The Best EVER

5 or 6 years of Mike and I have known years and it has been the most WONDERFUL JOURNEY! There is not one person that I don't tell to go see Mike. Mike not only will make sure that you are covered medically but also help with the damages to your car if needed.

Lawyer For Life

Mr. Carestia started with six or seven cases and has grown it into a very large firm with over 1,500 cases. Despite that, I had access to his cell phone number and he was willing to meet with both myself and my husband in person on a Saturday to explain the details of my case as his attitude has bee...n that no matter how large his law firm grows, he does not want to lose the personal touch with respect to customer service and that each individual should feel that they are important because they are. We were more than happy with the results that he achieved but more importantly, both my husband and myself were amazed by the fact that he would make time for us on a Saturday given the size of the practice and the hours that he works. He is my lawyer for life

Best of the Best

I am reading these older reviews and can not believe they are for this office. I was referred to Mr. Carestia from one of his prior clients (my best friend) after my run-in with an 18-wheeler. From the initial call to receiving my settlement check, I was treated with respect and professionalism. My c...ase manager went above and beyond to keep me in the loop the entire time. They also sent out someone to meet with me since I was having issues locating a vehicle to come to their office. I highly recommend the Law Office of Michael Carestia.
