The best of the best.

Taking into account that this was the first time I have ever needed legal counsel I consider myself blessed to have found Michael Strauss. I contacted his firm with my employment issue and he called me back the same day. Michael answered all my questions honestly and legally represented me in a super...ior manner every step of the way. I have to say that his ability to interact with the client in a productive and stress free manner made the whole process very easy in my opinion. The most impressive part of my experience was Michael's ability to stay 4 steps ahead of opposing counsel from start to finish.

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.
