Attorney Information
Overview
Michael F. Singer is a business and real estate attorney whose practice spans both the transactional and the contested sides of commercial property. For more than a decade he has served as outside counsel to real estate investment trusts and commercial landlords, including some of the largest operators of shopping centers and mixed-use properties, advising general counsel and regional general counsel on the matters that keep large portfolios moving.
Michael drafts and negotiates commercial and residential leases, amendments, and assignments, and he prepares the instruments that document real estate transactions, including deeds, mortgages, and promissory notes. On the contested side, he litigates commercial evictions, collection actions, construction disputes, tenant improvement allowance claims, code enforcement actions, quiet title actions, and mortgage foreclosure matters.
His counsel extends well beyond real estate. Michael advises business entities on formation and organization, shareholder and membership agreements, dissolutions, buy-outs, and corporate transactions. He has prepared and submitted trademark applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. He guides businesses and nonprofits through the rules governing promotions, sweepstakes, and contests, from official rules to registration and bonding. Clients who come to him for one problem often stay for the breadth of what he can handle.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
