Michael was extremely helpful to me in navigating my severance package when I was terminated from my employment. I was overwhelmed with many feelings over the termination. Michael was instrumental assisting me both professionally and personally. Professionally he clearly explained that I had the right to negotiate with my former employer the severance package they gave me. He also shared with me his personal experience with a similar issue that happened to him. He negotiated all the negative verbiage out of the severance document that would have hindered me in future employment in my profession. he also was successful in extending my severance package for an additional 4 weeks. Being able to talk to someone who had a similar experience was by far the most helpful. Michael helped me get my head on straight and got me going in the right direction in seeking future employment. Thanks Again to a great Lawyer and a great person.

Mr Halberstam was always available to answer questions regarding a litigation in which he was hired to represent me. He was willing to listen and to develop strong legal and ethical arguments that consistently supported the civil litigation. Finally, he prepared very strong arguments during negotiations with defense counsel, which went a long way in successfully resolving the litigation in which he represented me.

Michaels profound knowledge of employment and labor law and also corporate law was impressive. He is a good listener and extremely thorough. He was able to accurately decipher the cause and effect of my case after reviewing much information and many documents. He worked long and late hard hours to comprise multiple and very accurate written statements to defend me. He had a quick response time, was always pleasant and approachable. I am so grateful for his representation of my case and would highly recommend his services to anyone.
