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

Outstanding Attorney....Class Act

Mike Rainboth was a beacon of hope to my family during one of the most trying times of our lives. Not only did he work extremely hard and effectively, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered myself and my family great comfort. Mike is very intelligent and did not leave any stone unturned in this cas...e. I was amazed at how emotionally invested he was in my family and also all of the different approaches that he used to bring our case to a very successful resolution. Additionally, he always returned all calls and emails promptly and with much care and respect. In closing I want to add that Mike Rainboth is somebody that I feel blessed to have found to represent us in this very painful chapter of our lives. God Bless him for being the person he is!!! One of the best I have met in my 57 years!!

Excellent Lawyer!

I highly recommend Michael Rainboth. He's an excellent attorney. I got in an accident in 2012 and had him as my lawyer. I won my case. His assistant attorney Jamie does a great job too!

My Hero

I was lucky enough to find Michael to represent me in a lawsuit after I was injured quite wrongly. Over a 3 year period Michael, through hard work, intelligence, dedication, compassion, tenacity and a profound sense for righting a wrong, was able to navigate me through the judicial system, never losi...ng the sense of purpose that brought us together. To say that watching Michael work was a pure joy, would be such an understatement. His professionalism and kindness and caring, to this day bowls me over and leaves me speechless, which, if you knew me is quite an incredible feat. After 3 years, Michael brought my lawsuit to a very successful conclusion, watching this man mediate a just settlement for me is one of the highlights of my life. I don't consider Michael just my lawyer. Not even just my friend, but family, and there is nothing I would not do for this man, I quite literally trust him with my life. Trust....Honesty....a beautiful sense of what is right and wrong....and a more caring and compassionate soul you will never meet. If you ever find yourself lost and injured, wronged, scared, not knowing where to turn and who to trust, this, is your man, The man you want at your side to represent your best interests, at all times.
