An Attorney's Attorney

Michael Kogan is an attorney's attorney. As a Real Estate and Tax attorney for over 30 years I can appreciate exceptional knowledge and responsiveness. Michael has the ability to bring the theoretical into the realm of the practical. This ability gives his clients a clear path to achieve their g...oals.

Payment at last...

Let me be as honest as possible, a former client owed us for services rendered in excess of $100,000 which we were unable to collect; then the client decided to claim bankruptcy which put us in a difficult situation. That's where Michael Kogan came in...because of his diligence (month in / month ou...t) in dealing with the bankruptcy courts, we were paid! If you are looking for an excellent attorney that gets results - give Michael Kogan a call. I wish I could give him more than 5-stars!

Chinese Drywall

Michael argued in front of the bankruptcy court in Delaware regarding the bankruptcy of certain Chinese Drywall defendants. He was well prepared and his knowledge of the law was obviously superior to the numerous other attorneys in the room representing various parties. The judge gave great deferen...ce to the difficult position Michal was arguing since it was presented in such a persuasive argument. I would highly recommend retaining Michael in any bankruptcy matter.

Dave's Kogan Opinion

Michael was my attorney in a Corporate bankruptcy in 2009-2010. His performance was outstanding and very personable. I recommend him without reservation. He was recommended by business associate who's experience was similar to mine and praised him. Michael lived up to his reputation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
