Hands down the best attorney!!!

After a disappointing consultation with another attorney I went on a google search to find an attorney who cares and could handle my police disability claim. I was so very fortunate to find Michael Rothmann . After my first consultation with him I felt a sense of relief. He took his time explaining e...verything to me and let me know he would be by my side every step of the way. Michael Rothmann’s work Ethic is impeccable!!!! He always treated me like a human being not just another number and even wiped many tears. He really cares about his clients and what they are going through. If you are looking for an attorney that truly cares and will fight for you because he cares then Michael Rothmann is your attorney. Michael Rothmann won my case and as promised he was there every step of the way!!!! I’m so very grateful.

Dedicated and Professional Attorney

I was seeking an attorney for my disability case and was very fortunate to find Michael Rothmann. He was highly professional throughout the entire case, always taking the time to explain everything thoroughly and with compassion. All paperwork was filed in a timely manner and Michael's communication... was excellent. Not once did I worry when I was in his hands as I could tell he had an accurate and precise understanding of the law and procedures surrounding my case. If you are seeking legal representation, I would recommend you look no further and reach out to Michael. He is a true gentleman and fierce advocate for his clients. My case had a positive outcome due to his hard work and expertise. Thank you Michael

Avvo Rating

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.
