Michael Joseph Babboni's Lawyer Endorsements

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Atty Babboni for over twenty years as both an adversary and now as someone who performs mediations for him. He has always represented Plaintiff's in a professional, but aggressive, fashion. He will certainly "walk the walk" and not just talk about going to trial. In all cases he does not lose sight that the case is his client's - working in their best interests at all times."
