Excellent, Competent and Comprehensive
Mr Ettinger has worked with my family for over a decade and has provided excellent advice on numerous issues relating to trust and elder law. He is extremely knowledgable and responsive. I highly recommend him.

Smart Advice from a smart attorney
We were looking for an attorney who would ADVISE us how to proceed with Special Needs issues and estate planning not to just do what we told him. We found Mr. Ettinger to listen, to be empathetic and to be knowledgable on all aspects involved. We are confident that we have excellent legal counsel ...

We have been Ettinger clients for almost 10 years. He has assisted us in setting up trusts, provided referrals to other excellent advisors when needed, answered all our questions and always gave up-to-date guidance. Outstanding!
Michael Lawrence Ettinger's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mike Ettinger has helped thousands of clients over the years. He and I belong to the same by-invitation only national organization of estate planning attorneys, which is a testament to the high regard in which he is held among New York estate planning attorneys."
"Mike is the preeminent estate planning and elder law attorney in New York. With 8 offices all over New York, years of experience, and thousands of cases, he's the New York lawyer who can seamlessly combine estate planning with elder law and medicaid issues to make it easy for a family to create a comprehensive plan. Plus, he has the staff to followup on related issues, such as probate and trust administration. I have known Mike professionally for over 15 years. He is one of the few lawyers I would travel halfway across the country to hear speak. If we have clients who move to New York, or have property there, his office is the one we call. Without question, I give him my highest recommendation."
"During our long professional relationship, I have learned that there is almost no question that Michael cannot answer. I cannot think of, or more highly endorse, a better estate planning or elder law resource for upstate New Yorkers than Michael Ettinger."
"To say that Michael Ettinger is a competent estate planning attorney is a woefully inadequate understatement -- and it misses the mark. He has literally changed the way scores of attorneys across the country advise their clients. Michael's creativity has led the way for many of us to move from the traditional "wealth transfer" model to a more comprehensive "beneficiary protection" model. Many of the trusts first created by Michael Ettinger are now a staple solution for our clients. If you are looking for creative and effective estate planning solutions, custom tailored for your family, I would unequivocally recommend and endorse the Ettinger Law Firm."
"Mike Ettinger is a real go-getter, always looking out for the best interest of his clients. I have referred several clients of my own to him who needed a New York elder law/estate planning attorney, and have always gotten positive feedback. He knows what he's doing and he's trusthworthy. I endorse him."
"I have known Mike Ettinger for 15 years. He is concerned about his clients and a leader in his field of estate planning and elder law. He generously shares his expertise with me and other attorneys. I endorse this lawyer's work."
