Honest & Benevolent

My family and I were devastated after a serious injury to my son. I instructed Mr. Carestia that one of the insurance companies had indicated that they would pay $100,000.00 which was this insurance company’s policy limit but there were two other companies who had coverage for the accident. Mr. Ca...restia indicated to me that if the insurance company put in writing that they were intending to pay the $100,000.00 to me, he would get the money from the insurance company and only take a fee on any settlement money over the first $100,000.00 and the full $100,000.00 was ours to keep. There are very few honest people like that in the world and to find one that was an attorney and willing to give up $33,333.33 in fees on the first $100,000.00 of the case amazed my family even more.

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.

Night & Day Difference

I came to Mr. Carestia as my prior attorney told me I was lucky to get an offer of $25,000. Mr. Carestia resolve my case for $575,000. His competence and diligence on the case was so much better than the other attorney it was like night and day, as reflected by the final settlement amount.

Great Attorney

I was skeptical at first because of the other reviews, but Mike spoke to me himself and said he has recently gotten rid of the bad apples. Can’t say enough about this firm. They gave great customer service, always kept me in the loop, and definitely got me the help (and $$) I deserved. If you are in ...an auto accident, give Mike a shout.

Noncommunicating, False Promising Lawyer

This lawyer tells you what you want to hear, even if its false information. We were advised we would see so much money out of this case and we had nothing to worry about. That was not the case. We came out empty. We would call for updates on the case and never got a call back. Months went back with n...o calls back to us. We called several times requesting to speak with the lawyer about our case and never received a return call. He was out to get our money, but did not provide good service and the outcome of the claim he stated did not happen. Lack of involvement in our case, lack of knowledge in our case, lack of everything. Do not use this lawyer.
