Mr. Menkin is an exceptional attorney. His experience combined with his personable, can-do manner makes him incredibly competent. He is very well-respected in the legal community for good reason. His knowledge of the law and of the industry is unparalleled. Mr. Menkin guided us through an incredibly upsetting time and he achieved desired results. I have no doubt in my mind that we achieved our final result only because Mr. Menkin was our attorney.

When it comes to attorneys, Mr. Menkin is the cream of the crop. His legal guidance and expertise helped our family through the most challenging time of our lives. For that I am forever grateful.

Edward Z. Menkin is an exceptionally well qualified by brains, experience in criminal law, honorable character, firmness of judgment, public spirit, breadth of mind, and compassion.

He has always set high standards for himself and he expects it of others.
I have known him for some thirty years, since he was a very young, modest graduate student in English at Syracuse University. As one of his professors, I recognized his quality then, and have been his friend ever since. I have had many occasions to recognize his personal generosity.

I was impressed by the disciplined energy and commitment with which he put himself through law school while teaching English – two full-time jobs simultaneously for three years. His public spirit has been evident in his pro bono legal help for breast cancer victims and his talks to the Thursday Morning Round Table.

His acute intelligence, fundamental seriousness, and idealism, as all his friends know, are leavened by practical shrewdness and humor – all part of his humane understanding.
I would trust him with my life. Indeed, in a small way I have done so.

This good man will make a wise and distinguished judge. I shall support him in every way I can and hope you will also.
