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.

I have trusted Attorney Pollack for more than 15 years!

Michael Pollack is a hardworking, tenacious and trustworthy lawyer who will work his tail off to get you the compensation you deserve. That is what he did for me when I had a case. He started by asking so many questions, I thought that first meeting would never end. But then I realized that he was... really getting all the information he could to put together a great case that got me a great result. So don't be surprised that he asks so many questions -- he has his reasons! It was about 15 years ago that I first engaged his services. Since then there have been a few other cases and Attorney Pollack has always been the first person I call when I think I need a lawyers help. One thing that makes him trustworthy in my view is that a couple of times he referred me to another lawyer, saying that the case was not his specialty and another attorney would be better at it. That shows he is not going to try to BS his way on a case. To me that is trustworthy. So I think you wont go wrong calling Michael Pollack.

My review of Attorney Pollack

In 1998 I was recommended to Attorney Michael Pollack for a workers comp. injury case that was severe enough to require surgery. It turned out to be an excellent recommendation. Michael was very clear of our objective, confident of the outcome and caring of my needs. Michael is professional at all ti...mes, meticulous in his preparation for court and when necessary, aggressive with his opponent’s. He is the best at what he does and as a person he is someone who cares about people and looks for justice for his clients. He has a passion for righting wrongs. I knew he was only a phone call away should I have any questions and he always promptly returned my calls. My case was settled and I received a generous settlement beyond my expectations. I am certain that this result was due to his excellent negotiation skills. I was very fortunate to retain Michael as an attorney and highly recommend him to anyone who may find themselves in need of his services.

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.
