"I know Michael Trunk for many years. MIchael is an outstanding trial attorney. I have seen him accept cases others may not have taken and turn those cases into million dollar verdicts. I have also seen him handle the most complex cases and, as a result of his hard work and knowledge of the case, force the insurance companies to settle for much more than they had anticipated. Mike is an outstanding advocate who fights zeolously for his clients. I highly recommned him."

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
