As a colleague who has called upon Mr. Talassazan for his expertise in various areas of law, I can personally attest to his deep knowledge, sharp instincts and years of experience that serve to provide unparalleled representation to his clients. Highly recommended.

I was looking for an attorney to prove my innocence and I found the right person for the job. He listened to my situation and didn't try to force me to take a plea just to make it go away. Today my case was dismissed and it was all thanks to Michael!

Michael got me out of a LOT of trouble not once,not twice, but three separate times. Saved my driving license and got it dropped down to minor driving infraction instead of a class a misdemeanor. According to the first lawyer I spoke with I was going to lose my license for one year. I hired Michael and my license was reinstated as soon as we left court. HIGHLY RECCOMEND

Mr. Talassazan represented a friend and myself for a minor controlled substance charge. Both of our charges were dismissed with ACD's. Mr. Talassazan was fantastic from start to finish. We consulted with a handful of lawyers before picking Michael and we were not disappointed. When we had questions or concerns he was far more responsive and sympathetic. Of the 8 different lawyers we spoke to, he was the only one that quoted us a fair price, and told us how it was without resort to bullying and scare tactics. -r

Michael was from the day he gave us our initial consultation. The case my wife and I were pursuing seemed to need to be litigated in court, and Mr. Talassazan showed up himself, and on time (actually a bit early to confer with me), to EVERY hearing and court conference. I honestly had expected him to send an associate or something to some of the more trivial court dates, but no, he came himself. After going back and fourth with the other lawyer, to my surprise Mr. Talassazan received an offer to settle for all damages and then some. I don't know how he did it.... but I'm thankful he did. Thank you Mike.

Michael reached out to me once I inquired about speaking with a lawyer and at that time I was stressed out not knowing how I was going to be able to beat my case, after speaking with him I decided to hire Michael and he did his best to make sure that he stayed on top of me to get him all the information that he needed to present a strong case in my defense after six to seven months of traveling from Georgia to New York having to pay for flights every month, having to sacrifice bills and almost costing me my job, Michael was able to get my case dismissed with nothing but a fine and the agreement to surrender my handgun. against all the odds that was face against me, everybody telling me that I will not win or beat a gun case in New York City. Michael was able to do the impossible and get me off clean with out anything on my record, i owe him everything, he is the best thank you.

Mr Talassazan has been prompt to return calls and messages. He has listened patiently to our concerns and clearly answered our questions. He has helped us understand and advised us on the legal process for the matter at hand. Mr. Talassazan has made court appearances with us and will be with us for any future court appearances. His fees seem reasonable to us for our issue. We appreciate his concern and help and are pleased to recommend him. We anticipate a positive resolution to the issue we face soon.

I was very satsfied with the representation provided by Mr. Talassazan. He was on time to court, unlike other attorneys I have hired in the past and communicated well with me via email, text messages, and phone calls throughout the progression of my case. I believe his prices were reasonable and he handled my case in a timely matter and acted professionally, while making me feel confident in his ability to get favorable results.
