Fitzmaurice has terrible attitude, without concern for details other than hourly billing. After my consult, I discovered Fitzmaurice has a poor reputation in the WP area and you'd be wise to consider another attorney.

Attorney Fitzmaurice did a fine job representing me in a misdemeanor Contempt of Court case that had to do with the violation of a court ordered restraining order.
Mr. Fitzmaurice helped me and my family by ultimately getting the case dismissed and sealed.
After reading Avvo's community guidelines, I could not ascertain whether or not I am permitted to review an attorney who has provided pro bono work.
In the interest of transparency, Mr Fitzmaurice worked my case pro bono, however, I would like to infer that if he did such a great job for me for no fee then he would more than likely be even more effective when paid.

Michelle doesn’t practice what she preaches. She doesn’t know how to represent boards, she discriminated against me, she lied to me and breached her fiduciary duty in an effort to secure a bigger pay day for herself. She is a second rate hack and be prepared if you hire her to file a grievance. It’s also Jackson Lewis provided no oversight. Totally avoid at all costs, too unprofessional to ever spend money on.

As the Sr. VP/HR, I worked with Michelle Phillips for over 10 years. She did all the non-harassment trainings for all levels of staff and for multiple office locations. She was engaging and staff all gave her her 2 hour mandatory sessions 5 star reviews. As a result we did not have harassment issues within our 200+ very diverse staff. She also provided excellent advice on related employment questions.

Michelle Phillips had the experience to quickly ascertain the dynamics of our case and the deep knowledge of the law to provide both initial guidance and to prepare our legal strategy.
She was able to navigate the twists and turns of the case, quickly and effectively addressing all issues and arguments.
If it had not been for Ms. Phillips counsel I believe that our case would have taken much longer to resolve with higher risk, greater expense and potentially negative business consequences.
I'm confident in her mastery of the law, ability to apply her experience and knowledge in an efficient and effective manner, and by her responsiveness and relentless efforts to resolve our dispute.
We continue to work with Ms. Phillips and count on her strong counsel to address any issues we may face in the future.

As a commercial real estate CFO for the past 30 years, i have worked with many attorneys on a wide array of matters. These attorneys ranged from Park Avenue $1000/hr firms to local counsel in small towns. Peter is absolutely one of the best regardless of the firm size or stature. Above everything, he is practical and efficient in his representation of his clients. He vigorously and expertly defends his client, and does so with the overriding objective of achieving the client's best result even if it is at the expense of revenue opportunities for his firm. He never lets ego interfere in his dealings with opposing counsel, and he is extremely conscious how his clients hard earned money is spent on costly litigation. He does not delegate in areas that require partner attention - when you hire Peter you are getting a seasoned and principled attorney who is ethically responsible while aggressively protecting his clients interests. I would recommend Peter to associates, friends and family without hesitation. If you have a partnership or real estate litigation matter in the NY market, you are in good hands with Peter Schillinger and Lori Finsterwald.

Peter represented my Condominium in lawsuits filed against several professionals and vendors involved in a failed construction project. The lawsuits were settled for a high six-figure reward, which far exceeded my Condominium's expectations... ALL THANKS TO PETER'S EXPERTISE. Peter is without a doubt extremely knowledgeable and personable. He often assisted the Board at Owners Meetings fielding questions from owners keeping them as informed as the Board.

Peter helped me resolve a complex partnership litigation case in 2012-2013. I was dealing with unresponsive international parties, and Peter's expertise helped us fast-track proceedings and obtain results that far exceeded my expectations. A case I had considered writing off as a lost cause became a winner for me and my family. Peter's fees were very reasonable and he was very easy to work with. He struck me incredibly knowledgable and extremely approachable -- a rare (and valuable) combination in the legal profession.

Was fraudulently sued and Rob represented my interest in the case. He listened to what I had to say and advised against the settlements the other side offered. We won and I sleep better these days.
