Couldn't be happier with Mike!

I was involved in a pretty bad crash that left me angry, confused, and hurt both physically and mentally. Luckily for me, a nurse that was helping me at the ER recommended I contact Mike Bottaro, as she was a former client. I am very glad I listened to her and called The Bottaro Law Firm. Mike and... his team helped me with everything and handled the case professionally from start to finish. Furthermore, Mike Bottaro personally calmed me down several when I was agitated and frustrated. I cannot even imagine how I would have handled my unfortunate accident without Mike's help. At the end, my compensation was significantly higher than the initial offer, which was a very pleasant surprise, and I know I owe it all to Mike's hard work and experience. I highly recommend Mike Bottaro and his team to anyone needing help after an accident. Thank you, Mike, I am forever grateful.

Highly Recommend lawyer!!

I was in a minor car accident and wasn’t sure that I even had a case. I met with Mike Bottaro and he impressive team. He explained the law in terms I could understand. I immediately hired him. Mike turned my questionable case into more than $50,000.00! Mike was upfront, honest and expects the same fr...om his clients. He is not an attorney that takes ½ of your reward money. His team treat you with respect and will answer any of your questions by the end of the day. Highly recommend Attorney Mike Bottaro and his team. Thank you Mike!! Sincerely Lisa M. North Providence

Master Communicaters!!!

My husband suffered a serious head injury during a fall. He had 12 staples in his head. I had seen Mikes commercials and he seemed confident and trustworthy. We met and he took our case. From then on Mike worked hard on a difficult case. Jen and Mike answered our questions and I was never in a wonde...r mode. After he got mostly better, Mike fought with the company and we finally made a good settlement and our bills were paid.

"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."

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.
