Mike Was The Right Choice, Unquestionably

The first sign I knew Atty Akashian was the best for me was that within ten seconds of speaking with him, he told me to call him "Mike." Everything Mike did after that - during a very stressful time - was the ideal of what you hope for from a person representing you. He informed me of what was neede...d from me, what was underway, what the next step(s) was going to be and when. At a time when everything in my brain was swirling like the tornado scene in The Wizard of Oz, Mike explained everything with the calmest demeanor and in a language which assured me during a very scary time. He communicated and responded to communications quickly, professionally, and amicably. Updates from Mike were thankfully frequent, and if there was going to be a waiting period, he'd let me know to relax and not to worry... and he'd check up on me regularly. I knew I was represented by the right person. I know he made countless phone calls, had all the paperwork lined up and completed, and he absolutely knew his stuff. I felt good about working with him and his working hard for me. I am so extremely grateful that Mike was on my side, and I go way beyond recommending him!

I was hurt at work and was referred to Michael by a lawyer/friend of mine. Michael is a great lawyer, who helped me tremendously through the complexities of both Workers' Compensation and Accidental Disability Retirement cases successfully. I highly recommend him to anybody in need of help with eit...her of those types of cases.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
