A stellar attorney

I can't speak highly enough of Michael. He advised me on a venture I was involved in over several years, from the initial idea all the way through to closing the company down. He helped with the business plan, forming the company, numerous contracts, and winding down the organization. He provided ex...cellent advice, with a combination of deep legal expertise and practical business perspective. He always gave me his full attention, was incredibly responsive and detail oriented, and made sure I didn't miss a step. I highly recommend Michael!

We hired Michael to update our estate plan. He was thorough, knowledgeable and cared about our needs. His fee was also much lower than we expected.

Business lawyer | May 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I’ve been working with Michael for almost six months now, and I am consistently impressed by his professionalism and knowledge of tax law, tax strategies, and tax research resources in probate and estate planning. While his practice focuses on business and contract matters, my exposure is to his broad knowledge arising from his Ll.M. in taxation from Georgetown, and I cannot wait to refer him cases utilizing his knowledge of Immigration Law from his time as on the Immigration Law Journal at Georgetown. His presentation evidences encyclopedic knowledge, and I have employed him on my own account, as well for complex estate tax tax planning. His skills in business disputes and a broader range of business matters and litigation grows consistently, and his devotion and responsiveness to his clients is superior. He’s a real find."
