Sorely disappointed

Hired Mr. Taibi based on the information received from Norma, his office manager. We NEVER received a strategy session with Mr. Taibi. NO prep for family law mediation in a contentious custody case. Heard from the office only after mediation went sideways. Hired the firm in June and just received our... first "bill" in December after our 5th email request and supplying our own estimation of services. 10K+ for "long conferences with paralegal" about our case, for which we did a substitution of attorney due to negligence. We paid less to the 2nd attorney who did much much more than Mr. Taibi. Sorely, sorely disappointed. Mr. Taibi and his staff would do well to remember that they have people's LIVES in their hands. State bar complaint will be forthcoming.

Smooth criminal

My guy here is smooth. I was terrified an all odds against me. But Michael here kept his cool an torn these guys apart. Highly recommend.

Great personal injury lawyer!!

I got the best phone consult from Michael Taibi with such care! Other attorneys are arrogant or quick to get off the phone. He really explained everything thoroughly without getting annoyed. He explained the law thoroughly and candidly. He's a straight shooter. I'm so thankful that I came across his... number. His advice was priceless to my recent case with another attorney I unfortunately hired.

Avvo Rating

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.
