Title: Experience with Avenue Law APC Intake Process I am writing about my experience with Avenue Law APC’s intake process. Limited Public Information Avenue Law APC does not appear to maintain a dedicated firm website with attorney bios or case results. Public information about the firm and its attorneys is limited to third-party directories and review sites. Failed Scheduled Consultation An intake coordinator confirmed a consultation scheduled for 3:30 PM. No communication was made to decline engagement prior to that time. The firm did not confirm the consultation on the day of the appointment and made no further contact regarding the consultation status or rescheduling. Refused Joint Consultation I provided written client authorization for a joint consultation. The intake coordinator refused the request, citing privilege concerns. After I reiterated that authorization had been provided, no alternative options (such as a limited joint call or follow-up call) were offered. Lack of Engagement Clarification Despite hours of intake communication, the firm never informed me whether it would accept or decline the matter. I was left without any clear engagement decision. Alleged Retaliation for This Review After I posted this review on Google, Michael stated in writing and during a video conversation—in the presence of a witness (name withheld)—that if I did not remove the review, he would retaliate against my business. I have preserved the witness identity.

Response from owner

Hi Tony, <br><br>As you know, you were never a client nor potential client of this firm.<br><br>Rather, you were attempting to act as a middleman for someone who may have had a case.<br><br>We tried to speak with that person, but you blocked every attempt we made, demanding to be involved in our discussions with the potential client. Your conduct seemed bizarre and controlling.<br><br>Because you are not a lawyer and do not hold any other position with the potential client that wouldn't impact privilege (spouse, doctor, clergy), we made it very clear that we would not hold any discussions with this person in your presence. This was in the interest of safeguarding the potential client’s case and protecting her from breaking privilege. <br><br>You refused to accept our explanations and treated our staff in a demeaning and obnoxious manner, then chose to post this Chat GPT-generated negative review.

After an issue with my employer arose, I reached out to a friend who recommended Michael. I got great results in a timely manner. Aside from that, he's a joy to work with and truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend this business.

I was referred to Michael at Avenue Law by a friend and my experience exceeded my already lofty expectations. Michael was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, patient and genuinely cares about his clients and their cases. If you have a labor law need, Michael is your guy! Highly recommended.

I called Avenue Law/APC with questions regarding a legal matter I’ve had for sometime. Michael, the attorney who took my call, was kind, professional and knowledgeable. While this particular practice didn’t provide the legal services I needed, Michael went above and beyond to not only listen to my problem.. I mean really listen, but actually called me back telling me that he referred me to another firm. I was/am stunned. It has restored my faith— there really are good, caring people out there.. and Michael is one of them. I’m just sorry he couldn’t take my case. Anyone needing an employment attorney— Michael is your man.

I was referred to Avenue Law by a good friend and I was so glad! Michael and his team are extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and actually care about your case. Many lawyers have a lack of communication with their clients, but I had a different experience with Avenue Law- they answered all my questions very thoroughly and I was very pleased with the outcome of my case! Thank you!!

Michael is straight forward, personable, and very professional. He is extremely thorough, and told me exactly what to expect each step of the way - which made him a pleasure to work with. There were no empty promises and the end result was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Michael and Avenue Law for all labor and employment law issues!

I needed Michael for any employment matter and was impressed by the results he pulled together for me. He was quick, kept me in the loop, and was effective and aggressive during negotiations.

Michael is a fantastic attorney who has dedicated his entire career to representing employees who have been wrongfully terminated or who have been taken advantage of by their employer. 10/10 would recommend Michael! He is well-respected in the employment law community in Los Angeles.

Recently I found myself in an unusual situation with my employer, whereby I was placed on an indefinite medical leave, with asks that my medical provider was not able to accommodate. I was left in limbo, constantly getting the run around. Needless to say, I decided to retain Michael as legal counsel to advocate on my behalf. And wouldn't you guess it, things started to move very quickly toward a resolution and my rightful reinstatement to my position. Michael knows the law, and gives his honest assessment, straight. He earned my trust and respect. Tremendous results. An honest, knowledgeable attorney. I highly recommend.

I've known Michael for years and can wholeheartedly say that you would be hard-pressed to find an attorney who is more passionate about his practice, his clients and advocating on their behalf. He is diligent, respectful, and has the utmost adherence to the code of conduct to which all attorneys are bound. He is my first-choice recommendation to persons in need of employment counseling and always trust that he will advocate to the best of his ability.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your kind words, Andrew! Truly humbling.
