it comes time to buy or sell a home.

"I endorse Attorney Birzon. From his answers and time on Avvo, it is clear he is dedicated to serving those in need and his clients. It's rare that lawyers spend so much valuable time helping the community, for free, and I applaud him for doing it to such a great level. Kudos"

Medical malpractice lawyer | Aug 01

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"If you think you may have been injured by a health care provider I'd highly recommend that you contact Mitch, get a copy of his book and get the "straight talk" about New York medical malpractice cases. Lots of lawyers run big time TV ads promising you the world. Mitch will tell you the truth about your claim. Give him a call first, even if its just to get his cool book. You will be happy that you did."

Avvo Rating

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.
