Amazing attorney

Mr. Politis was our first call after my husband’s terrible motorcycle accident. This team truly cares about their clients they truly helped us in such hard times and with the dedication and determination of Mr. Politis he successfully got my husband what he deserved and we were able to buy our first ...home! We will forever be grateful for the work Mr. Politis did in making sure that we could live comfortably after such tragic events took place.

It was my life and ability to work on the line. Mike and Shelley took care of me beyond anything I could have ever asked for.

Excellent Representation

Very pleased with, and thankful for, the representation Michael Politis provided me after my traffic accident. Michael patiently explained my options and his advice in terms and a manner I could understand. Any questions or concerns I had were promptly addressed and I was informed as my case progre...ssed. Michael and his team handled everything, insuring my injuries were properly diagnosed and treated to securing compensation and reimbursements, from day one to the settlement and conclusion of my case. I am sincerely grateful for their dedication and genuine concern for their clients. I highly recommend Michael Politis for anyone in need of legal representation.

They were fantastic!

After my accident I wasn’t sure what to do. My fiancé called Politis & Matovina, and I’m very thankful she did. They made the process super easy and I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again.

Easy process after my car accident

Mr. Politis and his team did a great job helping me through the stressful period after I was in a car accident in Nov 2021. They made the process easy and even worked to get me extra money that they didn't see a penny of.

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.
