The other insurance company tried to bully me...

I was hit from behind while stopped in traffic. In addition to my first ever new vehicle being damaged, I apparently had whiplash, as well, which lasted several months. until it was properly diagnosed and treated. The other insurance company admitted responsibility yet still tried to bully me. W...hen their adjuster told me I would have to sign a release for all of my medical history or he wouldn't process my claim, I told him he could talk to my attorney. (I didn't have one.) I always cringed at the personal injury attorneys in the commercials. I found Mike online and read his reviews. They are all true! He is a really nice guy, very compassionate, capable, and he and his paralegal Jennifer handled everything. I am so happy to have found this law firm. They turned an extremely unpleasant experience into a positive outcome. Thank you Mike & Jen! I highly recommend Mike Bottaro.

Mike Bottaro Handled My Case Professionally and Efficiently with a Great Result

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.

Outstanding Lawyer

Nearly four years ago, my daughter was struck down by a drunk driver while crossing the street. We hired Michael Bottaro to be her attorney. Mike and his staff worked diligently over time to ensure the best possible outcome for my daughter. The defense attempted to use a previously diagnosed medic...al condition to weaken her case. Mike was relentless in finding expert and eye witnesses to counter their claim and to support the facts. I am deeply grateful to the Bottaro Law Firm for their commitment, kindness and patience in seeing this case to a close. In addition to being an outstanding attorney, Mike is a wonderful person and a pleasure to work with!

Amazing

I was recommended by a friend to consult with Mike after experiencing a debilitating injury. Upon meeting with Mike, I felt right at ease. We discussed the facts and he explained my options very clearly. The insurance carrier refused to accept any liability in the case. Mike continued to work on my... behalf and I am very pleased to report I have received an sizeable settlement. I was consulted with and informed every step along the way. Mike and his staff are a pleasure to deal with. I would highly, highly recommend Mike.

Phenomenal

I have to say that I was amazed with Attorney Bottaro on the day he called me with the great news that my case was coming to a close and I was getting a much bigger settlement than I expected. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and my car was totaled. The car that hit me was unfortunately i...nsured by one of the worst insurance companies in the state to deal with. After many negotiations and counteroffers, Attorney Bottaro was able to get me a settlement that was three times the amount that I had expected. He even negotiated a lower settlement for a medical bill that I had to pay. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone that needs a good lawyer!
