Michael has been an excellent partner through the early stages of starting my business. He laid out my options very clearly and was always available to help me navigate the early stages of incorporating and then growing the company. I will continue to work with Michael and have recommended him wholeheartedly to friends and colleagues.

I contacted Michael because I needed a trademark for my new tech company. I have lawyers in my family but wanted someone more objective. A college friend referred me to Michael and after we spoke I felt confident that he could handle the trademark. I also hired him to incorporate my new business and draft our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. I considered using "one-stop-shop" services but I have come to realize that these items must be done by a professional. Mike answers my questions very quickly and is transparent. You know what you'll get and for what price. He thinks about the "big picture" and mentions potential issues that may arise in the future.

Michael's contract work for my new company has been outstanding. He wrote exceptionally solid contracts for everyone hired to work on my company's films: from the director to the actors to the videographer and post production editor. Moreover, Michael provided exceptional value for me by reviewing contracts given to me by fiscal sponsors, taking the time to ensure that I understood every detail I was signing onto and making strategic and insightful recommendations that strengthened the contract I was signing. I recommend Michael highly as an entertainment industry attorney.

Michael is an exceptional attorney who I had the opportunity to work with over several months. He has an incredible knowledge of the law and makes each one of his clients a priority. As an attorney, I regularly pick his mind for advice.
