Michael W. Giacomo

Expert guidance through a complex business dispute

Our mid-sized manufacturing company faced a significant breach of contract and fiduciary duty claim from a former partner, which threatened to derail our operations. We engaged Michael Giacomo at Harris Beach Murtha based on his recognition in commercial litigation. Michael's strategic approach was immediately evident. He didn't just react to the lawsuit; he conducted a thorough forensic analysis of our partnership agreements and communications, building a powerful counterclaim that changed the entire dynamic of the case. His deep understanding of New York commercial law, honed through his years of practice in White Plains and recognition by Best Lawyers, was invaluable during settlement negotiations. He secured a resolution that protected our business and allowed us to move forward. The only slight drawback was that during the most intense phases, communication from his direct line could sometimes take a day, though his paralegal was always responsive. Overall, Michael is a formidable and insightful advocate for any business facing litigation.
