A formidable advocate in a complex professional malpractice case

Our firm retained Michael Lavoie at Adler Cohen to defend us in a high-stakes professional malpractice lawsuit. From the outset, his deep knowledge of this nuanced area of law was evident. He didn't just understand the legal statutes; he grasped the intricate professional standards at the core of the allegations, which was critical for our defense strategy. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Professional Malpractice Law was well-earned and provided us with significant confidence. Michael is a strategic thinker who prepared meticulously, and his calm, authoritative presence during depositions was invaluable. He successfully negotiated a dismissal before trial, saving us immense time and expense. The one area where we occasionally wished for more was in proactive communication; sometimes there were brief lags between our inquiries and updates, though the information provided was always thorough. Overall, Michael R. Lavoie is a sharp, highly capable attorney I would recommend to any business facing similar professional liability challenges.
