Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I think that the firm's high level of personal service is remarkable. You really always feel as if you are their only, or certainly most important, client. I also think the caliber of work and expertise is equal to that of much larger firms, but Massey & Gail delivers it without any airs or ego whatsoever. ’
‘Jonathan Massey is such a pleasure to work with and a true expert in his field. Perhaps the thing about working with him that stands out above competitors - in addition to his exceptional work product - is his complete lack of ego. He is never condescending, always humble, always complimentary and professional, but really he is just a great collaborator and honest broker. ’
‘M&G is uniquely situated in that it has a solid roster of real trial lawyers with courtroom experience in complex matters. That background ensures that any matter is better handled from inception as they know how the whole movie plays out. M&G also has the ability to take on practically any matter, no matter the area, legal issue, complexity, or exposure. ’
‘Lenny Gail is a trial mastermind, effectively overseeing cases and providing experienced insights into strategy. He ensures that his time is effectively used and that critical issues are navigated correctly.'
- 'Suyash Agrawal is a seasoned trial lawyer that gets deep into the weeds. He is not afraid to provide his strategic considerations even if those are contrary to the client's initial instincts. He knows the ins and outs of procedure to ensure that no opportunity is lost as the case progresses.
- 'There is no better legal mind than Jonathan Massey. He can handle any issue and is a seemingly endless font of precise citations to precedent no matter the forum or the issue. He is a one man appellate machine.’
