Excellent Real Esate Lawyer and Problem Solver
Michael is a problem solver. He gets the work done without making more of it than is necessary. Michael brings common sense solutions to matters that initially seem complicated. He knows real estate transactions as good as anyone I have previously dealt with and he is also a very good negotiator.

"Mike and I have worked together on countless commercial real-estate transactions from simple leases to very complex structured financing to assemblage of large commercial properties and I have always thanked my lucky stars he was on each transaction. His knowledge is just incredible but even more important are his negotiating skills. He fully endorses the concept of taking the adversary to its boundaries before concluding negotiations and his success rate at reaching favorable agreements is extremely high. Did I mention that he's also a CPA? He knows more about finance(ing) than I can ever hope to know. You will be well served in consulting Mike on any business or real estate transaction."
"I have known Michael for over 15 years and have worked closely with him on several coomplex matters. Michael distinguishes himself from his peers iin several ways. First he is both a lawyer and a CPA. He is very hands on and is a true fighter, relentlessly commited to achieving a positive outcome for his clients. Michael is no nonsense in his approach and is a creative problem solver who constantly thinks outside the box. He has a deep knowledge of the facts and law related to his client's problems. Michael is conscientious with respect to his client's budget, is pragmatic and above all else, is a highly ethical professional."
"I have worked with Michael on multiple matters relating to complex real estate and partnership disputes. Michael has a tremendous knowledge of the law, and he reads and synthesizes large documents quickly and impressively. I have been witness to lucrative results for his clients that were achieved as a result of Michael's business acumen and tenacity."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is a hardworking driven attorney that will see that your deal gets done. I have also seen Mike negotiate and he is hard as nails. If you want a lawyer with a wide breath of experience, toughness and the ability obtain your goal, Michael is the one."
"Michael is an excellent attorney with two rare assets: a true understanding of business and tax and great practicality and common sense. He is the kind of lawyer that will get deals done, not make them more difficult."
