I Highly Recommend Michael Freed
Michael Freed is an outstanding lawyer who handled the sale of my business. He made the business transaction process seamless. I am a small business owner but he treated me with the same respect and professionalism that he would any corporate giant. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field(s) of expertise and I highly recommend him for any business need you may have.

DOUGLAS MUIR, CEO
I was recommended to Michael Freed from another attorney in Jacksonville Florida. I am going through a tough and complicated litigation processes with my partner in a NYC company I own. Michael has a very easy way about him and has the canning ability to sift through the complicated matters. His response rate is one I have never experienced in all my years with attorneys. He has answered all my questions within hours! This is defiantly something you do not get from attorneys.The best part about Michael is that he is always keeping cost in mind. I like to say, Michael is a business man who practices law and litigation very well. He is an entrepreneur’s best friend.
