This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Dismissive

Lack of communication and attention to reasonable questions asked regarding the scope of the case. Seemed annoyed and bothered by providing answers or a clear plan as to how he may be of help to the issues ....................................

Outstanding LAwyer

Michael Ostroff responded to me here on Avvo. After a very brief email exchange, he assisted me with my situation. Within 2-3 weeks, we received verification from the opposing attorney they consider this case closed. Guess who just hired Michael for their future lawyer needs, if required? I woul...d highly recommend Michael.

Mr. Carlos Bereciartu

Mr. Ostroff was very knowledgeable about bankruptcy and foreclosure and all that has to do with mortgages, because of Mr. Ostroff understanding on this matter he helped me and my family resolved our legal problem with the house. He conducted himself with such professionalism that I highly recommend h...im to be your lawyer.

Highly effective and patient attorney

Our case was complicated, time consuming and required many hours of research and court time. Michael communicated with us about what he was working on and always ensured that we understood what was happening. Because the case was complex and at times contentious, he worked hard to advocate on our b...ehalf while moving the case forward. Michael is a trusted advisor to us and while I do not want to have any more legal issues, I would not hesitate to seek him out if I needed any legal advice.

  • 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.
