"Michael Shilub has represented me in connection with a wide range of issues. He has proven himself to be a wonderful resource for legal counsel and guidance. He has an uncanny ability to simplify complicated issues and make things happen quickly. In short, he possesses a fantastic combination of intelligence, wit and wisdom.

"Michael Shilub has represented my company, Lantern Financial, for 13 years. Over that period of time Michael has not just defended us but provided sagacious advice that has prevented litigation. In so doing not only were our legal fees minimized but Michael's steady, intelligent and doggedly persistent control allowed me to concentrate my energies on my business. He is one of the best strategists that I have met. His ability to think through situations results in efficiencies of time and money." 
Stephen Leidner, CEO, Lantern Financial Corporation

"Michael Shilub has been a trusted advisor to our family for nearly fifteen years. He has guided and protected our interests across a broad spectrum of legal issues in areas such as: Family trust, estate planning, real estate, conflict resolution, contract review, insurance settlement negotiation, etc. While Michael is primarily known as a high powered litigator going head to head with large corporate interests, we have been the beneficiaries of his considerable courtroom expertise to resolve issues of a more domestic nature. We were especially grateful to have him in our corner when he prevailed on a judge to dismiss a lawsuit against us arising from a construction accident on our property during a home renovation.
In addition, to providing a steady hand on the legal tiller on the home front, Michael has played an active role in my entertainment career over the years. He has effectively negotiated for my writing and producing services with the networks and studios and is well versed in industry custom and practice of entertainment contract law. He interfaces well with my other representatives, legal, agency, and business management.  In an era of overspecialization in nearly every field, Michael is truly a renaissance attorney. He has a tremendous ability to simplify complex legal issues. While his considerable intellect is the engine behind his superlative work, it never gets in the way of his equally considerable people skills.  We are indeed fortunate to have a gifted problem solver on our team, who, incidentally, is a highly talented, classically trained pianist. Michael embodies determined excellence in all that he does."

"Michael Shilub has been our family attorney for more than 10 years. We have looked to him for information and guidance throughout that time. In return, he has unfailingly listened, advised and helped us to find good solutions to issues.  As a Real Estate agent, I have consulted with Michael on behalf of my clients when faced with unusual circumstances.   He is able to zero in quickly on the real issues at hand, to formulate a plan and to execute it thoroughly which makes our association a pleasure. His response time is short and as a real estate consultant, the wrong answer or delay can be very costly. I appreciate his integrity, humor and zest for life. He is a joy to work with and I continue to learn from his wisdom."

"Michael Shilub has represented me in litigation as well as advised my daughter and me in situations which very well could have led to extensive legal cases without his help. I am particularly impressed with his focused and aggressive straties in resolving issues. This tenacious attention has kept my costs down and has kept me happy with the results!" 
- Carolyn Preletz

"I've known Michael Shilub for more than 15 years and have turned to him whenever I've needed an attorney. I know I can always trust his incredibly astute legal advice on a wide range of issues. In every instance, he's been able to find the quickest, most effective way of handling the matter. It's a great feeling to know your interests are so well-protected."
- Mike Dworski

"While acting as court appointed conservator and trustee, I engaged Michael Shilub to represent the interests of an 87-year-old woman who had been defrauded of her home and possessions. She was wheelchair-bound, severely hearing-impaired, and had a serious heart condition. The parties who took advantage of her obtained powers of attorney over her affairs and engaged an attorney to draft a self-serving estate plan giving themselves ownership of her home, making themselves the beneficiaries of her substantial estate. They placed her in a nursing home against her will and then moved into her home.
The case was difficult to prosecute given the lady's physical and mental states. With our help, she recovered assets and was able to return to her home where she remained until her death more than four (4) years later. The case presented daunting practical and legal challenges which Mr. Shilub and his team helped us to resolve favorably. I would recommend Mr. Shilub for complex litigation involving difficult factual and legal issues without any hesitation."
- Lawrence J. Kalfayan, Esq.

"Michael Shilub's representation and guidance during the duration of my lawsuit were very highly valued. I sincerely appreciated his counsel, knowledge, advice and customer service. Michael made a difficult period much easier. While going to trial is not something that I would want to do again, Michael made the process tolerable (and the monetary award he won for me made it worthwhile!). I look forward to referring others to him.
After discussing my legal situation with two other attorneys whom I had used in the past for other litigation, both attorneys pointed me to Michael Shilub for this particular matter. Through the one and a half year battle, Michael proved to be a sharp minded and calm professional who was knowledgeable, compassionate and truly beyond compare with any other attorney I had ever used. Through his wisdom and tact, he assisted me with strategic decisions. He counseled me on which avenues to pursue and which ones to let go. In the end we were able to celebrate a much deserved victory. I can honestly and without reservation say that Michael Shilub will ALWAYS be the attorney I turn to with any legal situation. He is without doubt the best legal counsel one could ever use."
- G.Clayton Vernon


"Michael Shilub represented my husband and me some years ago in connection with real property litigation relating to our home. He performed very well in trial and was aggressive only when necessary. He achieved excellent results for us and remains a loyal and able counselor on behalf our family."
