Michael Joseph Shifrin

After practicing law within the condominium and community association industry for over a decade, Mr. Shifrin recognized a need. Clients, specifically boards of directors, were receiving sound legal advice but were looking for something more. Mr. Shifrin realized the missing component was what he calls "the human side of law." All condominium and community association legal issues involve people at their core. Understanding and having a mastery of applicable law is simply not enough. A skilled lawyer must also develop a deep understanding of the people involved and merge the two together. Often those people sit on the board of directors of a condominium or community association. Armed with this realization he began consistently applying this theory to his practice, which yielded terrific results. Clients began receiving legal advice specially tailored to their unique needs. Legal pitfalls were avoided and issues resolved quickly and efficiently rather than slowly and costly. Clients were pleased with this style of legal representation and the void was filled. Through Shifrin Legal, Mr. Shifrin hopes to bring his unique style of practice to as many condominium and community associations as possible. He believes understanding and implementing the "human side of law" is what separates great lawyers from good ones.
