Michael has your back!
I have had many occasions to utilize legal services, both personally and professionally. Of the many atttorneys I have employed, Michael Padway stands out as having been both effective and supportive throughout the legal process. Even before I retained him, he freely offered helpful advice. When the moment came, Michael stepped up and acieved results in my accident case double what I had been told I could reasonably expect from my case. His advocacy combines hardnosed dilligence and creativity. In my case, his representation was both principled and effective, efficiently obtaining for me a desirable outcome. In a legal battle, you will want Michael on your side!
