My family and I hired Michael to handle a claim against a large investment firm that we felt took advantage of our elderly father. We were successful in recovering what we considered a very fair settlement against that institution. We were very satisfied with Michael Valenti's help in resolving this matter. I also used him in a similar case with the same results . Thank you, Michael.

Mike is a consummate professional who believed in my case and me. He represented me with enthusiasm, confidence and perseverance. His knowledge, tenacity and communication and negotiating skills led to winning a very tough case on my behalf. With his clients, Mike is a very warm and down-to-earth person who explains complicated legal matters in way a layperson like me can easily understand. I unreservedly recommend him.
