Review Michael Politis

Total team effort

Posted by

Michael Politis and his team far exceeded expectations in my particular case . It was through his reliance on the groups prospective that my case was accepted . As I progressed through the entire process I was dealt with in a completely professional manner ! Everyone in the office was pleasant intelligent efficient and seem to have my true interest at heart . I could tell these people actually cared about me as a person and not just another case . I will forever be indebted to Mr. Politis and his staff for the job that they did for me in such a caring and professional way . I would highly recommend them to those seeking solid professional advice

Great legal team. Always responded in a timely manor whenever I had questions or needed anything. They made sure I got the care I needed and didn’t settle for less when the insurance company tried to screw me. Strongly recommend

Professional and approachable

Very satisfied with my resolution. Was respectful of my situation and answered all of my ignorant questions with patience. Took a while but I believe that is industry standards - NOT a reflection on Mr Politis and his associates. Will do business again if I ever have the need.

I was worried when I got into my accident and needed to hire a lawyer, but I’m glad I went to Mr politis’s office. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and literally took care of everything for me, called me with updates and made the process very easy. I couldn’t have hired a better lawyer, seriously.
