Excellent and Reliable Lawyer

I first hired Michael to help review an employment contract when I was looking for a job in a new medical practice. He was very comprehensive and timely in his review, and he had a lot of useful advice. He also helped me later with other business/legal matters in joining the practice. Again, he wa...s very knowledgeable and was a reliable resource during this process.

PERFECT FIT FOR MEDICAL NEGOTIATION

Michael was a perfect fit for my salary negotiation against a major university medical center. In brief: he was able to efficiently run up the steep learning curve of the absurdly arcane university compensation and bonus structure for physicians and to then use clean mathematical logical to prove why... the salary they offered was at least 20% too low. Not only did I win my demands, but I was actually thanked by everyone involved for my clarity. Goes without saying, but my 20% gain in pay recoups Michael's cost several times over!

Great Job, Well done

Mr Saphier revised a long and difficult employment contract sent to me by a new medical group I will be working with. His suggestions were solid and readily adopted by my new employer. Thank you Mr Saphier.
