High praise for an excellent attorney

My firm and I retained Michael to handle a series of complex negotiations with domestic and international clients. He exercised impeccable skill and judgment in handling the negotiations over a period of several months. During the process he was diligent, timely and thorough while providing timely,... insightful business advice as well as completing the detailed legal documentation that lead to a timely closing of the transaction.

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.
