I Highly Recommend Michael Baltaxe

Michael Baltaxe and his team were clear with me while explaining their approach of handling my case. I appreciated such clarity as I was unfamiliar with attorney lingo. Mr. Baltaxe is efficient and this is absolutely necessary when going up against a large organization and winning. I am most grateful... for the hard work and dedication put forth by Michael Baltaxe.

Wow experience fit for a (King)

My attorneys were the greatest. I've never felt better about a decision in my life than opting to have Mr. Baltaxe and Mr. Cohen represent me they kept me informed and worked diligently to conclude my case they were always professional and I felt totally secure with giving them total control I know t...hey had my best interest at heart. They were truly amazing and I would recommend them to anyone hands down.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
