A Great Lawyer

Michael Rainboth is a very caring person besides being a great attorney. He took my case and it involved more than I knew it would and he got everything done. He came to me when I couldn’t get to his office and just made things as easy as he could during all of the lawsuit. I highly recommend Michael... and his staff they have gone out of the way for me. Thanks

Excellent in Every Way

Mike handled my car accident in which I was the Plaintiff. I was kept abreast of everything, of our status, he had great recommendations for me regarding my case and we were offered a settlement in terms of right around where he projected we would be at. His assistant Caren is also very thorough a...nd competent. No complaints here. I would recommend Mike to anyone for your personal injury or medical malpractice suit. I would absolutely use him again too!

Saving Grace

If you are in need of someone that will be invested in you and your case from day 1. Provide you with intelligence, grace, encouragement, understanding and most of all non-judgement, then look no more. Mike is our "saving grace" he kept in constant contact with us and we were well informed each ste...p of the way. When you have to focus all your attention on getting well, trying to grasp all the medical terminology that is now thrown at you, along with trying to figure out your new normal, the last thing that you need is to try and decipher legal jargon. That is where and when you need to have a trustworthy person who is working diligently on righting a wrong. Mike is that person. He was instrumental throughout our journey of seeking peace of mind and in the end he righted a wrong for us. Thank you Michael Rainboth for making a very difficult situation a lot less painful to deal with. You are forever in our hearts and wish you and your family the very best.

Thank You!!

I cannot say enough about Michael Rainboth who I was fortunate to have found. He has helped me through the very difficult circumstances in the wrongful death of my wife. He is hard working and extremely thorough in his practice of law. He has made me feel comfortable with every step of the process... and always kept me well informed. He is diligent and thorough and has the respect of his peers. I will give the very highest of reviews and would recommend him to all who need his expertise.
