About Michael

MICHAEL N. CONNORS was born in 1950 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.  His family moved to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, in 1954, and he remains there today with his wife and son.  After his 1972 graduation from Pace University, Mr. Connors served in the United States Army with the Military Police in Germany.  Upon his honorable discharge he enrolled in Brooklyn Law School, and graduated in 1979 (Magister: Phi Delta Phi, 1978-1979).  Mr. Connors opened his private practice in Bay Ridge in 1981 and formed Connors and Sullivan in 1986.  He specializes in Trusts and Estates with a strong emphasis in Estate Planning and Elder Law. 

Through regular seminars, Mr. Connors devotes much of his time to educating the community on estate planning.  In particular,   these seminars focus on asset protection and taxation.  Mr. Connors has shared his estate planning expertise with innumerable churches, community centers, hospitals, and nursing homes.  For over twenty years, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens has counted on Mr. Connors to explain to parishioners the importance of estate planning and wills.  In addition, the United Nations, various chapters of AARP, the Bell Atlantic Pioneers, and the Pan Am Retiree Club have asked Mr. Connors to present seminars to their members and employees. For the benefit of their employees, HBO filmed Mr. Connors' seminar, Elder Care and the Law. Mr. Connors also regularly appeared on the cable television show Ask the Lawyer, a production of the Prayer Channel (now NET).  Mr. Connors currently serves on the New York State Governor's Advisory Committee for the Aging and the New York State Ethics Commission Public Advisory Council.
