Founding Partner, Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, P.C.
As a Founding Partner at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek P.C. and its Managing Partner for 25 years, Michael was instrumental in the success and growth of the firm as a major regional provider of legal services with more than 60 professionals and 130 staff members.
Michael advises middle market businesses in the region on all aspects of their business activities. He has also served on the Advisory Board of several companies. In 1996 he was appointed to the Board of the Long Island Power Authority, where he actively participated in the acquisition of the Long Island Lighting Company and the transformation of the energy business on Long Island. He was instrumental in the development of the Caithness Energy Center, the first baseload power plant built on Long Island in over 50 years. He continues to advise energy companies on the operation and development of projects on Long Island.
Michael has actively advocated for and succeeded in the development of numerous multi-family and mixed use transit oriented development projects on Long Island, including those developed and now operated by Avalon Bay Communities. His advocacy for Avalon Bay in Rockville Centre in the early 2000’s led to the general acceptance of transit-oriented development in the region.
A long-time leader in community activities, Michael served on the Board of Directors of the Long Island Association, the region’s largest business and civic group, is a founding member and past-Chair of the Long Island Angel Network, providing a forum for inventors, entrepreneurs and investors to examine investment opportunities in new technologies, products or business models. He also helped found the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center at Stony Brook University, where he serves as Vice-Chairman.

He has chaired the Long Island Regional Board of the Anti-Defamation League, and served as co-chairman of the United Jewish Appeal Rockville Centre Cabinet for more than 10 years, and was honored in 1987 with its Man of the Year Award. He is a past chairman of the board and president of Temple B’nai Sholom of Rockville Centre, where he continues to serve the Temple in various leadership capacities.
