After having dealt with a number of lawyers with this particular issue, I can say that Michael Binetti is by far the best lawyer that I have dealt with. He was always respectful to not incur extra costs whenever possible and was always quick to respond. His understanding of the law and how to navigate difficult situations is second to none.

Michael is a very thorough and competent professional who always had my company’s best interest in mind. I was always informed in every step of our litigation and I always felt that my company was in very good/capable hands. He never missed a scheduled meeting and he always took my calls. What I especially liked about Michael was his ability to remain calm in crisis situations. His honest and straightforward approach was always appreciated and valued. Without hesitation I would recommend him.
