"I endorse Michael Parsons in his work as a tireless advocate on behalf of Georgia's injured workers. Michael is a leader in the workers' compensation community and is extremely well respected by our fellow colleagues in the Georgia Trial Lawyers' Association. In addition to his solid expertise in Georgia workers' compensation, Michael is also someone to whom I can turn for assistance with claims involving injured maritime workers under the Jones Act, as well as other similar Federal programs. Michael's solid experience, excellent reputation, and unwavering commitment to ethics sets the standard for what someone should look for in an attorney, and for these reasons I would recommend him to any potential client in need of quality legal representation."
"Michael is one of the up and coming young lawyers in the area of workers' compensation. I have referred him cases on a number of occasions and he has always diligently represented his client until a satisfactory result has been reached. It is my pleasure to endorse him."
"I have known and worked with Michael for over 10 years. He is an excellent workers compensation attorney who really enjoys helping his clients get the recoveries they deserve. An Atlanta native, Michael knows his way around metro Atlanta like few others - a very helpful quality when representing people in the metro area. I highly recommend Michael for anyone with a workers compensation claim."
"Michael's reputation as a Worker's compensation is excellent. Many injured workers are treated like a dirty tissue by their employer and insurer; only to be used up and thrown away. Michael fights hard to make sure working men and women are protected and receive all the benefits they are entitled under the law. I proudly endorse Michael as a lawyer. Howard Spiva Attorney."
"Michael has worked with me on some of my most difficult Workers' Compensation matters. Each time he has exceeded our expectations. I will continue to trust his guidance on these importatant cases."
