This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Extremely knowledgeable

Michael was extremely knowledgeable and understanding during our consultation. Although, he was not able to take on my case, he referred me to an attorney who could.

Good representation

Michael takes the time to describe what Is going to occur in great detail, in easy to understand terms. I don’t like lawyers, or that whole system, but I like Michael. He is not a go for the throat type of attorney, just plain fair. I recommend anybody that needs representation in personal injury, to... use this guy. He represented my daughter, 18 yo involved in a car accident where she was a passenger, and she is very happy with the settlement she received.

Amazing

Attorney Pollack represented me in a personal injury/Motor Vehicle accident case. I needed someone to stand up for me, after I was bullied by the plaintiffs insurance company. Attorney Pollack was my “Knight in shining armor,” not only is he smart, proactive and assertive, he’s also extremely empathe...tic. “He is the best,”he got me a settlement in my favor.He helped me navigate through a difficult situation. He was super responsive with any questions, phone calls and emails. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants amazing representation.

Attorney Michael B Pollack

If you are looking for an attorney that is on his game look no further than Attorney Micheal B Pollack! This attorney returns phone calls and emails promptly something my previous attorney never did! Beyond that he has always taken the time to explain everything to me answering any questions I might ...have and making sure that I received the settlement that I deserved. He is a man of integrity and I am very happy and proud that he represented me!

On the Spot

I have had the pleasure of having Mr. Pollack represent me in two motor vehicle accidents that I received debilitating injuries. Michael was understanding of my injuries, he was also calming during a very difficult time in my life, and he was extremely knowledgeable, understanding the law and my righ...ts as a victim. Both claims were a success and my injuries are now behind me for the most part. I highly recommend Michael Pollack for any personal injury or motor vehicle accident case. He will definitely be there for you and your best interests.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
