Review Michael Hsueh

Excellent Service and Very Professional

Posted by

My case was slightly complicated and Michael made the whole process very easy and he was always very professional when speaking with me. He definitely put me at ease about my case and made me feel like he cared about the outcome and my well-being. Michael is a great attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an employment lawyer to handle their case. I have nothing but good things to say about Michael and the way he goes about handling his cases. Highly recommended!

Professional, Empathetic Attorney, Yet a Persuasive & Effective Communicator!

Posted by

I was facing a very challenging legal situation. My attorney handled my case with extreme professionalism and a calm demeanor, and even during the roughest of times, helped me pull through seamlessly. Michael made this otherwise difficult process seem effortless. I feel I not only received expert legal service but also a competent attorney that demonstrated resilience throughout. I felt that Michael was not only incredibly skilled in keeping the communication lines open and the legal process on task but he also had the sense of compassion to understand my needs. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a great attorney that actually cared about my case and supporting me. Thank you Michael!

I've worked alongside Mike for the past several years. He is unparalleled in integrity and thoughtfulness. Any client would be lucky to have Mike on his side.

Steve Ryder, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 11, 2015

Michael possesses two skills that are currently in rare supply in our profession: 1) smarts and 2) the ability to speak his mind. If you're looking for an effective advocate, be sure to hire Mike! I endorse this lawyer.

Rodman Streicher, Litigation Attorney on Aug 11, 2015

I attended law school at Cornell Law with Michael. Michael is a highly-intelligent, very capable attorney, with real determination to do right. I endorse this lawyer.

Edward Yun, Wrongful termination Attorney on Jul 20, 2015
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

I've worked with Michael Hsueh extensively and confidently endorse him for the handling of a wide array of employment matters. He is very effective, hard-working and will go the extra mile for his clients to ensure success.

Andrew Levine, Employment and labor Attorney on Jul 9, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Michael and I were law school colleagues -- we had the opportunity of sitting at the opposite side of counsel table during a mock trial. It's one of the few times in my law career that I can legitimately say that he wiped the floor with me. This man is a zealous and extremely effective advocate. You will want him on your team.

Pei Kuo, Corporate and incorporation Attorney on Jul 8, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I highly, highly endorse Michael. He's just someone you want on your side, and it goes far beyond the legal aspect. He understands all factors involved in a case, and is extremely empathetic. This means that you will get the best legal representation possible, along with a positive experience with someone that truly cares. Lots of lawyers are good at practicing law, and lots are good at dealing with people. Most aren't good at both, but Michael certainly is.

Christine Haw, Lemon law Attorney on Jul 7, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker

Michael is an excellent attorney and knowledgeable beyond his years of experience. He truly cares about his clients and works efficiently and aggressively on their behalf. I wholeheartedly endorse him as an attorney.
