It was good to know......

Mike Bottaro! I was rearended by a drunk driver in the middle of the day. No real damage to car just my arm. Mike and his team got me paid for my pain. I would highly recommend them as a attorney for your case.

If there was more stars!!!

If there was more stars I would say they should have 10 stars they handled everything. From start to end and was very quick and responsive. I'd recommend that you don't take this as a hype but they are the best attorney for the job.

Fantastic attorney, extremely satisfied

While visiting Rhode Island with my family, our vehicle was struck by a distracted driver. Mike Bottaro aggressively advocated for our rights. The range of injuries sustained in the accident meant that, despite very simple facts surrounding the accident, this would be a complicated case to navigate. ...Attorney Bottaro and staff expertly coordinated between the injured members of my family, our wide range of medical providers stretched across two states, our insurance company, and the at-fault driver's insurance company. They made sure that we were able to get the care we needed and to focus on healing rather than having to expend our limited energy and resources fighting with insurance companies to get treatment. But what about the results? Attorney Bottaro and staff, working closely with us and listening carefully to our needs and the recommendations made by our healthcare professionals, were successful in securing the full policy limit for each of us, covering our current expenses and providing us with the means necessary to manage our new life-long injuries going forward. On behalf of my family, I wholeheartedly can, and have, recommended the Bottaro Law Firm for representation in personal injury matters. I'm glad we chose them for representation in this matter and, now that I've seen the level of professional care they put into their cases, I understand why they have such a proven track-record of securing excellent outcomes for their clients. I hope I'm never injured in another accident, but if I am--I know who to call.

Treats you like family

I never write reviews about anything but I think Attorney Bottaro deserves more than just a review. Mike and his staff from start to finish will treat you like family. From any questions you have throughout your case, and from beginning to end you are going to be taken care of. The results of my case... were more than amazing and they took all the time I needed to understand each and every portion of the case. I highly recommend anyone looking for an attorney to use the offices of Mike Bottaro. “ it’s good to know “ is an understatement!!!!!!

Battaro law

The Battaro Law Firm was absolutely amazing from the beginning to the end of my case . Mike took time out of his Saturday before the new office was even open to meet with me and my father to get the case going, that's how I knew I was in good hands. Throughout the entire case I was contacted by th...e staff and Mike himself to check in on me and to tell me the status on the case. I would 100% recommend this Law firm, due to there exponential care for there clients.

"I would highly endorse Mike Bottaro as a skilled and dedicated personal injury and medical malpractice attorney. Mike works for one of the top civil litigation firms in the state of Rhode Island, and has the reputation of being a very qualified and respected attorney. I have known Mike for over three years now, both as supporters of Rhode Island’s only law school (Roger Williams University School of Law), as well as fellow members of the Rhode Island Association for Justice. If I had a question about civil litigation, I would not hesitate to consult with Mike. A great example of Michael Bottaro’s extensive knowledge of civil law in Rhode Island is the fact that Mike is a co-author to the upcoming book “A Practical Guide to Discovery in Rhode Island.” Any client of Mike’s is in good hands."
