In particular, his virtual office allows clients to obtain quality legal work at cost-effective rates. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for sound estate and business planning advice."
"I was able to be an established member on the contracting team while with GE Healthcare when Mike began his term in the position, and saw much growth through his time in the role. Not only was Mike able to quickly take on multiple tasks within his job responsibilities, but was also willing to take on additional responsibilities to help out the team. He was never afraid to ask for help, or provide his input on how to better a process to make it more manageable for not just himself, but the rest of the team, and the company as a whole. His ability to successfully negotiate complex business transactions within the context of the job is outstanding. I would recommend him for any position as a valuable asset to any opportunity"

Mr. Brennan is a fantastic individual and truly cares about his work product. He diligently researched concepts prior to taking action on matters and he always provided sympathy for those in need. Mr. Brennan will take good care of you."

"I would feel comfortable recommending Mike Brennan to anyone. He is a very skilled attorney with expansive estate planning and commercial law experience. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work directly with Mike within the contracting team at GE Healthcare, and throughout my experience working with him, I was thoroughly impressed with his keen attention to detail and strong analytical skills, which helped him successfully review, negotiate, and draft multimillion dollar service and equipment contracts in a multi-state zone. Mike's dedicated work ethic and results driven attitude coupled with his ability to successfully manage numerous responsibilities makes me confident that he will go far, and please many clients along the way."
