Michael J. Maloney--Testimonials

I first met Michael more than 20 years ago when he was a development partner with a national real estate developer.  I was impressed enough with his skill at the development game that I offered to partner with him in the future.  Since then, it has been my pleasure to partner up with Mr. Maloney on three different occasions.  Two of those occasions involved industrial warehouse development deals that were quite successful.  The third was a vacant land investment that proved to be very profitable.  He is knowledgeable, wise in his investment decisions, trustworthy, and very detail oriented.  I consider his knowledge of the law concerning real estate to be thorough and tempered by his real estate development experience. You would be well advised to invest with him if given the opportunity, or if looking for a good real estate lawyer, you would be hard-pressed to find someone with more real-life experience on how the law works.  I consider it a privilege to have been in business with him.

I met Michael while employed as an executive with a national moving and storage company.  About one year after being transferred to Florida, my company out grew its Orlando, Florida warehouse facility, and Michael offered to lease space, to us, in a new distribution and storage building that he was developing in a well-located Central Florida industrial park.  Michael was a well-known Central Florida business leader who attended Chamber of Commerce and other business networking events which resulted in our paths crossing over the years.  He was a go getter, honest and most of all took the approach “what do you need and how can I help” in his business relationships. About ten years after meeting Michael, and leasing space in his new Orlando distribution and storage building, I had the opportunity to become his partner in the development and construction of a state of the art warehouse distribution facility in Jacksonville, Florida.  Michael managed 100% of the building’s development and construction, negotiated and prepared substantially all required legal documents, and secured the entitlements, permits and financing necessary for the project’s construction.  This was the largest commercial transaction for me at that time.  Not only was the project completed on time, it was flawless.  Michael also leased the entire building to a national credit tenant prior to the start of construction, and about four years later, he sourced a qualified buyer who ultimately purchased it.  The sale of that building netted me a substantial return on investment. In my forty years of business experience, Michael Maloney is one of the finest individuals that I’ve had the opportunity to work with as a businessman, partner and attorney.
