Michael D Saphier

I own an independent consulting business in biotech and personalised medicine and needed a lawyer to review contracts I received from various organisations interested to hire me as a consultant. A friend recommended Michael Saphier and I have been working with him since. Michael is very smart, unde...rstood immediately my needs, made excellent suggestions and negotiated much better terms for me than the initial contracts provided. He is discreet, unobtrusive, timely and to the point. He immediately grasps the essence and provides solutions that fit the client. I have used several attorneys throughout my career, and was sometimes more satisfied than other times. This time, I feel very lucky to have found Michael Saphier and plan to use him for all my business needs.

I hired Mr. Saphier to negotiate medical practice contracts for several practices. What seemed like it should be a relatively short and straightforward process, ended up taking over a year and I sure am glad that I had him to look out for my best interests. He kept the process going when it was st...alled and caught multiple oversights and conflicts of interest. I am truly grateful that I found such a lawyer and will continue to use him in the future. And the bonus is that he is a really lovely person.

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.

I had previously signed a retainer with Mr Saphier to set up a complex medical business involving multiple parties. Several intricate legal issues were on the table including numerous State and Federal regulations. Mr Saphier created a functional business entity which was most satisfactory to all pa...rties involved. His work was rapid, reasonable and appropriate in cost, and served our needs extremely well. He was available for follow up consult and returns all phone calls and emails promptly. Most recently I consulted Mr Saphier for a medical staff issue. I provided him with the documentation involved and within 24 hours he provided me with a plan of action that was most satisfactory. I have been very pleased with Mr Saphier and his work. I have great confidence in both his knowledge and experience as well as his work habits and ethics and I would be happy to retain Mr Saphier again.

I initially hired Mr. Saphier to look at the existing contract for the medical practice to which I was signed. Since then, he has set up my S-corp, and reviewed all documents required to start my own medical practice. In my experience, Mr. Saphier is everything I was looking for in a lawyer. Know...ledgeable, experienced, timely, direct, and truly an advocate for my position in all situations. He is very clear about his area of expertise, and is earnest about when a question is outside his scope of practice. He has worked with me personally to assist in a time of great uncertainty, and I am very grateful to him.
