mike has represented me in several cases with excellent outcomes, in our first case he represented me when my previous attorney told me to "forget it" in pursuing a $60,000.00 claim saying i would spend more in legal fees - Mike was able to get me an agreeable settlement and has been my attorney ever...
"Mike is a dynamic and energetic person and he seamlessly carries those qualities into his law practice. I have watched him the courtroom and he has the traits of an excellent trial lawyer. I would trust him with my own legal matters."
"In my experience, Sechrest is a strong attorney, who does not overstate a client's case. He's proven himself able to speak straightforward with his clients about the strengths and weaknesses in their cases, while maintaining a high level of advocacy that his clients rightfully expect. I confidently endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Michael is an excellent litigator in both construction law matters and personal injury/medical malpractice matters."
"Mr. Sechrest has been with me, and against me, on very involved and complex cases. I have found Mike to me open, honest and a very savvy attorney. When my clients need representation for personal injury and tort claims, I send them to Mike with no reservation at all. The only true way you can tell that one attorney respects and trusts another, is when they refer their good clients. I trust Mike and endorse him."
"Mike's has not just superior knowledge of the law - but also the rare ability to apply his intellect and experience to get positive results. I have worked with Mike on cases, and on others he has been opposing counsel. His litigation and courtroom abilities are outstanding, always obtaining the best possible result for his clients."
"I fully endorse Mike for any personal injury or construction law matter. Mike is highly competent and professional in advocating for his clients."
