Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I worked with Michael Ayaz and was very pleased with his insight and professionalism. He took the time to listen to my issues and advised me of rights and laid out a plan of action. He was very responsive and was able to get back to me in a very timely manner which was very important since this was a time sensitive matter.

This firm was wonderful in helping my family through a tough time in filing for a restraining order against and individual and dealing with a school. Everyone in the office went above and beyond! I will hopefully not ever need them in the future but will return to them if I ever need legal representation!!

I researched to find the right people to help me get a liquor license transferred to a new location. Mike from the start helped every step of the way, he is so eloquent with deal making. From helping negotiate the lease and all the way to the planning commission meeting. There is no telling how amazed I was with all their minds working together. The years of knowledge you receive with this firm is Hands down worth every dollar. If you have issues with your liquor license call these guys immediately.

Mike and Sean were extremely professional in their approach to our case and their approach to helping us understand the nuances and timelines of the process. They were able to help us get more than the average settlement for our type of litigation and we were very pleased with both their legal counsel and personal, prompt, and informative communication. We highly recommend Blake & Ayaz A Law.
