Posted by Jen | April 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding

I was hit by a car in 2012 as a pedestrian who suffered a great deal of pain due to sever injuries. As my lawyer Michael Epstein did an outstanding job representing my case in this matter. He took time out of his daily actives to reach out to me in regards to what I could be reward and as to what th...e client on the other end was willing to agree towards. Moving forward without hesitation he was able to negotiate with them in the amount we agreed would be fair.. Thank you again Michael Epstein and his firm for representing me in this matter and look forward to working with u again perhaps in the future..

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.
