Michael Rivkin is a sincere and highly skilled lawyer whom I was fortunate to find at a very low point in my life last year. I could not have asked for a more effective or compassionate legal advocate to defend me in my ordeal. From the start Michael treated me like a partner: I always felt like we were in it together, but I had a very smart lawyer doing all of the fighting. It was the greatest feeling. He kept me informed, listened to my concerns, and answered my calls and emails promptly. My adversary was quite nasty, and Michael was unflappable and unimpressed by his tactics. He was awesome. Some of the things I appreciated most about Michael: he always gave straight, thorough answers to my legal questions, and he treated me with compassion and respect, always. This is a sincere, conscientious man who is also a skillful lawyer. I was very fortunate that he fought for me, and I cannot recommend him more highly.

Working with Attorney Micheal Rivkin was one of my best decisions I ever made , he woule always keep me updated on what was going on and what he thought we should do next. I was asked how I felt and how I wanted to move forward. Everytime he was going to call me he did, when I had to call his office he would always answer the call himself and greet me by name. Micheal never made me feel like a just another client. I thought this case would go on for years but we closed it with check in hand in under 2 years and got an amazing settlement. Micheal wish you all the best. Best Attorney Ever !!
