Briskin, Cross & Sanford, LLC

I found the legal services provided to me by BCS law to be exceptional. Yoko was my attorney and she was thorough with a deep understanding of subordination agreements and general business law. I reached out to the firm because of all of the excellent reviews and as a former small business owner, am glad that I found this firm. The answered all of my questions and put me at ease about signing a business document. I am very satisfied with their professional services.

I am an Australian investor and have been a personal client of Michael E. Jacobs of Briskin, Cross & Sanford since 2010. Michael and his team assisted with our LLC creations and registrations for our property investments. Very helpful with all our enquiries.

Our experience with Michael Jacobs was wonderful. He was attentive, knowledgeable, patient and made us feel relaxed with a complex situation. I would use him again for sure and highly recommend him. Thank you, Michael.

We used Briskin Cross & Sanford for a real estate closing. While the transaction itself appeared to go smoothly at the time, we later received notices from the IRS stating that $27,000 in FIRPTA taxes had not been paid. After extensive follow-up, the attorney who handled our closing acknowledged that the taxes were paid but that a filing error was made with IRS Form 8288. The form was refiled, yet the issue remains unresolved, and we continue to receive IRS collection notices. What’s most frustrating is not just the error, but the complete lack of responsiveness and ownership since then. Despite providing all documentation (closing statements, original and refiled forms, IRS letters) and repeatedly asking for help, we have effectively been ignored. This is a serious and stressful issue that should have been handled promptly by the firm that made the mistake. Unfortunately, we have had to spend countless hours dealing with the IRS ourselves with no meaningful support. I would strongly caution anyone considering this firm to ensure that post-closing responsibilities and IRS filings are handled correctly—and that the firm will stand behind their work if something goes wrong.

I have worked with Michael and LA shay for private lending. what i found working with them is 100% dedication towards customer commitment, highly meticulous and professional about their work and accommodate us for a quick closing. literally getting multiple state title back in 4 business days and closing on the very next days with preparation of loan docs to disbursing the loan.

Mike Jacobs is the best lawyer to have. He is incredibly responsive and guided me through every step.

We had an excellent experience working with Briskin, Cross & Sanford. They were professional and knowledgeable. Communication was clear and timely. Their associate Kyle Paske kept in touch and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend for anyone needing legal support!

I worked with attorney Kyle Pasky on an executive severance and breach of contract dispute. From the very first call, he provided timely and accurate advice along with a clear plan of action. Kyle’s expertise in this area was evident as he carefully explained the contract language, identified leverage points, and outlined negotiation strategies in a way that were easy to understand. He was generous with his time, always quick to respond, and his professionalism made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. Billing was transparent and fair, with competitive pricing for the high level of knowledge and support he delivered. What stood out most was Kyle’s approachable and reassuring manner. He truly listened, understood my goals, and tailored his approach to fit my needs. His guidance gave me confidence during a time when my employer was attempting to avoid paying the severance I was owed. If you are dealing with a breach of contract or severance negotiation, I strongly recommend reaching out to Kyle. He delivers expert counsel, fair billing, and a client experience that inspires trust.

OUTSTANDING AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE & KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW. A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. ASSISTED ME WITH LONG TERM LEGAL ISSUES. WOULD DEFINITELY RECEOMMEND.

I'm new to the world of legal matters, and I'll admit.. when I contacted Briskin, Cross & Sanford I was in over my head. I was caught in a bad situation, torn between doing what's right and being a good friend. When I met Mary Trachian-Bradley, I was skeptical. I didn't think there was any getting out of my predicament.. but she proved me wrong in less than half an hour. If the other attorneys at this firm share a fraction of her competence, this organization's collective expertise make it one of the most qualified business litigation firms in the country. By the end of my call, I had a strategy.. I had confidence.. and I felt better than I had in weeks. And if you read this, Mary... Thank you.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Attorney Mike Jacobs, and I can't express enough how grateful I am for his time and insight. He called me directly from a referral, took the time to truly listen, and reviewed the documents related to my legal matter. While not everything he shared was easy to hear, it was honest, straightforward, and exactly what I needed. He not only gave me clarity on what I could pursue legally, but also helped me understand what I simply needed to accept and move forward from. After a frustrating experience with another attorney, speaking with Mike Jacobs was incredibly refreshing. His professionalism, compassion, and willingness to help reminded me that there are still good people out there who genuinely care. I felt such a sense of relief after our conversation. Highly recommend him to anyone seeking real, honest legal guidance.

TRULY exceptional service! It's rare that I will give a 5 star review because it's rare to receive superior service now days from any business. I spoke with Mary Trachian just a few days after Christmas. She was the only person in the office. Our conversation was the "Initial phone consultation" - you know, the one where the attorney spends more time trying to decide if your problem is profitable for them than you? There isn't enough room here for me to compliment Ms. Trachian the way she deserves. I'm not new to hiring lawyers over the past 40 years of business. She was concise, strategic, spot on and as if I had already retained her services. She was so good, in fact, that I resolved the matter and I'm left trying to find a way to hire her!- No joke. Mary - you're awesome. Thank you!

I have known MICHAEL JACOBS for 11 yrs where he has handled all my legal affairs drafting contracts, verifying deeds, negotiating on my behalf, properties closings, etc. .I'm proud and lucky to know Michael, his staff, and his firm. I would recommend anyone with business legal issues to at least give him a buzz to consult. You will never regret it.
