Michael J. Salmanson

I hired Mike to help me negotiate a lump sum settlement form my disability claim. His office manager was fantastic and very helpful. Mike was very thorough and it quickly became evident that he a lot of experience dealing with disability insurance companies. He clearly explained the options availa...ble to me and ultimately negotiated a deal that was considerably larger than what the insurance company had originally proposed. Hiring Mike to handle my claim was the right choice, and I am grateful for his assistance.

A few years ago I had major surgery through the COBRA plan of my former employer and quickly realized that I had fallen into a billing abyss. The surgeon’s office billed at an exorbitant rate and the insurance provider paid a pittance, leaving me with a huge obligation. Adding to the misery was the... fact that the insurance was privately managed by my former employer, and the surgeon was out of network though still theoretically eligible for payment. I attempted to negotiate a resolution to no avail and even solicited the advice and support of two state agencies. After more than a year of spinning my wheels I realized that I needed legal assistance but then found it difficult to locate a lawyer willing to take my case. Fortunately, I was referred to Salmanson Goldshaw and found that mitigating such billing discrepancies is their forte. Mike Salmanson is an expert in the field of insurance payment issues such as mine and professionally resolved my problem to my great satisfaction. His billing practices are fair and reasonable, removing this lingering worry was well worth the cost of his services. I would highly recommend Mike Salmanson to anyone experiencing insurance billing challenges such as mine.

Mike did a terrific job handling a lawsuit involving the break-up of a law firm. The work involved delicate negotiations between two groups of unreasonable people with significant hostility toward each other. Mike handled all of the difficulties with great aplomb, immediately established his trustw...orthiness, and effectively brought the negotiations to a successful conclusion. Mike is a great attorney.

We have used two other employment Lawyers in the past. Both with varying degrees of effectiveness and satisfaction. Mr. Salmanson came highly recommended and did not disappoint; rating 10/10. By a huge margin the best attorney client experience of our life! And Andi in his office is excellent as w...ell.

Mike is the first lawyer I have ever had to hire. It turns out that he is as competent, caring, and committed as they come. In the 8 months that Mike provided me counsel against a former employer, he communicated with me candidly and frequently about the minutiae of my case. Mike has a gift for trans...lating legalese into succinct, easy-to-understand terms without losing the subtleties that he understands deeply. In his regular communication with the opposing lawyer and with me, as well as during the eventual settlement negotiations, Mike's shrewd thinking and even-keeled demeanor gave me confidence that I was being represented by an expert whose interests aligned with my own. I was grateful that the matter was settled out of court and with as little fuss as possible. In addition to Mike's noteworthy professional skill, he is personable and has a terrific sense of humor. Between his deft handling of my case and accessibility, Mike helped me manage my expectations about the process such that I was no longer consumed with the daily anxiety that preceded having Mike as my lawyer. As the other reviewers clearly attest, Mike is an exemplar of his profession. Few others could have demonstrated the same degree of skill, poise, calm, and warmth that he did. Should you ever find yourself in a similar tangle, trust that Mike is the ally you want.
