True Gentleman, Dedicated Attorney
Michael Brevda is known in the community as the premier nursing home abuse attorney in Florida. I had the pleasure of having Mr. Brevda's law firm, the Senior Justice Law Firm, represent my siblings and I after the horrible death of my mother in a Tampa assisted living facility. Michael Brevda and the entire Senior Justice legal team were on the ball throughout and got us a settlement that was incredible generous. Michael was clearly a specialist in this area, knew his stuff, and I cannot thank him and the firm enough for the justice they brought to my family.

Super Lawyer
Atty Brevda assisted my family after the wrongful death of my mother. His law firm, Senior Justice Law Firm, was incredible throughout the process. We felt heard, and our purpose in bringing the claim (justice) was achieved. Senior Justice Law Firm clearly has specialized knowledge in this field that other firms do not. I was with a car wreck law firm for 6 months before I switched to Senior Justice Law Firm. The difference between the two firms was tremendous. These guys truly understand how to prosecute a nursing home abuse lawsuit.

Really Skilled Lawyer
Michael is a skilled trial attorney that helped my family get justice from a careless nursing home. Attorney Brevda made sure my voice was heard and that justice was served. I take solace knowing that this will not occur again thanks to my case.

Mr Kenneth A Justice
I am very happy to say that Michael Brevda represented me in my mother’s wrongful death case and did an exceptional job in all aspects of my case. He kept me informed throughout the process and was able to answer and resolve any of the questions or problems that occur during these types of cases. I know of a few horror stories you hear about lawsuits and all the things that can happen and believe me, Michael was able to resolve any problem that could possibly arise. His firm is outstanding and I had total confidence in their capabilities from day one. I was also very impressed with the time involved in my case and how fast we were able to settle. I have already recommended him to a relative who is having problems with a nursing home.

A gentleman and a Fighter
Michael took on our case versus the assisted living facility that overpromised on care and under-delivered on supervision. When our parent was wrongfully injured, we hired Michael and his firm, Senior Justice. I highly recommend them, they were the best from start to finish!

Best Nursing Home Attorney
Michael represented our interests after my mother developed a horrific pressure wound inside a local nursing home facility. He was professional and successful in his interactions with us. The staff was also wonderful. In conclusion, I strongly suggest you speak with Michael Brevda if you have a nursing home liability case.

Simply the Greatest Attorney I've Met - Very Happy with Michael and Lori
Michael Brevda was recommended to us by a lawyer family friend. He was known as the "go-to" attorney in this practice area. He did not disappoint! Thanks to Michael we won a large cash settlement and we feel like justice was done. Michael is a wonderful attorney and Lori, his assistant, is simply a doll.

Excellent Lawyer
Michael Brevda and Senior Justice Law Firm represented myself and my sister after my Mom fell out of bed in her rehab center and died.

OMG Love Michael
OMG we love Michael! He was such a saint to our family. Met with us and laid out a plan of attack on our case. Followed it to the T and he was able to secure compensation for all that we went through. I've never dealt with lawyers before but I am sure they are not like him. He is special

Prompt , Professional and Sincere
My mom has been in three assisted living facilities since 2012 in Boca , Delray and Boynton . We all want the best for our loved ones. However if you can not be present at the facility on a daily basis you loved one becomes neglected by the staff. I reached the point of needing legal advise. I am very pleased with Mr. Brevda. yes,I highly recommend.

The best personal injury attorney
Michael Brevda is the best personal injury attorney for taking on my case and doing so much with it. I was really hurt after a car slammed into me. My neighbor knew Michael and I met with him. He cared more than any other firm I met with. Fast forward a few months and Michael was successful in getting me a very large settlement (more than i made in the past 3 years). I feel so blessed to have worked with him. If you are serious about your case, call him!

Changed My Perception of Lawyers and the Legal Process Entirely
I admit it. I had a negative perception of lawyers and lawsuits before I had suffered a serious loss. I didn't want to sue, but I felt I had no other recourse. I was given attorney Brevda's name from a trusted financial advisor. Michael not only achieved justice for the wrongful death of my parent; he gave voice to our loss. Before, I felt like a tiny ant that no one listened to about my parent's wrongful passing. After Michael and his law firm, Senior Justice Law Firm, got involved and filed the case, shockwaves were felt by the offending nursing home. Thanks to Michael, they will not forget me, or my parent's mistreatment. And aside from the money, that gives me the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference. I could not have done it without Michael Brevda's guidance, legal ability and compassion. He is a wonderful soul and an incredibly intelligent legal eagle. I am grateful I met him and for the help he has given to me. Trustworthy, intelligent, hard working, straight forward. I could go on and on. If you need help with a legal problem, you owe it to yourself to call Michael!

A Dedicated Attorney for your Case
We initially signed up with a large law firm that advertises alot (mistake). They eventually had a hard time getting the medical records and referred us to Mike, "a specialist attorney." Boy, what a difference between these two firms. We sat around for 6 months at the old firm. With Senior Justice Law Firm, they had the records within 1 month. Mike and his team kept pace from there. We ended up getting the matter totally settled [for a handsome amount] within a year. I am so pleased with Mike and his firm's performance. Mr. Brevda is the best attorney I could have received on my legal matter. Kudos to you, Michael Brevda! Warmly, Another happy client!

I Like Mike !!
Thanks to Michael Brevda, Justice was served for my Mom. She was elderly with several serious problems when, in addition, she was a victum of malpractice. For months, I tried to find a Law Firm that would take my Mom's case but was unsuccessful, because my Mom's advanced age limited the value of the case. I was referred to Michael Brevda. He met with me and we plotted a course that resulted in an admission of guilt by the provider. I was very satisfied with the, results, professionalism, friendship, and above all the compasion that Michael showed for my Mom and I. Yes...I would definately recommend Michael Brevda to anyone who is looking for Justice for a loved one!

Michael Brevda - Review
I cant even begin to describe my satisfaction towards the help Michael provided for me, along with the level of professionalism and hospitality whilst doing so. From the excellent customer service his secretary & staff provided, to the hard work Michael invested into my case, I can honestly say he is a top notch lawyer that I will definitely be recommending to my colleagues! Thank you, Michael for making the process run so smoothly & helping me get what I deserve. Being hit by a car on the way home from class (in the middle of mid terms), I almost immediately gave up hope on being able to solve this case because of the lack of free time i had. Michael and his team worked around my schedule and assisted me in taking the proper steps needed to move forward. Thank you again, Michael!

His Professionalism and Passion Are Unmatched
Attorney Michael Brevda is one of the most professional, passionate professionals I have ever met. I came to him after my Mom died inside her Assisted Living Facility. Michael and his law firm (Senior Justice Law Firm) came highly recommended by another lawyer. So we went with them and the case was handled flawlessly. I cannot thank Michael enough. Forget the money he recovered for us -- just getting the facility management to recognize their error was priceless. For that, I am eternally grateful. If you have a problem involving an injury or death to a family member, you need Michael and his team on the case.
