A trusted advisor for our municipal bond issuance

Our municipality engaged Michael Moriarty to guide us through a complex general obligation bond issuance. With over four decades of experience, his deep knowledge of public finance law was immediately evident. He didn't just process paperwork; he provided strategic counsel on structuring the deal to achieve the most favorable terms for our taxpayers. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Public Finance Law is well-deserved, reflecting the caliber of expertise he brings to the table. The entire process, from drafting the official statement to closing, was handled with meticulous precision. Our one minor critique would be that during peak periods, response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to a full business day. However, this was a small trade-off for the exceptional quality of his work and the peace of mind he provided. We felt confident having a veteran of New York's legal and financial landscape, from a firm with the stature of Windels Marx, in our corner. He is a true professional who earns your trust.
