His expertise and experience really shine through in the quality of his work, and I found his services to be very affordable, especially considering the high caliber of what he delivered. After completing the agreements, I needed a significant addition based on some feedback I received a day or two later. Michael was incredibly accommodating and made the update without seeking additional payment. As someone starting a business, where expenses often outweigh revenue in the beginning, this was truly appreciated. Thank you, Michael!

Mr. Weberman was patient answering our questions (as this has been our first legal matter in 17 years in business). Through Mr. Weberman, we were able to win the case against our former client as well as have our service agreement updated. I hope I don't need legal services ever again in the future. If I do, I will most definitely hire Mr. Weberman again."
