Highly Professional with a Personal Touch

After searching and interviewing several personal injury attorneys to discuss possible legal action for a head-on collision my family experienced with my Chevy Avalanche, I decided to meet with Michael Carner to discuss what could be done with my situation. When speaking with several lawyers I quick...ly learned unless the physical injury was very large many attorneys showed little interest. However, my truck was totaled and my family was transported to a nearby hospital where my wife was admitted. So while the injuries were serious they did not rise to be huge in terms of a legal settlement. There were some attorneys interested in my case but my initial discussion with Mike convinced me to have a meeting. After meeting Michael his professional approach impressed me but there was a personal aspect that made a difference to me. As time went on with our case, I became confident my wife and I made the correct decision to go with Michael's law firm. His staff was always responsive and we had guidance to navigate the process. Ultimately there was a settlement and MIchael's office always remained in touch as time went on. I've worked with many lawyers over the years for many legal situations requiring more than my layman's law knowledge. While it's important to select a competent practitioner, there are other aspects to consider. Besides the expertise to work at securing the legal remedy being sought or whatever corrective measures may be needed, it's also important that the professional has the staff to support the efforts. Michael Carner is not only a terrific attorney having a proficient staff but is a genuinely good guy. You will not be disappointed.

Michael Carner is an outstanding attorney.

Michael Carner was recommended to me by my doctor who noted that he had referred over a dozen patients who were completely satisfied with Mr Carner's expertise and service. Michael Carner is a consummate professional who is very personable, responsive and friendly. His staff is very courteous and h...elpful. I am very satisfied with Mr Carner's handling of my case. I strongly recommend Michael Carner to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Personal injury case

I hired michael carner to represent me in injuries i sustained from falling down faulty steps outside a residence in the course of my work. Since this was a personal injury case and also a workers compensation case it was imperative that i needed micheal carner to represent me with his vast experien...ce in all assests of the law. Micheal carner was very professional and diligent in my case. He used all resources available to him and was very conscientious to make my case a successful one including gathering and interviewing important witnesses, scheduling doctor visits, handling all communication that was necessary, proper documentation on court paperwork, court appearances etc. My injuries had gotten worse with several surgeries as the case progressed and micheal carner made sure i would be compensated for my injuries and he was able to reach a settlement for 900,000 dollars in which i am grateful for due to his hard work.

Excellent Attorney!

Just shy of 5 years ago I began working with Michael Carner. Being that I had never needed a lawyer for a car accident, I was timid but hopeful that he could help me through the process. Michael was patient, thorough with his work, and made sure to keep the process moving. At times, I did need to ca...ll to check and make sure things were going as planned, but his office was very accommodating and we were always right on schedule. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and highly recommend him if you too are seeking legal help.
