Michael saved my life & my daughter's

Motor Vehicle Accident Case

I almost died in a car accident back in 2002 when my friend fell asleep behind the wheel and ran into a tree. My family hired Michael Dreishpoon's old law firm to represent me. When Michael started his own firm in 2003, I switched to his firm because I wanted him to be my attorney. He always made me feel comfortable and kept me informed of all of the case details. After nearly 5 years of litigation, he settled my case prior to trial for $3,200,000. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the job he did.

Amazing

Mr. Dreishpoon’s professionalism and tenacity to help me when I was in a vulnerable position are truly commendable. I was involved in an automobile accident when visiting New York from a different state, and my case presented several significant challenges. Mr. Dreishpoon, and his team, not only were able to settle my case with the insurance company of the person who rear ended us, but also secured the full policy limits of the car I was riding in. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. They are absolutely excellent.

Damn Good Job!

Michael represented me in a frame up DV case and he did an excellent job. He believed me and confronted DAs office with the truth and the case was dropped and dismissed. Michael is honest and a good listener. I will recommend him any day

Personal injury

I hired Mr. Dreishpoon to fight my personal injury case, he won the case and I got the maximum amount from the auto insurance company. What I like about him is that he insist that you speak the truth, that you be 100% upfront with him. he goes by the law and never gave me false hope. He does not take your case unless he is confident that he wins the case. He documents every word you say to him to ensure accuracy. He may seems to be arrogant at times, which is for good /positive reasons. I believed in Mr. Dreisphoon from day one and I received a positive outcome His team is also excellent! If I have a legal problem in the future I would call Mr. Dreisphoon in a heart beat.

Car accident case

My dad was hit by a car and Michael took his case. I'm very pleased with his representation, couldn't ask for a better lawyer. He gave us what really mattered, no court appearance and well compensated. I will definitely use his service again in the future if ever needed.
