disabling accident case and wrongful death

I retained Michael Zicolello to represent my father after a disabling work related accident. Michael was easy to talk with and treated us like family. The case was long in the process as the company where the accident occurred dragged us through many delays. Michael kept us updated every step of the ...way. The case eventually went to court and found in our favor. The settlement was structured by the law firm so that my father had a consistent income until his death. I also retained Michael on behalf of my brother for the wrongful death of his wife when she was struck by a motorist while she was crossing a street. Michael immediately assisted and handled issues with life insurance and medical expenses that were needed. The case is still ongoing but he has hired investigators and experts and has settled what has been possible while seeking final damages that most likely will end up in court. Michael has provided all the legal support my family has needed arranging for investigators and filing all necessary documents and arranging and attending depositions. He has made the process easier by often times meeting with us in our home, with phone calls and email. He has certainly been present for all proceedings. He has provided advice and direction and general support. I can not stress enough how easy he is to work with. He is easily contacted and when he wasn’t in when we called, he returned calls promptly. He has explained the process and what he is doing for us. He has been patient with us in our grief and numerous questions providing sage advice and realistic answers. I have known Michael since 1994. Over the years he has been there for me when I have had other legal needs such as my will and drafting advance directives and answering legal questions for me as the need has arisen. I feel fortunate that these two life altering situations were handled by him with positive outcomes, but especially his sensitivity to us as a family in time of great need and emotional tumult.

Two thumbs up

As parents of three daughters my wife and I were very concerned about their future should anything happen to us. We already knew the importance of life insurance, but wills were something we had neglected until we spoke with Michael. He helped guide us through the process of establishing our wills so... our children and estate would be taken care of according to our wishes in the event of our death. It was not an easy thing to address my own mortality, but, thanks to Michael my wife and I have made things just a little bit easier should something tragic happen to us.

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.
