Lawyers.com Review
“Having worked with Michael on various legal matters over our lengthy careers, it is truly an honor to recommend one of the most prominent Criminal Defense Attorneys in all of Upstate New York. Additionally, Michael and I have worked on many Criminal cases while he was in private practice as co- counsel in Auburn New York. Michael subsequently was hired as an Assistant District Attorney in Syracuse New York for the Onondaga District Attorney's Office. Michael quickly rose through the ranks and was promoted to lead the Homicide Division as a Chief Prosecutor in Onondaga County for many years. He subsequently opened his own private practice of Law in Syracuse New York. Michael is the best of the best at what he does and I would highly recommend him without reservation to anyone in need of an Attorney regarding any high level Criminal matter.”
