Michael Saved the Day! Attorney Feinstein literally saved me from losing a large $$$ deposit amount that I paid on a new home. My first appointment with him was amazing. He was courteous and professional. He listened to my problem and quickly went to the computer and began to find information related to it and started the first steps in solving it. I was impressed with his knowledge of using computers and of Real Estate Contracts and Law. With his 32 years of successfully practicing Real Estate Law; the Company that threatened to keep my deposit and charge me a high daily amount if I did not close on the house decided to refund my deposit about an hour after Attorney Feinstein presented facts and flaws that were in the contract and the appraisal. Currently he is my broker and is negotiating the contract for my new home. Also the office is very beautiful and calming. It is conveniently located in beautiful downtown Ft. Lauderdale. I give my highest recommendation to Feinstein Law.

Mike was recommended to me by my loan officer last minute, on the day of the closing and the seller refuse to sign claiming a ‘mistake’ in the selling contract and wanted me to pay for it with the excuse that closing cost credit stated in contract was not intended for me.
I contacted him and explained I was in a jam and he stepped up to the plate for me, he speaks clearly and concisely, and makes sure you understand each phase of the case. If you’re a person not familiar with the real estate laws and you dont want to be taken advantage of, you need Michael L. Feinstein, attorney in your corner.

I want to take this opportunity to express my feelings about Michael Feinstein. Let me first start by saying, he has been my lawyer for the past 2 years and continues as such today.
He has proven his professionalism over and over again. He is one of the most conscientious, loyal and devoted attorneys I have ever dealt with. He is strong, determined, confident and always completes the tasks. He has been faced with many difficult situations in my case and has always resolved the issues at hand.
One of Michael’s qualities—-He is never too occupied to return a call or take the time to discuss a matter. I admire him for that, as most lawyers today are too busy or place you on the back burner for another day.
I’ve been dealing with lawyers all my life. I find that Michael is more than “a step above” in regards to the many lawyers that have crossed my path. Not only is he one of the most educated in his field, but he is a caring individual. To me that is a gift within itself. It’s not about the money, it’s in the results he can achieve. I feel he bases his honor and reputation on those words.
I am ever so grateful for his expertise and feel confident to recommend him as one of the outstanding Lawyers in the South Florida area.
Respectfully,
Innie Friese

Michael has helped my business with various issues like reviewing our contracts and employee paperwork for improvement, resolving vendor disputes and general business law issues. He is very responsive and is easy to work with. If you are needing a solid business attorney in the Fort Lauderdale area, Michael should be your first call.

MICHAEL IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!

I called Michael today because of a huge problem I am having with a landlord. Michael jumped right on the phone and took my call. I told him about my situation, and he immediately and instantaneously sent an email to the landlord with me on the phone!! He is a pleasure to work with. I felt he really cared about me and wanted to help because he knows I am being treated very unfairly. I would recommend Michael to anybody! An attorney who actually cares…WOW!

Michael Feinstein is an amazing attorney and really cares about the needs of other people. He puts his clients first, and help saved a transaction I was involved in that would have ended up in litigation if he had not jumped in. If you’re in need of a real estate attorney I highly recommend him! He is polite, very knowledge, and has a ton of experience in real estate law. Thank you Michael for your help! I Sincerely appreciate it!

I have known and had the pleasure of working with Michael for approximately 6 years on numerous complicated contract negotiations, new business ventures requiring technical expertise and business acumen, and real-estate negotiations involving technical legal advice on both purchase and sales. His legal expertise is superb and equally important is his ability to understand the business fundamentals concerning numerous business activities. He is a very smart businessman coupled with being an excellent lawyer.

Jack Staley | View Review

I called Mr Feinstein to help with the purchase of a property. Although he was not able to review the contract because the property is not close to him he was very helpful in giving me advise on how to proceed to make sure my interest are protected. This is what you need in attorney. Someone who willing to help others. I have more faith now that there are helpful attorneys who will go the extra step to help someone out.

Teri Ramjit | View Review

I have been Michael’s neighbor for almost 18 years. Any time that I have had a legal question concerning real estate and/or business, he is the first person I would go to.

Michael seamlessly handled a sale of an investment property worth almost One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for my partner and Me in Miami. He also previously represented my wife in real estate transactions as well.

I felt very comfortable retaining Michael and his firm to represent me, as not only is he an experienced real estate and business attorney, but has also been a Florida Licensed Real Estate Broker for many years and was previously a Licensed Mortgage Broker for approximately 25 years.

That being said, Michaels combined knowledge, of all aspects of Real Estate made me feel quite comfortable retaining his firm to represent me in my transactions.

Michael has represented and helped me with several real estate transactions over the 15 plus years that I have known him. He is a pleasure to work with, very meticulous, expeditious, responsive and thinks outside the box. As a Florida Licensed Real Estate Broker and previous Licensed Mortgage Broker his combined knowledge, legal/real estate/ business transactional law proved vital in navigating through some potentially complicated transactions. I highly recommend Michael and his team!

Kim Brown | View Review

Highly recommend! Michael gave me great professional advise. He has great expertise as a 35 year real estate attorney. Guided me with facts and evidence in a messy situation I was in, where I felt I was powerless. He is honest and ethical which is a rare find these days. Best of all, had my personal interest as a priority and put his financial gain behind. I was very fortunate to find him and would give him 5+ stars if I could.
