Legionnaire's Disease Client Review

After discovering that I had Legionnaire's Disease which I contracted from the Best Western Sovereign Hotel in Albany, which has a history of problems with this disease, I contacted Michael Conway who I knew from newspaper stories was representing several other clients with the same problem. Michael ...was kind enough to visit me at my home while I was still recovering from the Legionnaire's so I wouldn't have to make the trip down to his office. I had originally contacted another lawyer whom I knew personally but decided to go with Michael because he was already deeply involved with other Best Western Legionnaire's cases. I always found Michael responsive and he dutifully kept me apprised of the status of my case by sending me all paperwork and staying in touch by phone. He answered all my questions in an easy to understand way. My case was settled by mediation, and thanks to Michael's and his team's efforts, I was remunerated nearly $36,000 in damages from the Best Western. I appreciate all of Michael's hard work and expertise and would heartily recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent personal injury attorney.

Former and future client

On the two seperate occasions I retained Michael Conway's services, he was very professional. Michael knew what he was talking about and guided me through every process. I never had to wait for phone calls as he followed through on every level of communication. I have recommended Michael to others an...d will so again. I trust him to always make the best choices on my behalf. I retained Michael as an employee on a labor law issue, on my behalf and five years ago he represented me on a medical malpractice suit, I was the patient.

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.

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.
