Mr. Fleishman Does What He Promises
It's so refreshing nowadays when a professional follows through on what they promise. I am new to Tucson and I have spent the last year curating the professionals (plumbers, medical specialists, mechanics, a lawyer) I need in my life's orbit to ensure the fewest complications and smoothest transitions in my life. I am so happy that I was referred to Mr. Fleishman and his expeditious nature and highly communicative skills made working with a lawyer a pleasure...what's the world coming to!

Wonderful service
I had consulted with Michael about a future transaction dealing with transfer of real estate to a family member. He was very helpful and clear about what my options were. It so happened that within a month, I needed his services for another small real estate matter. He was very responsive and handled the matter very promptly.

What a Pleasure!
I don't involve attorneys unless a bigger problem could arise if I didn't. So, when my mortgage company would not budge after I fell behind in payments during CoVid, anxiety was already high by the time I contacted Mr. Fleishman, and my expections were low for resolution. But it was such a pleasure working with him! His knowledge and experience, combined with the right industry connections to make things happen right away that I couldn't do on my own, put me at ease right away. Nothing I asked seemed to be an imposition on his time, and he took initiative to prevent potential issues that I couldn't forsee. I would highly recommend having Mr. Fleishman on your side. He not only knows his business, but he's personable and a gentleman.

Excellent Leadership
We found Michael through another attorney we had worked with in the past. Michael proved to be an excellent choice to resolve a contentious real estate issue to a successful resolution for us. He is very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and excellent to work with. We strongly recommend him should you need any real estate problem resolved.

Stellar Service Provided with Tax Lien Real Estate Process
Michael Fleishman was fantastic! He took all of the stress off of our plate with the piece of real estate that we acquired through the tax lien process. He knows the process inside and out. His pricing is very reasonable, and he kept us informed every step of the way. I highly recommend working with Michael on any of your real estate legal needs.

Honest and integrous
I hired Michael Fleishman on recommendation of a friend for assistance with the acquisition of my company by another entity. Michael had an attention to detail and my best at heart at every turn. I negotiate contracts for a living but these sorts of contracts are not my wheelhouse. He caught things that I didn't and also let me walk this experience out based on my faith as a follower of Christ. Later I found that he also is a follower of Christ, so no doubt that he was/is a God-send in my time of need. Thank you to Michael for all the assistance and with his understanding in some of the decision making on my part. Much of it wouldn't make sense to anyone but another follower of Christ. He was definitely the one for the job. He comes highly recommended!

Easement
Michael Fleishman helped secure an easement from a neighbor for the use of the road accessing my sister's property. My sister and I and the new owners are very glad to have this legally settled. Michael was very helpful and easy to work with.

Great Christian attorney
Was referred to Michael by a man who led a bible study with him. I first appreciated Michael's precise and prompt communication via email, and now I appreciate his thorough and accurate work in litigating tax liens. Looking forward to using more of his help.

Responsive Attorney
I had the pleasure of dealing with Attorney Fleishman on a real estate matter in Arizona. As a non-resident of Arizona myself, Attorney Fleishman diligently handled my matter involving tax liens on a property and subsequently assisted me with changing the title. He was extremely responsive and knowledgeable.

Satisfied client
We needed a lawyer to handle a business foreclosure and Fleishman Law was recommended. He handled everything for us. We were in constant communication with him. The fact that we were both in different cities did not matter. He always kept in touch and quickly answered all questions.
