The Law Offices of Michael J.S. Pontone, Esq., P.C. - New York, NY

Nika M.

We were in a difficult situation, and finding a lawyer willing to take on our unorthodox case proved challenging. After working with two other lawyers with no success, we thankfully found Michael Pontone.

From the moment we met Michael, his dedication to our case was evident. He worked tirelessly to secure a favorable outcome. Michael's extensive knowledge, direct approach, and genuine kindness made us feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. His fees were reasonable, and he was very transparent about costs and billable hours, so we always had insight into expenses.

Michael Pontone is truly a standout lawyer. If you find yourself in need of legal assistance, especially in challenging situations, Michael is the person you want on your side. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Michael handled a case for me that ended up getting spread out over several years. He stayed on top of things, was exceedingly respectful and careful with billable hours, and always communicated in advance what he was going to need to do in advance. This case easily could have bankrupted me and it didn't solely because of his integrity and care. He ultimately shepherded this case to a very satisfactory finish. I am convinced that this situation would have turned out terribly had his name not been recommended to me.

In summary: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
While it’s rare to find a honest and exceptional attorney, Michael is proof that all heroes don’t wear capes! Michael was able to expedite my LT case process from start to completion in less than 48 hours! He provided consultancy, appearance, settlement resolution, and reference letter. Not to mention answering the various questions I had throughout the process. This case required representation at VERY short notice. In addition, Michael is extremely knowledgeable and was able to assist a colleague of mine (with free consultation) in an area of legal expertise that isn’t specific to his firm. Which pointed her in the right legal direction for remedy as well! Michael is an expert and excellent attorney to say the least. His fee is more than reasonable (relieving the affordability concern) fairly priced. From my perspective, as a client, this experience has been best in class for money in value!!!

Michael took my call and gave me the most clear and useful consultation on a somewhat complicated case. I had spoken to a few other lawyers trying to determine who to use, and he left me feeling supported and confident. I was then able to resolve the issue with negotiation, which was in part due to his great advice. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Briana Z.

Absolutely one of the best law offices I’ve worked with. The office staff was incredibly responsive and professional. Micheal was highly knowledgeable and able to resolve our real estate issues quickly. I was so pleased with his level of competence and how he was a compassionate advocate for our case. HIGHLY recommended if you need legal support!

I hired mr Pontone in 2018, and long story short I had to commence a Legal Malpractice claim against him , as he failed to protect my rights . He is not to be trusted , and is the sort of attorney who will take your money and so the absolute least amount of work . Will post screenshots of court # and documents (which are public anyway ) so you can judge for yourself whether this man is someone you wish to entrust with your life .

I submitted a question via the form on the website. Michael called me the next day and explained my options, his rates, and his opinion on which route would be best for my situation. I really enjoyed talking to Michael over the phone and would not hesitate to hire him to assist in issues with leases, eviction etc.
