CEO
We've used Mr. Massad as our construction attorney for at least the past 15 years. He has always been responsive to our needs and has provided excellent service to us. We highly recommend him.

World-Class Lawyer
Mr. Massad is a world-class lawyer. He has represented my companies for at least 20 years and has always been fair, honest and extremely smart. I highly recommend him.

Company President
Our company does about $20,000,000 a year in business. The big firms wouldn't give us the attention we needed and would often pass us off to lower level attorneys with little experience. Then they'd charge us $450 per hour for substandard work. Mr. Massad charges us far less than that and gives us the quality of a seasoned attorney with 30 years of experience. His honesty, integrity and quality of work is above question. This is VALUE lawyer which is something I didn't think existed.

Good Lawyer
Our company has had no less than 12 lawyers in the past 10 years. Mr. Massad is the best by far. VERY conscientious; VERY honest; VERY fair billing. Proud to be associated with him.

Excellent Lawyer
Very thoughtful, intelligent and fair. He's has to be the most honest lawyer I have met. He steered me away from spending more money on my case when he could have taken me to the cleaners.
