Michael Koch - I can’t thank him enough

Michael Koch helped me in the two most difficult times in my life. He is an exceptional listener. I feel this is a quality that is appreciated in these sensitive type situations. One situation was particularly traumatizing. If he didn’t help oversee the process… I would have absolutely fallen apart.... Thank you for all your help over the years! I definitely would recommend.

Exceptional Service and Results

I highly recommend our attorney Mr. Michael Koch of Brooks Koch & Sorg. Mike has represented our family for over 20 years in many aspects and with two favorable cases for us. He is very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Mike has excellent communication and listening skills. You will ne...ver have to worry about him getting back to you. Mike is always on top of everything and available to answers questions and concerns throughout the legal process. He and his team will fight for you and this will help take away some of the stress and strain for you. Exceptional service and results.

One of the good ones

A few years ago, my husband and I were in stopped traffic on a major highway when we were rear ended by a car traveling at highway speeds. The resulting concussion was life changing, yet the insurance company, after two years of delays, offered us a insulting grand total of ~ $1,000, denying the conc...ussion and resulting syndrome. We are in our 50s and 60s and though we had experience with a lot of "life" we had never been involved in anything like this or any kind of litigation. We falsely believed we could negotiate on our own and "not take advantage" of the insurance company. We thought we would get a reasonable settlement and save everyone money. By the time it dawned on us that the insurance company had no interest in fairness, we were close to the deadline to file a lawsuit. We reached out to several attorneys. Most just wanted to "sign" us without taking the time to understand the case or answer our questions. Mike was different. He sought to understand the uniqueness of our case. With a very reasonable retainer, he went right to work, even visiting our home to look us in the eye and understand what we had been going through. He handled everything at lightning speed, offering wise, compassionate counsel at every twist and turn. We found Mike to be exceedingly competent, but with a heart. At the end of the day, we received a reasonable offer, so we can begin to put our lives back together. I admit I've never had a great opinion of attorneys, but Mike is different. He's a "good egg." I cannot imagine a better experience than working with Mike and only wish we had found him sooner.

Ms. Danielle Amerman

Mr. Koch has represented me on two different occasions; a car accident a few days before my twenty-first birthday and a dog bite injury several years later. Throughout both cases he kept constant effective communication during the whole process. I was always kept informed on what was going on and whe...re the case was going. I appreciate how respectful, polite, professional; yet personable Michael is. Highly Recommend!!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
