Outstanding!

Michael was outstanding! Handled a severance package and got more than the original offer. Very professional and was always in touch to keep me updated as the process moved along. Very knowledgeable in every aspect of what of could and should be done. My best interest were always at the forefront of ...everything. Would hire him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

Personal Injury

Michael was seriously the best lawyer I've come in contact with! He was excellent at keeping me informed throughout the whole process of my claim. Even before I hired him he explained what to expect, made me comfortable with understanding the steps and didn't bombard me for "the sale" like other lawy...ers. It's bittersweet that I won't be working with him again (hopefully). I highly suggest him to handle your claim(s)!

No hesitation to recommend him

Mr. Karst was superb. He was on time, returned calls and emails promptly, explained anything I asked, did not over-promise results, was professional and very pleasant. He is one of few lawyers without a superior attitude. Additionally, he was very knowledgable and detailed. I am very pleased with my ...settlement and would have zero hesitation to recommend him to anyone.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
