"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."
