    Review E. Brezina

    Extremely responsive attorney

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    Responsiveness is such an important part of a legal issue. I have known Michael for more than 5 years. He is very concerned about YOUR situation. He puts his heart into comfort and reassurance. He is also very honest in what he thinks the outcome may be. He WILL NOT tell you what you want to hear in order to bill more hours. You will find that Michael has the ability to make your situation as his priority.

    Great Attorney, Great Person

    I had the pleasure of working with Mike Brezina on several medical malpractice cases while I was a claims attorney. He is thorough, considers all sides of the issue, is prompt in his reporting, and is collaborative when it comes to case strategy. I also know him through a leadership program, and he has a reputation of the highest caliber.

    Unbelievably Great Lawyer!

    Mr. Brezina exceeded my expectations in every aspect. He tirelessly worked on my behalf and kept me informed on all aspects of my case. He was instrumental in guiding me in my preparation and responses to all inquires. If I have a need for counsel in the future I have Mr. Brezina on speed dial!!!

    One of my favorite attorneys

    For the past decade, I've worked with attorneys in five states. I'm delighted when I can send Michael a case, knowing it will get his full attention and he'll keep me up to date as the facts develop. Smart, funny, family-oriented, the total package!

    Real simple: this lawyer is a cut above the entire field and I would go as far as saying he is a cut above the profession. I once recommended 2 clients to him with this gaurantee; if they was not delightfully impressed with this guy and his work, just send me their bill and I would personally pay it . Neither client sent me the bill and I am sure that any potential client will never look for an attorney again
