Michael R Bottaro

Came to Mike with an auto accident claim. First time I used an attorney for anything like this. He said I had a case, they kept me informed of the case and always asked how I was doing. And had a settlement check in what I would consider a short amount of time. Would definitely use them again, but ho...pefully won't have to. lol

If you're anything like me, you're sitting on your couch after your accident in a great deal of physical pain and emotional distress. You are nervous about your medical bills and whether your car will be back in your driveway. Your accident happened during the busiest time of year at work and the un...certainty of it all is daunting and overwhelming. You're wondering if you need a lawyer and if you read nothing else I say, the answer is YES. You need an attorney and you need Mike Bottaro. And you need to call him right now. Do not hold off thinking you can handle this yourself. I waited nearly 3 weeks after my car accident and that was a mistake on my part. You need Mike on your case as fast as possible. Mike knows all the right people who will take care of you. Listen to his recommendations, referrals and advice. When I first contacted The Bottaro Law Firm, I called after traditional office hours. To my surprise, I was able to speak to Mike right away. We set up an appointment to meet within 24 hours. Mike even agreed to meet me closer to my home when I told him I hadn't driven since the wreck and I was having anxiety about getting back on the road again. Mike took the time to listen to me, learn about my unique work situation (he had his work cut it for him in this department with my case!) and what my major concerns were. He told me what to expect over the next few months and what the whole process would be like. He provided me with expert advice and told me what I should and should not do. Mike went above and beyond for me when the insurance company tried to total my brand new car not once but twice! I was absolutely panicked and he talked me off a ledge. This was so important to me because I had worked so hard and saved for so long to afford my first brand new car. I cannot stress this enough--listen to Mike and take your car to the collision centers he recommends. It's not Mike's job to square away the property part of your accident. Since Mike knew this was a one of the biggest sources of my stress, he gave me a solution and battled the insurance company to get my car back in the driveway. Thank you Mike, for going out of your way to solve this problem for me. Everyone I encountered at The Bottaro Law Firm was wonderful to work with. Gabriella checked in with me constantly with status updates. I always looked forward to chatting with Gabby! She was encouraging, uplifting and always told me what I needed to hear to calm my nerves. Tamera was excellent when it came to filing my claim and understanding my unusual financials as a self-employed person. Mary was always personal and professional answering the phones. Everyone at The Bottaro Law Firm works at the speed of light to get your case progressing. Once you get past the initial stress of your accident, Mike and his staff make the process seamless and dare I say: enjoyable! My case was settled faster then I had ever expected. Mike Bottaro turned one of the worst days of my life into a huge positive. Mike Bottaro is not only an exceptional attorney, he's a family-man and a gentleman. A man with the highest standards, ethics, honor and integrity. I find his energy and zest for life inspiring. He will do battle for your case and advocate for you, all while keeping it keeping it classy. This is the guy you need in your corner. Thank you, Mike, from the bottom of my heart. You have given me such a gift. You change people's lives for the better. I am eternally grateful.

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in which a vehicle turned into me. I was thrown from my bike and sustained multiple injuries. My bike was totaled due to the impact. After doing thorough research I decided to call Bottaro Law Firm. After a brief phone conversation with Mike he asked to meet wi...th me at my house. Mike's ambition and tenacity is undeniable. He is a compassionate, personable man yet extremely professional. I was not only comfortable with Mike but also confident that he had the knowledge, experience, ability and resources to get the best possible outcome. To no surprise, Mike has surrounded himself with a great team. I had the pleasure of dealing with both Lauren and Gabriella. Being out of work for nearly seven months, countless Dr visits, physical therapy, paperwork, bills and phone calls, the situation can become overwhelming and complicated. But they handled everything! Even assisting me with matters outside of the personal injury case. This left me with no doubt that I had made the right decision in choosing Bottaro Law. In the end, I could not be happier with the level of service that i have experienced. And Mike was able to get me a settlement that surpassed even my own expectations!

After interviewing a few personal injury attorneys to represent me after my motorcycle accident, I decided that Mike Bottaro was the best for me, and two years later, my intuition was spot on. During the interview process, where I presented the facts of my case, I was questioning Mike as to how ag...ressive and assertive he would be in representing me against the insurace company. His answers evoked a balance between self assured confidence, and willingness to be my advocate to protect my rights, and gather an award that I should be entittled to. Mike prepared my case will cool efficiency, as though he was preparing for a trial, and left no potential avenue un-resolved. He ensured that I take the steps necessary to present at trial, such as DR's appointments, rehab, critical to my case. Mike knows what is needed, and will give you the unvarnished truth as to what is expected of you, and of the defending insurance company. Mike demonstrated that effectiveness, when an initial offer was presented, and can only be described as "to low", and encouraged me to reject that offer, and to make a counter one for me. As preparations continued, and interrogatories were taken, another offer was made. Mike indicated that this was a better offer, and should be considered, but his intuative sense indicated a counter offer would bring better results, if stated carefully. This is the type of representation that you want, an assertive, hungry attorney willing to do the extras to represent you, and get fair compensation. With Mike, I received both. -Joe H.

I hired Mike based on recommendations from other local attorneys with whom I've worked on other real estate matters. Being an attorney myself, I knew I couldn't represent myself after a trip and fall in a dimly lit parking lot that left me hospitalized for 8 days and required a total hip replacement... followed by over four months of intensive physical therapy. Mike did not disappoint - he quickly reviewed the facts; hired experts; pursued my claim with two insurance companies; and filed all necessary court papers. The case dragged on for over three years with numerous depositions, motions, court appearances and even international witness statements via The Hague Convention, but Mike never wavered. In the end the other side finally suggested mediation, and we were able to settle before trial. Mike's persistence, grasp of the facts and knowledge of premises liability issues proved hard to overcome, and I am very pleased with the settlement. I would recommend Mike to anyone needing legal representation for a personal injury case. He's professional, knowledgeable, approachable and cares about his clients and their well-being.
