If anyone is in need of an attorney, Michael Kofsky is an excellent, professional & fair attorney. He recently won 2 cases for us against corrupt contractors. He is a West Islip dad & resident with great business professional experience at a Manhattan law firm, years of knowledge & a wonderful cordial family man. Thank you. We appreciate all you did for our family. Wonderful

Buyer Beware: Run, Don't Walk, Away From MICHAEL A. KOFSKY! If you're looking for a real estate lawyer who will make your home buying experience a stress-filled nightmare, then MICHAEL A. KOFSKY is your man! Here's why: 1. Communication Skills of a Brick Wall: Forget clear explanations. Asking questions was met with patronizing pronouncements of "you wouldn't understand." Apparently, legal jargon is only for the chosen few, and the rest of us are mere simpletons. 2. Mr. Congeniality? Not Quite: This lawyer's bedside manner is about as warm as the Arctic tundra. Prepare for condescension, arrogance, and a constant feeling of being talked down to. Negotiations turned into a war zone thanks to his aggressive and downright rude behavior towards everyone involved, including the seller's lawyers. 3. Promises, Promises... Remember that refund he swore up and down you'd get if things fell through? Yeah, good luck collecting on that. A month later, my wallet remains lighter and my mailbox remains empty. 4. The Grand Abandonment: Just when things were coming to a head during contract signing, this so-called legal eagle threw in the towel with a dramatic "I can't do this!" and left me high and dry. Talk about unprofessional! There I was, stranded in the middle of a real estate transaction with no lawyer and a sinking feeling in my stomach. Let me reiterate: DO NOT USE MICHAEL KOFSKY!! His "expertise" comes at the cost of your sanity and potentially, your dream home. Find a lawyer who respects you, explains things clearly, and doesn't act like they're doing you a favor by taking your money. There are plenty of competent, professional real estate lawyers out there. This guy, however, is best avoided.

Met with Michael. Paid him in full. After 8 months of excuses, Bad Attitude and Blaming the probate court for being slow. I checked with the court Only to find out he did nothing at all but Lie about the progress. He Never filed anything!!! I don't know why, or for how long he was going to string me along. He never once called me about progress.. even a response to a text was rare. His incompetence cost me over $20,000 in expenses to maintain a house while waiting for probate court approval. Luckily I found an attorney that specializes in probate, had everything submitted in less than a week. All was approved by court in less that 2 weeks.. The only thing that Michael did right was give me a refund. Maybe if he reads this review he might actually respond..

I would like to share my personal experience with Michael. From my very first interaction with Michael he has shown professionalism, knowledge and true caring for what I was trying to accomplish. His attention to detail and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way made the legal process much easier to comprehend. Michael always went above and beyond to make himself available for questions or concerns I matter how small they may have been. I highly recommend Michael if you are in search of a great attorney!

An accomplished attorney who pays attention to details.

Michael is an excellent attorney who helped me achieve my goals by actually listening to what I wanted. In addition, he was very detailed oriented and readily available to answer any of my questions. Lastly, his rates were very reasonable with no hidden costs.

Excellent lawyer.

Michael has counseled us on creating our business set up. He was instrumental in forecasting and protecting instances of potential problems that we never would have thought of. Michael is a thorough lawyer and leaves no stones unturned.

Michael was the best. I am a bilingual SLP and Michael helped me form my PLLC in order to open up my private practice. Michael was very helpful throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer questions and always kept me updated. He is really great, that is why my friend is also in the process of forming a PLLC with his help. So please don’t hesitate to reach out to him. Thank you so much Michael.

Michael was referred by a legal professional we were working with. He was patient, informative, and very thorough. He hit the goals we were after and guided in some areas we were not aware of. We will continue going to Michael for a our business legal needs.
