Excellent attorney - highly recommended

Michael took time and review our family case very my deeply and found all idea how to defend us against the non-honest realtor agents. His gratitude for exceptional listening, reviewing with care and dedication in helping my family to close the case on my home issue. His strategic guidance, sharp leg...al insight, and tireless attention to detail gave me the confidence and peace of mind I needed throughout the entire process, giving much more confident in dealing with this issue. This was a significant milestone to learn me, and I could not have achieved it without Michael expertise. Call scheduled for 30min and he went above and beyond more than 50min at every step, and it truly made all the difference for my case. Thank you for being such a trusted partner in this journey. Highly recommend Michael to anyone in need of top-tier legal support.

Incorrect Legal Advice (IRS Collections)

I spoke with Michael last year regarding a CP2000 notice I had received. While he was professional and asked what seemed like the right questions, his ultimate advice was for me to visit a local IRS office. A year later, I engaged a different firm that clearly explained the proper process for hand...ling underpayment issues with the IRS. It turns out the entire process is automated, and the suggestion to visit the IRS in person was not only unnecessary but ultimately incorrect. As a result, my case was delayed significantly, and I’ve now incurred over $20,000 in interest. Although Michael was courteous and professional, his guidance reflected a lack of understanding of how the IRS actually operates. Proceed with caution.

Your review cannot be trusted. You left out many critical facts. First, your case involved multiple tax issues dating back several years. It did not simply involve underpayment. At the beginning of our call, I said to you in no uncertain terms what we can do and what we cannot do for your case and that you should seek another attorney for a second opinion and for the other issues that are outside the scope of our expertise. You said you understand. I proceeded to provide you with our analysis of the issues that we can handle and strategies and options to resolve those issues. I suggested three options and told you about the risks associated with each option. I also said that you ultimately will have to choose one of those options yourself and that I cannot choose one for you. You again said you understand. Apparently, you took a risk and chose the wrong option, and now you blame us for your own risk-taking. Second, you compounded your problem by not following my guidance last year to seek another attorney to help you further. Instead, you waited a year later to do what I suggested to you a year earlier, and again now you blame us for a delay caused by your own doing (or lack thereof). Just to refresh your memory, your tax problems were caused by what you did, what you did not do, and/or the circumstances in your life long before you ever contacted our law firm. Your tax issues were not caused by us in any way. We understand that tax issues can be stressful and that IRS procedures and processes are frustrating. However, that does not give you the right to use us as a punching bag. That is not only mean-spirited but also puerile. It appears your review is a reflection of your character.

Tenant Law Advice

Michael was very thorough and helpful in making sure I understood my rights regarding the tenant laws I was inquiring about. I would recommend him to anyone looking for clarification on their rental/real estate issues.

Legal Advise

I reached out to Michael for a legal consultancy. Michael was very attentive and replied very quickly on my email. Within a couple of days Michael has already done his research for my case and dedicated 30 minutes phone call to give me a comprehensive legal advise for my situation. This was my fir...st interaction with Michael and I would totally recommend his firm for any legal needs. I would absolutely be coming back to his firm for any legal work that I might need.
