Attorney Michael Saltzer is wonderful. He was honest with me about my case and I really appreciated that. We agreed on a number and he worked until that number was achieved. He worked hard to get me what I deserved and I truly appreciate all his hard work!
"On multiple occasions throughout the past twenty-five years I have had an opportunity to work with Michael as co-counsel on personal injury cases. Michael has tremendous knowledge of Ohio substantive law, including motor vehicle insurance law. Michael is both an excellent trial attorney, and is further "client-friendly". I whole-heartedly endorse Michael Saltzer as an excellent personal injury attorney."
